[QUOTE="candy, post: 315737, member: 25121"] What would be the better way to get my iTunes content over to the big screen, Mac Mini or Apple TV? Here’s a handy table comparing the two products (information on the Apple TV was found at Ars Technica citing AppleInsider). Apple TV : Price: $299 Audio Output : HDMI, optical audio, analog RCA stereo audio Hard Drive: 40GB CD/DVD: None Processor: 1.0GHz Pentium underclocked on a 350MHz bus RAM: 256MB of 400MHz DDR2 Software (selected): Apple TV interface (modified Front Row) Video RAM : nVidia G72M with 64MB DDR2 Video Memory Wireless Features: 802.11b, g, n Weight: 2.4lbs Video Output: HDMI, component video Mac mini: Price: $599 Audio Output: Combined optical digital audio output/headphone out Hard Drive: 60GB CD/DVD: Combo Drive (DVD-ROM/CD-RW) Processor: 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo RAM:512MB (Video RAM shares this RAM) Software (selected): Mac OS X, iLife, Front Row Video RAM: Intel GMA 950 graphics processor with 64MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared with main memory Wireless Features: 802.11b, g and Bluetooth 2.0 Weight: 2.9lbs Video Output: DVI, VGA with included adapter, S-Video and composite video with optional adapter I am sure there are more considerations to ponder in making your decision, but if you get lost or confused just ask yourself, “What do I want to do with this thing?” Once you know the use of the product, you may have a clearer idea of what to chose. Well, what should you get? [/QUOTE]
