While the Mac Mini (3.0ghz 6-core, 8gb ram. That one.) does just about everything I’d intended it for, it’s pretty slow with some things (rendering vectors in Illustrator, for example) and gets cuh-razy hot. I slapped some external fans on ‘er and am upgrading the RAM myself in the near future.

Bought this to replace a 2011 Mac mini and I'm glad I waited. I'm using it for my work desk at home. I still use the MacBook Pro for Mobile use and setup the 2011 Mac Mini at work instead. It's fast enough for what I need it for. I might upgrade the memory in the near future. Mac Mini's still offer the best value for Apple computers.

If you need Mac and have monitor/keyboard already it is very good choice! Yet 8gb is too small for serious work like software development, but totally enough for non memory hungry tasks. Very energy efficient device and very fast CPU at the same time. Even though i5 does not have hyper-threading you still have full 6 cores!
