My first Mac
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to replace an old kitchen PC that had the hard drive die... It was very easy to set up... the magic mouse and the blue tooth keyboard i purchased linked up with no problem and work flawlessly. Unit runs cool which is nice because i have it hidden in cabinetry. I am using it to sync with my wifes new ipad with no issues and easy set up. Very easy to go from win 7 to this interface... you can see where microsoft gets their insperation. Easy to use, no fuss with antispyware... very nice! There my be something to this vertically intergrated theory of Apples... by controlling hardware and software... it just seems to work and that was what I was looking for in this instillation. Not going to run away from my windows computer just yet... but I will admit that this has been refreshinly easy to get started with and easy to use from day one!

Absolutely 100% the best computer I have owned!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been a mac fan for a long time ever since my first year in college in design classes. I have had an iphone for two years and I have gotten to the point where my pc crashed, and the motherboard was unfixable. So I decided it was time to get a mac. I already had the monitor, keyboard, and mouse so I had two options; mac mini and mac pro. I would love to own a mac pro in the future, but for now I would have to go with the mini. I did research and for what I wanted, (music editing, photoshop, playing and watching movies, multitasking, etc) I found the faster more expensive mini was worth it. This computer is so amazing; processing, graphics, power consumption, weight, size, low noise, looks, its just mind boggling how great it is. If you are considering a desktop mac for medium size tasks, this is the best bet for you. I've been extremely happy with this computer, and have been telling everyone I know in the same boat as I was; life's too short not to have a mac.

What Windows7 and a PC are trying to copy
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very computer literate, and I have been using PC's since I was 5, but I have recently "seen the light", and once I was passed the Mac OS learning curve, and unlearned my PC bad habits, I became much more efficient than I ever was on my PC. This Mac mini is small, quiet, and FAST! It's the little things like the DDR3 RAM (vs DDR2 on the other cheap mini PC's), Frontside BUS speed, and nice design touches that make the system worth every bit of the asking price! If you buy this, you will not regret it. Give yourself time to learn this OS as it is different than Windows, well, Windows7 is trying very hard to be like it so, why not just get the real thing?

BOOM!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this machine. Tiny, Elegant, and Powerful. With the purchase of this product I have completed my transition to Mac. I own an IMac for work, a 5 year old powerbook for mobility, and now the rest of the family can join in the fun with our new Mac Mini. No more slow start ups and frustration. Everything just works. Works great with design software, music, Microsoft Office, etc. and even video games.

Better then a Windows OC
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very powerful machine in a small package. The best part of it is the price!!!I paid $729 for this computer and I am HIGHLY impressed. If you like Windows and still want to use it, you CAN!!! I have been using Windows for the last 20+ years and I will never go back!

Mini Mac is Awsome
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Size really dose not matter when it comes to the Mini Mac. This computer is fast and powerful. The only hard part about the mac is learning a new system. I have been a regular PC user for ever. I will never go back!

Don't let it's size fool you!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Mac Mini is AWESOME!!! I added the Mini to my Home Theater and it is perfect! I use my Mini with my 50" Sony LCD, so basically I have a 50" Apple computer. I have it connected via DVI to HDMI into my TV. I also have it hooked up to my Yamaha receiver, so I have full 5.1 surround audio. I also purchased the Elgato EyeTV, with my ultimate goal of replacing my DVR and using the Mini as my media center hub.

Best for the moeny
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome if you intend to connect to your big screen (only do so via mini-DVi to VGA...the HDMI route distorts the color scheme badly). moneywise, great computer, super small, just sems to lag on the internet (and i use 18MB internet). still an awesome computer
