Hello there,

In case anyone is considering the new (and very controversial non-4-core, non-upgradable) Mac Mini, I just wanted to give you a heads up. Kodi runs great on this little beast.

I used to have all kinds of problems with my 2010 Mini (screen tearing, out-of-sync sound...). Running smooth and perfect on the new one.

Cheers,

Arubinst

Apple have finally sorted out the Mac Mini's problems - and not before time....

The fix will be because Intel finally sorted out how to get perfect video sync from the Haswell CPU with Integrated HD Graphics in the new 2014 Mac Mini's.
Its also what makes the Haswell-ULT HD Graphics equipped $150 Chromebox such good bang for the buck!

It definitely makes a perfect video synced $35 Raspberry Pi the bargain of the century!
No wonder over 3 million have been sold.
