Aptly named, the Apple Mac mini is an ultracompact computer featuring the same easy-to-use Mac operating system as its larger iMac and Mac Pro counterparts. If you're unfamiliar with Mac computers but considering a switch from a Windows PC, choosing a new Mac mini is an affordable option. VLC Media Player has to be one of the most popular third-party media players available for Mac (as well as PC, Android, iOS and so on) due to its compatibility with a breathtaking number of audio. Plex also has AC3 and DTS passthrough (as do many other apps, such as the Apple DVD Player and VLC) but that only helps if your media already has AC3/DTS encoded audio. I'm going to have to check out Plex for the Mac mini media centre, it looks very cool.-k. As the owner of an Apple TV, DVD player, VCR, and AV receiver with AM and FM tuner, was this all necessary? Did turning the Mac mini into a media center enhance my multimedia life in significant ways? Do not expect the best MacBook Pro for music production at a cheap price. Generally, the more expensive the computer is, the better it will perform. This is not to mean that you cannot get cheap laptops for music production. You actually can. The Mac Mini is one of the best budget Mac.
