Mac Mini vs. Microsoft Media Center

March 11th, 2006

CNET UK has a showdown-style review of the Mac mini vs. Microsoft Media Center PCs. In Round 1, they test how the devices fare as a DVR, working with a third party TV tuner and an LCD TV.

The Mac mini wins this first round :
The Mac Mini automatically recognised the LCD TV we’re using, and the third-party tuner was similarly straightforward to set up. Compared to the hours we’ve spent coaxing similar results out of some Microsoft Media Center systems, the Mini is definitely ahead so far.

Stay tuned for Round 2.
