[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 870722, member: 24160"] Several reasons: The way a Mac treats output via HDMI to a HDTV is a big one - on this count - Windows just works and the Mac doesn't - this is why I haven't bought a mini already in the last year or so. Browsing the web or reading text on a 65" screen from a Mac, looks like doodoo - MS ClearType rendering just wins hands down on a big screen. No Core i7 on a Mac Can't play commercial Blu-Rays on a Mac Along with that one, no sound card for a Mac that can output Dolby True HD or DTS-HD or even pass thru to my receiver for the decoding. Am really not interested in the 9400M of the mini Don't think I'll give up OS X for my personal computing, but just can't see a Mac for an HTPC that I may want to game on from time to time also.
