Thanks, Slau, for clearing that up. For now, I'll stick with standard
PT11, and move to an HDX system when the need arises

Hi Ashley,
The HDX systems are hardware-based with a PCIx card and HD interfaces.
The processing is handled by the cards rather than the computer's CPU
and there's 0 latency. Also, plug-ins are active during input. The
software can certainly be used with Core Audio for editing or even
mixing but one doesn't reap the benefits mentioned above unless
they're connected to the PCIx cards. There's also the HD Native system
which offers 0 latency for inputs but does use the computer's CPU for
audio processing. For a lot of people, the HD Native is a good
solution. The HDX systems are quite expensive and overkill for most
people.

Hi Ashley,
I'm using a mac mini with mavericks and pt 11.1 with no problems.
Currently I have it in my floating rack ready to go remote, with a
hdmi samsung 19 inch monitor, on a boom arm for those that need
monitors! :)
I'm using the apollo duo with the thunderbolt option, & a fw 800
glyph 1 tb drive sitting beside it.
So its doable.
I prefer the full size keyboard and all the perks that the num pad
offers for pt.
YMMV

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
pro for just this reason. Nick Gawronski

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
