RE: Mac Mini?

This is the age old debate that comes up all the time. I say run what best suits your desires.

You'll find pluses and minuses mentioned in various forums for and against Mac Mini vs other tiny computers. Mac Mini in different iterations have been around for at least a decade now (since 2005 I think). Lenovo and others have caught on that people do appreciate tiny form factor computers.

However, by the time you pile on the PC options that come standard on Mac Mini, the myth that the Mini is more expensive is quickly debunked. I discovered this in configuring the Lenovo M900 (and others in the past).

I prefer Mac OS over Windows so that is my reason for running the Mac Mini as my music server. But Macs can also run Windows natively so there's that option if I ever have the desire.
