    The MAC mini M4 was very easy to set up, connect to my wireless router and connect to my Apple Laptop to transfer files and applications. I had no trouble bringing it up and it connected to my available keyboard and mouse. It is very fast and I am very happy with it.

    Amazing Apple Device at a low price

    This is quite possibly one of the best tech purchases of the decade. If you already have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse the pricing on this is unbelievable to a younger me. OSX is amazing on the M platform, and 16GB of RAM base is sufficient for most home users. While the 256GB seems low, with all of the cloud storage providers I don't see filling up the storage quickly here.

    Using for a simple work from home setup, works well with my usb-c hub monitor. Feels overpowered for simple PDF editing and online multimedia. Setup was easy.

    I was in need of a new computer and this machine was the perfect match. Yes, I would have liked more ram, storage, and ports, but these issues are all solvable at reasonable prices. I viewed this as an opportunity to be able to build a machine that addressed my specific needs using a far superior M4 chip as the foundation. The small footprint and M4 chip along with the enticing price tag of under $500 made this decision a “no brained”.

    I’m glad I purchased this to replace my aging computer. It’s far more powerful than I expected and the compact size is a plus.

    This mini mac replaced our old Windows 10 computer and man do we love it! It is powerful and even has a pretty good speaker within. We use it in our home office and it unlocks with my apple watch too! Suggested by Best Buy salesman Colin and we could not be more pleased.

    Mac Mini - a good option f the budget minded.

    Love the Mac Mini Desktop as an alternative to the more expensive iMacs. I have had several Apple iMacs over the years and would not use a Windows computer (except if required for work) again. Its mall footprint and design require a monitor and and several options: An Apple brand keyboard, mouse (both should be wireless)o are recommended. Also, because there are only USB-C and no USB-A ports, you should consider purchasing a port-expander that includes USB-A and USB-C ports and Micro & SD Cards if you need them for a DVD/CD external drive - I'm using the Satechi - Type-C Aluminum Stand and Hub for Mac Mini and it works well. Also get at least a 4K display monitor. Get the best you can afford with HDMI connector port. You'll need it unless the display you order has one included. If have the $'s, purchase an iMac desktop, If budget-constricted, the Mac mini with options.

    Mac Mini M4 -- Great

    This computer is a steal. If your primary use of it does not involve graphics, the Mac Mini M4 is head and shoulders above any competing PC, including not having to deal with all of the thousands of annoyances involving Microsoft. My data transferred from my old machine in less than 5 minutes. It was plug and play, with no curveballs or difficulties. Since I don't deal with graphics or video, I don't need any of Apple's superb graphics cards, screens, or monitors, which saves a bundle. I must admit that I do miss the pleasure of those beautiful screens, but for the office. I appreciate the savings. Best Buy even offered it at a discount from its standard retail price. Thank you, Best Buy.

    Surprisingly very good as a standalone desktop. Works with any monitor I have and doesn’t stutter or lag at all. Granted I only use it for productivity for classes and work (mostly browser) but it reaches the hz rate I want to run it at. I have an expensive monitor so why should I shell out more money for an Apple one? 10/10 price to performance and saving like a thousand from not having to buy the monitor as wel

    Great little unit. When i saw the sale price at $480, I finally bit. Its been years I have been having old hand me downs repaired only to be disappointed that not even garage band would work. Brought this thing home, I have managed to make a couple songs, edit some videos and some photos for christmas presents. Ties in with my ipad perfectly! I also love the base option for expandable storage (aftermarket).

    The fact that you can get this kind of performance at this price is absolutely amazing!!! I am using this for home music production! Im not using this for ultra advanced movie scoring, but for basic music production it checks all of the marks at an amazing price! If you need more than this, then you are obviously in a professional field and you already know that you need more power.
