    Amazing Computer for working from home

    I purchased this Mac Mini to replace a 2014 model. It is incredibly fast, I had no idea what I was missing. Boot time was quick, any application launches incredibly quick. I love this machine, I have 3 monitors hooked up to it. I use it for everyday working from home and it works like a charm. Highly recommend. Easy to setup, especially if you already have an Apple ID. Al of your things transfer right over

    Great MAC replaces all other Desktops at a much more affordable price for an Elite machine.

    I love the small footprint and flexibility of building my own system around the MacMini. This unit is replacing an 8-year-old mini that is now serving as my primary jukebox. This is by far the fastest Mac I've ever owned and I wouldn't consider another brand for any reason. This unit is reliable, modular, up-to-date and all you could hope for in something this size. There are no disappointments with the new MacMini. Note: It supports a Vizio 32" tv as a monitor perfectly.

    My First Mac!

    I really love this Mac mini. It has taken me years to purchase a Mac instead of a PC and so pleased I’ve finally took the leap. I do not see me returning to a PC again. It’s very much a learning curve but well worth the time to learn. I really love how everything works together when you own different apple devices. I look forward to further exploring the Mac mini Desktop. Over time I’ll upgrade from i3 and etc. but for me as a first timer is more than enough for me to do my day to day activities, school, work, etc. ** I will add even though this says “mini” this is actually a good size computer. Nothing huge by all means but not tiny. I guess from the pictures online I thought this was much smaller but I was surprised to see it was much bigger than I assumed. It should fit fine on your desk with space or you can purchase wall mounts to place it underneath your desk, wall, or other places. Not sure what these are called but check Best Buy or the apple store too. Ok hope this helps someone! Wish the best!!

    This is the second Mac mini I have purchased. The first one was several years ago. In my opinion you will not find a better computer for the price. Also with this computer you do not catch viruses. Just a reminder no monitor, keyboard or mouse. I have this connected to my 75 inch TV. It works flawlessly.

    We're a mac family who was suddenly in need of a desktop computer for distance learning. Since I'd already had a Mac monitor, going with the mini made sense. Super easy setup and, since it works just like the laptops I'm used to, use has been a breeze. It's super quick and powerful, It's a win.

    I have wanted a mac mini for a long time, I finally made the purchase, just waiting for my 2 monitors to arrive and then I'll have a very nice set up in my home office. Can't go wrong with a mac! A little disappointed that BBY didn't offer the $50 like Apple does for students.

    What you should except from Apple

    So surprised at how fast this low specked machine runs. I have a late 2011 mac a fraction as fast as this. I realize the new m1 version is a bit cheaper and runs iPad and phone apps, but this still. Can hold much more ram, and the ability to partition the hard drive and run windows 10. I realize people complain that Apple is expensive, but this to me is an awful lot for the price.

    Bought this for my parents-in-law. All we ask from a device for them is to minimize the family tech support calls to us, and this does that job beautifully. Everything is plug-and-play, and pretty painless for non-savvy users. We don't have to worry as much that they'll be mobbed by malware, and quick & dirty Time Machine means we can even get them to do backups.

    Great compact Mac without a keyboard, mouse, monitor. While it is able to work with portable mac compatible (via HDMI) monitors, it was unable to directly interface with a standard dell monitor (via HDMI), nor a generic HDMI port available on a range of KVM switches to a standard dell monitor.

    Good desktop for light use I recommend getting the i5 16 gb version, while this is good for normal light office use it is not recommend for heavy use, upgrading to a higher spec should be just fine I actually returned this product since I feel a Pc would fit my needs better

    The best thing about a Mac is the amazing display and all accessories included. However, the Mac mini does not include anything extra—it’s a BYOD computer. But the speed and performance does not disappoint! Since I had a mouse, keyboard, and monitor before, this was the perfect addition to my home office. Price was a little high, but then again, it’s Apple and you are paying for quality and longevity. This fits right into the Apple ecosystem of devices, and with Big Sur coming out this fall, the cleanliness of the desktop will parallel iOS, making a phone and a Mac perfect counterparts—separate but connected.

    Super fast; all storage is in the cloud, not on the machine itself, which I don't like. Makes you pay for Apple storage plan ($2.99/month). Otherwise, very happy.
