After nine years, it was time to replace our home computer. I took my wife to Best Buy to look at the options, and we were unimpressed with all the new Windows 8.1 desktops. We didn't want a big clunky desktop or a touchscreen-type, all-in-one computer. After looking at the Macs, we were impressed, but the prices were high. This Mac Mini being the cheapest way to get into a new Mac, we did it and have been very impressed. It's been an easy transition for me and my wife, and it's faster than the specs would seem to indicate it should be.

Overall looks Great! Performance, with the included 5400RPM Hard Drive it was so sluggish, there was no way this thing could perform reasonably for what I needed it for. I am currently schooling for IOS Development and the drive was just to slow. I installed an 500GB SSD the same day and it sped this little guy right up. It's a great little machine now, it won't be editing massive photos, or editing 4k video or even 1080 easily but it's an awesome little machine.

Easy to configure and set up, works great with all systems both hardwired and wireless.
