Hi there,
I recently sold my Windows i5 GTX 970 gaming desktop which i used lately only for streaming Plex and casual use.
But i was always sold on the Mac Mini and with the refresh i'm finally buying one, but i'm wondering which one.
What it's priority is:
- Plex 4K streaming
My former pc had to do alot of transcode (HEVC) to my Sony A1 (Android TV) and it buffered quitte long imo so i hope this can be reduced. I don't know if it has to do with the server (Mac Mini) or client (Sony TV).
So i was wondering in which processor i need to invest, i3, i5 or i7?
I tend to keep the Mac pretty long, about 6 years, and i only intent to play Magic The Gathering: Arena on it if it ever comes available on MacOS.
Maybe some light Photoshop in the future but don't keep that in mind as i'm buying it in purpose of Plex and casual browsing and mailing.
Thanks already!
