Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hands down one of the best investments I made in tech. Was a breeze to install and runs smoothly with many development, database, spreadsheets and other random apps open

The Mac mini is a pretty nice computer. Please be aware that it does not come with a keyboard or mouse, you'll need to purchase those separately, you can get a docking station which can house up to a 4 TB drive for $99 from Best buy. The additional hard drive for use in the docking station will cost you between $80 and $400 depending on the model. If you are in the Apple ecosphere, then this is a no-brainer. It comes with Mac OS, 15.2, free updates, software to do office work and much more.

I thought my conversion from stodgy desktop to agile laptop was a one way street but the Mac Mini completely flips the script on what it means to be a ‘stationary’ computer. At just over 600g and a footprint barely bigger than a beer coaster, I had a hard time believing the powerhouse computer I was eagerly expecting could really be packed into the minimalist unibody that arrived, and it hadn’t been stolen and swapped out for an empty box. But if seeing isn’t enough for believing, youll have to add hearing too, but what can you hear? Nothing! Even when throwing a 50 feed video conference, independent screen recording, (literally) hundreds of browser tabs and airplaying to an old intel macbook for an additional screen, this Mac Mini, this machine, didn’t even break a sweat and was only audible with my ear right next to the exhaust. Does it have its weaknesses compared to a laptop? Sure. Would it be great if it could come with magic mouse or keyboard and inbuilt microphone orTouch ID? Absolutsly. But you look at base models and you’ll soon see: MacBook Air? Twice the price. Macbook Pro? *TRIPLE.* So now think about how much youll have saved to get the mouse (or trackpad), keyboard and other accessories you really want. On mini desktops, Apple may have thrown the gauntlet, but it’s pribably going to float gently down.

Quite the upgrade from a 2017 iMac. Super quick and super quiet.

Thing is blazing fast, and with 24 GB of RAM it never gets hung up on anything

The equipment has worked great for coding and task that requiere a better performance equipment. If you already have an external screen this is it for your work from home office!

I love this new Mac mini. It is a little powerhouse and is suiting my needs perfectly!

I love the size of it. I was disappointed because I was expecting an increase in speed (things to load quicker) when I upgraded to this from my MacBook Pro M1, but I can't see a difference in performance at all. I still gave it 5 stars because it does work and it is small enough to tuck away behind the monitor which frees up desk space.

Excellent speed and ease to use . Definitely have to give 5 stars.

A fast computer handles raw photo files and is small for taking up space.

Best computer I ever owned hands-down that’s all I’m gonna say.

For my first time actually having a home setup I am really glad I went with this Mac mini. It is perfect for what I am doing (mainly school and work). I do not know if I would go any higher with the SSD only because you would be able to add a seperate portable SSD to it and give it more. I would recommend this to anyone who is into getting apple products and loved how easy it was to transfer everything over from my laptop.

Great size, fast speed just what I needed. Highly recommended

Love the size and the speed since the new ai takeover my m2 wasnt cutting it anymore wife happy so im happy

The open box device arrived on time in original packaging. I have transferred my data from mt Y as book Pro without any issues and everything works fine. I am very pleased with my purchase, would do it again, and highly recommend the Open Box Best Buy plan to others.

Amazing machine for my digital marketing company, i love how it works.

I needed to get a new computer for my basement as I am usually working from there more. Chose this one because I currently own the Mac studio which I find impeccable. Long story short, the mini happens to be on par with the studio. Love it.

Great product great price best team sales every time

A few weeks into my experience with it (specs: M4, 512GB internal SSD, 24GB memory), overall a great desktop computer and very happy with the purchase. I would like to give it more than 4 stars, but I don't think it earns a full 5 stars. Some observations: > ethernet-based data transfer/migration from previous Intel-based Mac mini with a 10GB ethernet port seemed slow; had expected it to be much quicker > otherwise, migration worked as expected > while there was significant performance improvement across most applications in previous desktop, not all saw this (e.g. not much perceived with MS apps) > I would have preferred the audio jack to be in the back to connect to exterior speakers > appreciate the two USB-C ports in the front but would have liked to see at least an additional USB-A port in the back > setting up Time Machine with external SanDisk SSD was problematic (formatting failure a couple of times, but eventually worked ok); periodically, I still get an error/failure message on backups (setup for daily) > occasionally, wired keyboard (from Macally) doesn't register first key press as if it had gone to sleep; this never happened with previous Mac mini > as (almost) always, excellent Apple customer service support > surprisingly, runs much cooler than previous Mac mini > price-wise, the incremental costs for the internal SSD and memory upgrades frankly almost seem onerous, particularly when compared to options for other competing desktops

Love using this little computer as my introduction to thr macOS operating system. Runs programs quickly and quietly.
