Apple - Mac mini - Intel Core i3 - 8GB Memory - 128GB Solid-State Drive - Space Gray

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!

Love this!! Turned my 75” tv into a Mac and use it for work on the couch

great bargain mac, if you can't afford a macbook this is the best bargain price mac there is

I love my new Mac mini. I think it’s much better than my old iMac. I like having a separate hard drive so that if something goes wrong with the computer screen, I can just buy a new monitor and not have to replace the whole computer. (My iMac monitor was unrepairable according to the genius people). I recommend hooking up external speakers for a much better sound experience. I tried connecting an old receiver through a USB port and the headphone jack. The USB port provides superior sound quality. I like using a receiver because I can crank the bass or treble when I want to. This Mac mini is so much faster than my old computer, it’s great. I like the Night Shift feature that greatly lowers the brightness on the monitor. It makes it easier to use the computer late at night without feeling you’re staring at a florescent light. I looked at a lot of different computers, at different stores and online and I’m really happy with this purchase. I want to give a shout out to Quinton at the Roseville store in MN. He provided outstanding customer service. I talked to another sales guy at that store about a week or so earlier and he was not nearly as helpful as Quinton. Apple consultant Troy was helpful too.

I brought this item 2 years ago and till this day is one of the best things I’ve ever brought.

I got it for $719 (Matched the Amazon price). I hooked it up to a 27” 4K LG monitor and WOW. Very impressive unit. Very responsive. In my opinion more responsive and more bang for your buck than a IMac. I had an IMac and sold it, replacing it with this mini. I’d say it’s a much better option overall. I also bought a 7 USB “hub” made by Insignia to make all the connections. That way I have eight total USB connections on top of the HDMI which runs the 4K monitor. I’m VERY pleased with Best Buy (N Canton) and with my new iMac mini!!

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.
