Computing Forever 73,223 views. Nov 01, 2018  I've decided to move over from Windows to Mac for music production. I mainly use Ableton, but will look at Logic as another option. I am looking at getting either one of the following: 1) New 2018 Mac Mini (announced today) 3.2GHz 6‑core 8th‑generation In. I liked the price for what the mini was offering, but.i didn't have a monitor, keyboard etc. If you don't have those things, you will probably end up adding a lot of extra loot on top of what you pay for the mini. Probably pretty close to the price of, say, a bottom of the line macbook pro or a imac. That being said, if you do have those.

Hi all,
I'm thinking about buying a Mac Mini as a dedicated music computer and wondering which one to get.. Maybe second-hand with good enough specs should be fine (and save a lot of money).
Currently I'm using a MacBook Pro 15' 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM and a 500GB 7200rpm HD, running OS X 10.8.5. Soundcard is first gen MOTU Ultralite (FW 400 connector). Using Live 8 and Logic Pro X and heaviest plug-ins are probably Reaktor ensembles. The laptop copes ok with that all, but a bit faster would of course be better, but don't think I need the absolutely latest and greatest, fastest machine out there..
But.. if going for new, then quite fancy the €629 2.5GHz Dual Core i5 Mac Mini:

- Firewire 800 port to MOTU's 400 port is ok?
- HD is 5400rpm, but tbh I noticed the extra noise more than the extra speed when I upgraded my laptop from 5400 to 7200..
- I assume the Mac Mini is going to run as quiet as a church mouse, right?
