Hi,
I want to buy a Mac for converting my LPs (vinyl) to CD. So therefore, I want a quality audio-in.
I don't play games.
So which one would be the best choice: a Mac Mini or a MacBook?
I suppose the Mini doesn't have a heat problem but is a bit slower.
The only thing that am I afraid of is hum or noise while I record.
On the other hand, the MacBook seems more bang for a buck. I won't have to buy an additional monitor, keyboard and mouse...
But I can connect the Mac, if necessary, in Firewire mode to a G5 Dual 1.8 which is unfortunately not in the same room as my stereo-equipment
Therefore, a Mac which is easily to transport in the house, is something that I want.

I am also planning to use it to connect to my TV to watch DVDs.
Would 1 GB RAM be enough? And are the harddrives of these Macs fast enough for audio recording?

TIA
