MacMini vs MacBookPro Server?

[Sten-Erik Björling]

Hi Michael,

I agree, I regard this machine to be very good as a server for a small company. For a server the D300 GPUs are enough and the upgrade to a 12 core demands some cool nerves and calm approach. The SSD can be upgraded to 2TB at this time and the memory 128 GB if need be… This means that most data can be cached and the Xeons in MacPro is older but still quite performant. And then it is quiet… BTW, did I say that is is also quiet… :-). And the hardware build is VERY good… And it is quiet...

Take care, all the best…

Stene
