    I bought this unit for office work consisting of Word processing, connectivity to our network shares, video conferencing, and occasional photo and video edits. This M2 version of the Mac Mini meets and almost exceeds expectations performing in this environment. Everything is very fast and responsive. The few things that would let me give this computer a 5/5 would be: 16GB of RAM standard at this price point, better speakers (they're terrible!!), and more USB-C or USB ports in the rear or the front. Overall, this computer is fantastic.

    Great Product. Minor issues at startup

    It’s a great product, minor initial startup issues aside. All of the marketed features work (I.e. continuity cam via iPhone SE 2020 and Game Mode on Fullscreen), make sure to watch YouTube videos and experiment if all else fails. Currently using a Phillips 4K tv with their “Game Mode” (different from Mac’s Game mode) screen function to reduce lag/delay and it feels great.

    Everything Is Working So Far

    Has been working great so far. I just use it for checking e-mail, paying bills, and online shopping, nothing too processor-intensive. Got a littled worried when I first booted up because the video was all wonky, but I was using a 15-year-old monitor and the cheapest HDMI to DVI cable I could find, so I'm blaming them. Once it booted up all the way the video figured itself out and I haven't had any issues since. Setup was pretty painless, so it was pretty quick to get up and running.

    Great purchase. Love that it easily become portable. Strong little machine for sure. Only annoyance was during the setup when u didn’t realize i would need to plug In a keyboard or access the accessibility menu because there’s no way of connecting the Bluetooth keyboard right off the bat.

    Appears to work as advertised. Love having the link with iPad and iPhone with the Mac Mini. Using the Mac vs Windows takes some time to learn. Inexpensive option for a Mac Computer.

    I love how compact the desktop is. You can use it with any monitor and still get the Mac Functionality. I just wish it had more ports. But overall a great purchase.

    Great Computer with Nonupgradeable Memory and Stor

    This is my 2nd Mac Mini and my 1st with the "M" processor. It works flawlessly and handles all the needed tasks without a hitch. I don't do any video editing or any other processor intensive activities so 8gb of RAM is fine. I would have preferred 16gb but the cost to upgrade was too pricy. Apple continues to overcharge for memory and storage and have only made matters worse with the new Mini which have nonupgradeable memory and storage. I downgraded my review to 4-stars due to this issue. Otherwise, the computer is great and highly recommended.

    While you won't be running Parallels on this, due to only having 8GB of RAM, you can edit video, watch TV shows, and do most of the day to day stuff. It's also quite powerful for games designed for Apple Silicon. It boots up in just seconds. All in all great machine.
