Explain like I'm Five: 2015 Mac Mini 3.0 i7 better or worse than 2011 MBP 16gb 2.4 i7 quad core?
Im still waiting to here back again from Apple on my failing 2011 MBP for the video card problem. They didn't find anything the first time but it's constantly crashing with the exact symptoms. So not being able to afford a new MBP (supposed to last me 6 years), I'm thinking of a Mac Mini 8gb and i7 dual core. I use my MBP for surfing/Netflix, etc on my "42 LCD in my den and rip my purchased DVDs and Blurays to an external for deployments. Will the Mac Mini I spec'd hold up or perform better? Not too hardware savvy song could use some advice.
MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
