Can someone explain exactly what the HDX system is? From the little
research I've done (yes, I should do more) - it's some kind of hardware
and software combination?

Hi Scott,
I don't remember where I heard that but I made a mental note of it because I was thinking
of it as a possible option for the HDX system. I'm sure it's on Avid's site somewhere.
I'll see if I can find it. Of course, sometimes machines are not "approved" and
yet they function mostly well with some idiosyncrasies.

Can you remember any specifics Slau? I've mixed a couple of projects
with PT running on one owned by a buddy of mine and not seen any
issues to date. Not doubting you, just asking because he mainly uses
it to record gigs... pretty much the worst environment for undetected
gremlins to be loitering.

I seem to remember hearing that the Mini Server edition did not play nicely
with Pro Tools. I'd just be careful about looking into that for anyone
considering that route.

SO do I, generally... If I went the mini route, I'd definitely be
upgrading the ram myself. As for SSD's; apple are charging £160 for a
single 256GB ssd, which isn't far off everywhere else. For 2 of them,
however, they want £480... work that one out.
If it were just 1 SSD, I'd go with apple's; beats taking the logic board
out, and besides if you have a non apple SSD with OSX, you must install
trim enabler - and run it every time you do an update, which would become
annoying. There's a special bracket required to put 2 drives in a mini -
it's not, unfortunately, a standard thing in every mini; only certain
configurations!

Ah, who designed that! Apple are missing an obvious configuration
there. Had no idea that was the case as I generally pick up parts and
upgrade after purchase to save a few quid.
Good luck with the new machine. May she be speedy.

Thanks Scott, Nick and Slau - it looks like I'll probably forget the
mini, as it's a little behind in terms of technology.
I was considering a mac mini server; however, I wanted an SSD. If you
add an SSD to a server, you don't get the extra 1TB hard drive in
addition - the choices are either:
2 1TB drives
1 SSD
2 SSD's
For the price of apple's 2 SSD's I could buy a thunderbolt drive. It's
a
shame; a server mini with an SSD and a 1TB drive would be perfect.
However; what I ultimately need is speed; and the macbook pro will give
me more of that than the mini.

Since you said you preferred desktops, if you do go the Mac Mini
route, look into the Mac Mini server line.

Hi, I would go with the mac book pro as you can take it with you and
have editing abilities on the road. That is why I bought my mac book

Hey all,
What are your thoughts on the below machines:
Mac mini. 2.6GHZ Ivybridge Core I7 quad core CPU. 16GB ram, 256GB
SSD.
vs...
Macbook pro, retina, 15". 2.6GHZ Haswell I7. 16GB ram. 1TB PCE-Based
Flash
I'd like a decent machine for ProTools. I do like desktop machines;
but if the macbook pro would be considerably faster, I'll use a
laptop. Drive space isn't a consideration.
Thoughts?
Thanks
Ashley
