    Love the ease of set up and use. Taking a while to learn some of the new things with the OS. Had an older computer so there are a lot of changes since I skipped several OS. Otherwise, just like all my Macs. Quality, intuitive and so fast!

    Best Price For a MAC

    I recommended this computer for my mother who was having problems with her old PC, Viruses, malware, etc. When the power supply finally died, we got the MAC Mini and she couldn't be happier. After a small learning curve, she wouldn't go back to Windows. We were able to use all the peripherals from the old computer and just plugged them in to the new one. I would recommend getting an HDMI monitor instead of using an adapter with a VGA monitor since this has caused some problems with the monitor going blank occasionally. She has to unplug the monitor from the computer, then plug it back in for the screen to reappear. Other than that, there have been no other issues.

    This is just an amazing product. I could be happier. There is the potential of issue down the road since this model's RAM is soldered and not upgradable, but for the time being I'm thrilled.

    I purchased this to replace a Windows tower. Windows 8 has a terrible interface if you don't have a touchscreen monitor or tablet, it is difficult to find programs. I am an avid Mac/Apple product user and this product meets the same high standards of their other products.

    I updated my HP that I mainly used for bills for this unit and I am so happy I did. The unit handles many tasks with ease and does not skip a beat! for the common user not interested in upgrades this is the perfect unit.

    I've used mostly workstations or higher-grade computers. I bought this to develop iOS applications on for my home office. It doesn't work well with the IDE because it doesn't quite have enough RAM to get the job done. This, with a little bit of extra RAM, wouldn't make a bad developing machine though.

    Tired of trying to use windows 8 and now 10. Microsoft can't seem to execute a fully fuctional product these days. Their system updates are ridiculous and full of problems. Mac Mini a nice alternative. Good price and everything you would expect from a Mac.

    Wanted to make a leap to Apple without going into debit for something I wasn't sure I would like. Great product for getting familiar with Apple products. Runs smooth. It takes time getting use to certain features but overall have enjoyed experience.

    This is my first experience with a Mac mini. I've had a Core i5 MacBook Air with 4 GB memory that booted much faster then this. Maybe its the spinning platter drive instead of the SSD that makes the big difference, but opening apps, files, and especially booting up is a real drag. I'd consider swapping out the drive for an SSD if I could figure out how to open the thing up. It's seamless! The build quality, complement of ports are all very adequate, and loaded with OSX Sierra with it's array of standard apps make it very usable right out of the box...once it finally boots up. Well, I did pick the cheapest version available, so you get what you pay for.

    After trying to get two old windows PCs to run minecraft, I gave up and bought this for the kids. We already had two iMacs and wanted the kids to have a Mac too. This is a great way for them to have a Mac at a much cheaper price. We live how all of the apple products (macs, iPhones and iPads) all work together.

    Love the Mac mini for when a small sized computer is needed. Capable of high function at a minimal price compared to the larger size Mac computers. A good investment!
