The all new mini mac

I think these could well be the future of incar Pc's from now on

the USB touchscreen I have also comes with Mac Drivers

and for £350 its damn cheap

Wosket · January 12, 2005

Just bang on Videolan Client (VLC) ,MPlayer and Salling Clicker and what with iTunes on there you're away, don't need anything else :)

Full control via your Bluetooth phone too with that lot!

Tempted to get a couple of the Mini Mac's for around the house, love my Mac, don't ever use the PC at home any more, it's just quality :)

Brettster · January 13, 2005

never tried a mac

but im very tempted to now :)

aido · January 13, 2005

I like it mate, stable and everything just works, I work with Windows servers all day so got fed up of coming home to the same thing every night, the Mac is a great difference and the amount of apple kit I've bought since is just silly, everything so far just worked though, no dicking about, it's great :)

Brettster · January 13, 2005

now your sounding like a Honda advert, "isnt it nice when things, just work?"

hehe

having some mac knowledge behind me wont be such a bad thing either :)

Wosket · January 13, 2005

its true tho brett, i've had macs for over 5 years now and finally had to buy a pc last year to use for web related stuff and as a test platform and i tell ya the amount of hassle you get with a pc is unbelievable. never had any probs from any of my macs, had 7 so far. like aido says, they just work! and are so much simpler

hmmmmmmmm, In car Mac....those in the know tell me more

MrADeveci · January 13, 2005

Never used Mac before ...... but heard you can get software to be able to operate PC based stuff ......... if this is true ...... I could be tempted ... !!

Brettster · January 13, 2005

Yes

Microsoft make virtual PC for mac's Ive seen a G4 powermac running Windows 2000

seemed nice and speedy too

Mat, I think you would be better off with a PC as i dont think you'll ever get any mac to connect to anything like the Camp system etc

but if it was just for entertainment, then this mini mac would be a breeze to fit and use, Im pretty sure that all the vga touchscreens come with Mac drivers too, applications may be a bit thin on the ground for the moment, but i bet many people will buy these macs for incar use now due to the size and capability of the machine.

anything you can do on a pc you can do on a mac.

All i'd want it for really would be ..... MP3's ... and err.... movies .., u know the ones !

Wosket · January 13, 2005

ur better off with a mac then mr scarface. the s/ware you'd require would already be on it - itunes, iphoto and imovie.

Brettster · January 13, 2005

I guess it depends on how the camp system connects to the PC if it use's USB then i guess not a problem, but if it use's serial or printer port then I doubt you would get it to connect to a mac

if its a serial or printer port it must be ancient but saying that even if it was you could use a convertor to make it usb or firewire.

Brettster · January 13, 2005

well right now i'd settle for a big mac

MrADeveci · January 13, 2005

Hmm .... looks even more tempting - however, DivX ... isn't just the codec i'd need .......... I'll have to do some digging around, to see if the other codec I have work on the Mac !

Cheers !
