Home theaters benefit from Mac advantage
April 5th, 2006Even after all these years, Apple’s Macintosh remains the friendly computer. How friendly? Well, your iMac will probably even talk to your HDTV, without making a huge fuss about it.
Apple’s iMacs have some pretty cool software, called Front Row, for home theater applications. You can play DVD’s, play music, view photos, and watch videos. You can, in most cases, connect a Mac like the Mac mini directly to your home theater’s HDTV, and it will just work.
That’s one reason to consider adding a Mac to your media center, especially given today’s news that the newest Macs will be capable of running Windows XP. (Macs running Windows, Katie Couric taking over the CBS Evening News. Remind me again: Which are the other signs of the apocalypse?)
This tip comes to us by way of Henning Hoffmann’s new home theater site, HTBlog. Henning covers the high-def world over at HDBlog, a great resource for anyone shopping for next-generation TVs and such.
