Hi!
You’re probably right about that.

fun though but if i can afford a mac mini server that would be great.
Are there any differences in audio hardware on the server compared to the mac

If you want raw performance, the 2012 quad-core twin-SSD server is still a
better bet. For reasons best known to Apple, current Mac Minis simply don’t
have a quad-core option. I think that’s a crying shame, personally, because it
makes the newer Mac Mini a great deal less suitable as a headles

I'd take the keyboard and the monitor to the Apple store and try them both out
on the Mac to make sure.

I have both the 2012 and 2014 model, and the 2012 model is not faster than the

something to do with the speed.

Hi!
You can actually design your mac when ordering it from apple store.
So you can have a similar processor or higher on the air too if you want but
it will cost you more too.

I agree with that as well. Furthermore, the Mac OS does not change its UI and
UX every version or so. Apple, unlike Microsoft, has learned that users would
rather not learn a literally new OS every upgrade. Sure, additions like the Doc

Very similar story at my end: belligerent XP user won’t move because he just

I disagree with those saying it’s an obvious jump to later versions of Windows.
Notwithstanding that there’s still a c

My Mac mini is about 8 years old but I used it without a monitor for the
first 7 years I had it. Way back in the original version, leopard maybe,
it had problems running without a monitor. But once I upgraded it to
snow leopard, it had no problems. Maybe they re-introduced the problems
though.
Well, what I've done in the mean time, is use an app that sends the mac's video
to an iPhone.

I think the advice you have gotten for your friend about sticking with Windows

It is true that with a mini, you must buy a keyboard and speakers. And I think
