FFS People who are actually defending Apple now. Get your fucking fanboyism out of your head and actually look at the replies we are giving.

The guy is deciding to get a MAC MINI, not a Mac Pro and whatnot. Mac Mini is fucking terrible for gaming. If you don't know why, then fucking look it up. It has is using the integrated GPU. WHICH is terrible for gaming.

I've got to say, I like your ideas a lot  B)

refer to framerating, benchmarks....invent some fancy words and abbreviations....

Grammar nazis are people too!

Well try running three 1080p videos on the mac mini, it cant keep up(intel hd 4600). Warranty is great and all but apple are quite weird with some of there policies

 

I don't know and I don't really care, but if you state something like that, shouldn't you show us somekinda proof?
