Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the Mac mini's ease of use, compact size, and overall performance as significant advantages. The price point and compatibility with other Apple devices are also appreciated. However, some customers express concerns about the limited and non-upgradeable RAM, as well as the hard drive's capacity and speed.

    Better than most Laptops within this price range. Must have a monitor(I've got two) mouse and keyboard or ready to buy these items. Apple Mouse and Keyboard are sweet too!

    This is my second Mac Mini. They are perfect for merging computer and TV. They easily share the TV as a monitor. They Mini is economically priced -- and let's remember this is an Apple computer. The Mini comes complete with free Apple software: Numbers, iMovie and Garage Band are particularly good.

    Great Transition to Apple

    My wife and I didn't want to shell out $1000 to upgrade to a new iMac, so we settled on the Mac Mini (which allows you to use non-Apple products like the mouse and keyboard). There are definitely some things that get lost in translation - like using a Windows' keyboard for a Mac OS: it just doesn't translate perfectly. But overall, we're very, very pleased with our purchase and are likely to continue buying Mac Minis instead of the overprice iMac systems that are out there. I recommend this to anyone trying to transition to Apple products.

    I love the ease of use and stability. I use it to connect to my big screen and webcam for zoom meetings and conferences. 2 complaints are its not possible to enlarge the font size, that I can find anyway. This is a problem when standing 15+ feet away during a meeting. The other is I get annoyed having to connect it to my personal iCloud account then all my texts and emails showing up as alerts on it while trying to host meetings.

    Great for basic computing, Internet, e-mail, photos, videos. A lot of reviewers online, tell you to avoid because of upgradability. It does what it is design to do. If you want a high powered do it all, then this is not the one. This was a B-day gift to my wife so she can learn Mac, since we now have all apple stuff. She loves it, and it takes up hardly any desk space, and the cat can lay next to it.

    I purchased an Apple - Mac mini - Intel Core i5 (1.4GHz) - 4GB Memory - 500GB Hard Drive for our business. I am always happy when I purchase Apple products. I also bought it from a Best Buy in St. Louis, MO and was very happy with the service I received. I did know what I wanted and didn't have many questions but the few that I did, the associate was knowledgeable and very friendly.

    I love my mac mini! I am not a power user and i don't play games that I will need to have the best graphics for, and I don't use software like photoshop that I need tons of processing power for. I am fine with the 500GB and 4GB of RAM and I recommend this for anyone on a budget and still wants a mac.
