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.

    Hard to set up the wifi--had to look up on YouTube to properly set it up. Besides that, works great!

    This is a beautifully made unit, and a real space saver: it takes up much less room than the usual tower computer. It functions very well, and is able to handle normal computing tasks. My only criticism is that the USB ports are on the back, and there aren't many of them.

    Bought to replace my parents 7 year old Mac mini. It is functionally the same, although a lot of their old familiar software is no longer compatible. That is the only complaint I can lodge. Otherwise a fine piece of computer. It runs fast, beautifully and has plenty of storage

    My wife’s 2008 MacBook Pro finally succumbed to modern Computer OS woes so we headed out to Best Buy to find an affordable Apple computer. This Mac mini was probably the most affordable option available at the time, but it is the model where the RAM is non-upgradeable. “Luckily” it was the model that had a spinning platter hard drive which meant that it was upgradeable. Which we immediately did with an SSD drive. Apple is and has moved to a fixed / non upgradeable parts type configuration which is sad. This particular computer is fine for my wife’s use but will most likely not last as long as her 2008 Mac did due to it limited upgrade ability.

    I have owned a Mac mini for years. My daughter's computer gave up the ghost. I bought her a mini as well. Amazing the improvements over just a few years. This one rocks. Bought it the day after Thanksgiving and was in and out of the store in 10 minutes by pre-ordering!

    Long-time Mac owner and user here, but this is my first Mac Mini. I've owned a variety of Mac Pros, iMacs and laptops over the years, but this is by far the most sluggish thing from Apple I've ever seen. I literally have a better and more responsive experience from my Titanium Powerbook. I'm not sure where the lag is coming from, and I've even tried booting from an external SSD, but it's basically unusable, except, perhaps for the most basic of things. I'm going to return this and try the next model up, which has more memory and fast processor, but this machine is an embarrassment.

    I really like this Mac mini. It is fast and has plenty of storage for my needs. I really like the integration with our other Apple products. This is a very good option when you only have an occasional need for a desktop computer and you have Apple devices.

    I waited years to go from Windows to Mac even though I was an avid iPhone and iPad user...setup was a breeze as with all Apple products. Love the Mac mini so far, easy to use and now all my apple devices connect through the Mac. No more Windows for me ever again!
