    We've used a early 2012 Mac mini for years. We upgraded to this new version for the additional display ports. It is fast and flawless for our purposes.

    After stretching my last Mac mini for over eight years, this purchase was a welcome upgrade. I do miss having more hard drive space, but the performance has been more than adequate and I’ll soon be taking advantage of new items like Bluetooth. Great deal for the price I got!

    A little bit short on SSD capacity

    128 GB it is too little. I thought I could attach a 1 TB external drive for photos, documents, applications and other files that weren't used often or didn't need to be executed quickly. But the Mac OS expects all applications by default to be on the internal SSD and much of their support files as well. I did manage to offload about 40 GB of Dropbox files to the external drive, but overall I am finding it difficult to work with just 128 GB internal and make effective use of an external drive. Maybe a more Mac-savvy person could do better.

    I purchased this mini to add to my workstation so that I would have a machine that I could run pre-release OS' on. I don't like to run early releases on my production machine for the obvious reasons. This computer is almost as fast as my 2013 Mac Pro. The ports allow for as much storage expansion as I'd probably need. I wish they'd made this computer three years ago.

    I am using this as a video server. It serves up sometimes four or more streams at a time and has to convert them most of the time. We have had no hiccups whatsoever. It is a great computer. The new Mac Mini is much more powerful than any that have been out in years. They really watered these down from 2014 until now, and this is so much more capable than models over the last 5 years (I have had several and currently still have a 2014 model).

    Over the past few year's I have been back and forth between Windows and Mac. I have never been a big fan of all-in-one devices by Apple so I opted to try this Mini Mac instead of buying a new Mac Book Pro since I typically work off two monitors from home. The Mini Mac has been a great value, I love everything except the cost of the standard solid-state drive. I purchased a very nice 10 TB external drive but can't seem to connect it as the primary, this is my only issue this far. All the instructions online are leaving me a little disappointed. If you are a die-hard Apple fan, this is a great product.

    I was looking to get a dual monitor setup to help facilitate with class development and due to my laptop being older, was unable to do so. The Mac mini allowed me to do that with a very small footprint and the seemless integration with my MacBook Air is amazing. I can build a course at home, open my laptop at work and my work is there. Couldn't be happier.

    I got it for $719 (Matched the Amazon price). I hooked it up to a 27” 4K LG monitor and WOW. Very impressive unit. Very responsive. In my opinion more responsive and more bang for your buck than a IMac. I had an IMac and sold it, replacing it with this mini. I’d say it’s a much better option overall. I also bought a 7 USB “hub” made by Insignia to make all the connections. That way I have eight total USB connections on top of the HDMI which runs the 4K monitor. I’m VERY pleased with Best Buy (N Canton) and with my new iMac mini!!
