Plex is an app and a Roku channel that allows you to manage and play your. I bought this 7 year old Mac Mini for only one purpose: to act as a Plex Media server. This Mac Mini is Great For Limited Use-Email, Web Surfing, iTunes, MS Word So, the Mac mini has been a great solution to a "not so typical" need. Next, the bluetooth keyboard & mouse work well, for most of the same reasons that the mini works.įinally, when we are not traveling we can simply unplug the little desktop and take it into the house and have a nice desktop for the kids. I have found that the integrated Airport wireless is great for getting connected when we are in campgrounds with available WiFi. The 1.83GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor works well for the small footprint that the desktop takes up. I use Front Row with the free media center plugin, "Sapphire". The mini plugs into a 21" wall mounted LCD, therefore, a smaller attached LCD, on a laptop is less than useful.Īlso, the Mac mini remote makes it nice to control the OSX "Front Row" application. I have found that laptop PCs & Macbooks, because of their integrated screens, are not as easy, as the mini, to use as a media center/workstation in an RV. It fits easily on the smaller depth shelves that are necessary in the confined quarters of a camper. The size of the Mac mini makes it useful for traveling and camping in an RV or camper.
