Hi everyone,





I need your help, please. I’m currently using a mini PC that runs a torrent client 24/7. I access it about twice a day to check the available content and start downloads, all through the “Windows Remote Desktop” mobile app. The PC doesn’t have a monitor or keyboard connected—just external HDDs via USB.





My question is: as an iOS user, could I replace this setup with a Mac Mini? I also have an Apple TV in the house, in case that makes a difference.





Thanks in advance for your responses!

Whether you want to "go Mac" or stick with the PC...
... is really "up to you".

We can't make that decision for you.
How do you like iOS?
How do you like the Apple tv?

Is there something your current setup doesn't do, that you want it too?

You could, but to what end? If all the machine is doing is running torrents, just leave it alone and run it as is? What's the drive to upgrade it?
