My review may be biased but still 100% accurate. The Apple Mac Mini is a powerhouse. I love that it allows the ability to use the iPad Pro as the screen (when using Lumia). If you’ve ever owned a Mac or Apple product then you already know the quality you are getting. The sleek color and finish is silky smooth and emits zero noise when on. The new usb-c ports are fantastic as well!

I bought the 2018 Mac mini to replace the previous model that I had only bought less than a year prior. The difference is night and day. Where the old 2014 Mac mini would choke on just about everything, this new machine has handled every single thing that I have thrown at it, without hesitation. My only complaint is the paltry internal 128GB SSD, which I only use for temporary storage. I run the system off a larger external SSD. Also, while the RAM on this model is user upgradeable, Apple has made sure it's as difficult as possible. I ended up buying the 32GB RAM upgrade and taking it to a shop that specializes in Mac service and repair to get it installed. I just wasn't comfortable fully disassembling the computer to get to the motherboard. If you are looking to get the RAM upgraded and won't be doing it yourself, forget about taking it to the clowns at Geek Squad. They'll tell you they can do the upgrade, but when you call to make the appointment you get some sort of excuse about how they aren't allowed to touch any Apple computers (called 4 different Best Buy stores in my area and they all gave the same excuse). If you have an Experimac store near you, I highly recommend them!

I've gone back and forth between PC's and Apple many times. As a computer person you tend to accumulate bits and pieces over the years. Thats why buying a MacMini makes it so simple. you use your PC keyboard and mouse and your monitor and just plug them in the Mac mini. Everything works correctly right away and I don't even have to format my back-up USB drive to use with a Mac, it reads the files as they are. and if you feel the need of using Windows in some capacity you can do that too with a Mac. Since I've had different computers in my home over the last 42 years I think I am qualified to give an objective review in this case.
