Excellent choice for my needs. Learning the System Settings compared to System Preferences is a LEARNING adventure. The SSD is MUCH more responsive than the intel core i5 on my 2015 iMac. I am now sharing an ASUS 245 monitor with dual HDMI with my PC by toggling monitor inputs. YES, the Mac Mini has a better resolution than the PC.

I have to learn more about navigating with Safari, otherwise the component is better than its price would indicate

Replaced an older Mac Mini with this M2 version, and it's been a nice upgrade. I do a lot of video editing and while my 2014 mini could get it done, the processing power really speeds up rendering and exports.

The geek squad does some good work evaluating these open box devices. This Mac mini works perfectly. No issues since I’ve bought this product. Fast smooth processing on opening and closing apps. Updates made for an even more interactive experience. I’m glad with this Best Buy.

Looks awesome, it’s mini but powerful, cons: well priced base model with ridiculously overpriced upgrades, which you can’t do yourself because everything is glued together.

I like the size its my first the only problem i have had with it is its slow or gets a weak wifi connection ive moved next to my internet box ive reset it still slow to get a strong connection. Ive though about taken it back and still may seeing i only had it for a couple weeks im hoping it just need another software update. However i go ill have to spend more money that i dont need to spend to go with the pro version cause im just casual user. Anyway i hop this review helps someone and i read the review that this macmini have a problem getting a stong connection and believe me it does so beware of this may be a problem for you or not yet it was for me. Thanks for reading hope it helps you.

Don’t Let This Bad Rating Fool You!

I have deducted 3 stars but please be aware this is based purely on personal preferences-it is not a reflection on Apple’s part.
I am a long time iOS user. It has been 20+ yrs since I owned a Mac and I must admit I am not a big fan of Apples “improvements” to their Mac OS system.
My 2 biggest “complaints” would be:
1. I am disappointed there is no provision for Face ID, especially since Finger Prints still work.
2. After all this time, Apple still only offers basic settings for Brother Printers. (Unless I missed something)
I know that Apple is working on making their MacOS compatible with iPhone/iPad iOS systems. Once they fully implement this, I would add another star to my review.

Their 3rd party delivery driver delivered to the wrong address or kept it, and forged my name saying I signing for it. The photo clearly shows him leaving the package at someone's garage on the ground further proving no one signed for it. Best Buy told me they can't replace it or refund it and to call the police. I wasn't provided with the delivery driver's name so I have nothing to tell the police, and there's nothing on my security cameras so it's like trying to prove a negative. So purchased another one in-person and it works great.
