Mini or Laptop

I'd be interested in knowing if anyone has compared a PC with JPlay loaded vs Mac....I've never owned Mac, but JPlay has made it a new game.

Buy a used 2010 Mini. Run Snow Leopard. Tweak according to this website:

Use Pure Music software. Upgrade to 8 MB RAM and replace the internal hard drive with an SSD to run the operating system. You can do each of these upgrades incrementally. You won't be sorry.

Mini will sound better.

I'd go for the mini. It Works like a charm.

I have used a Mac Mini for about a year now. I have in on my AV rack with everything else (amp, DAC etc). I the HDMI connected to my HDTV to use as a monitor as needed. I have the Apple wireless keyboard and trackpad on a small table next to my chair. For most playback I use my iPad wit the Apple Remote app to control things.

What about a modified mac mini? (mach2)

old MacBook works fine for me.
