Great transition from PC to Mac
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was very happy with my decision to purchase the Mac Mini for my transition from a PC to a Mac. I used my PC monitor and keyboard/mouse which saved me from having to by an Apple brand.

Easy setup and a great system for a basic user
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced my Dad's old iMac with this newer model. It was as easy to setup this time as before. He primarily uses his computer for web surfing and on=line card games, so the iMac is perfect for him. Just can't beat Apple and OS X.

Great Starter Mac
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have decided to learn to code IOS Apps and I have been reviewing the Mac Mini and it was perfect for the price point to get started with my new adventure. I would definitely upgrade to the faster one it made a world of difference.

A cheap Apple
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best way to have an Apple dest top computer, especially if you already own a good to very good monitor, or monitors as it has the capabilities for multi. All you need is a keyboard and mouse and you're set.

Bought for Photo Editing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this for Photo Editing and installed Adobe LightRoom. I was attempting to edit and post a recent photo shoot that I did and what should have taken me 30 minutes actually took me 90 minutes because every time that I tried to do anything, I wound up waiting on the computer to perform whatever I was trying to do. Everyone always says that Mac is the best for everything, especially graphic arts, but in this case, a more powerful Windows computer was the better choice. I was not able to purchase the most expensive version of this, but could not use this one either, so I sadly returned it for a refund.

Great Buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this mac mini on a college student budget, and was well please. Buying open box certainly helped too, and decreased the total price for a "new" mac mini by around a hundred bucks. IT was truly in an excellent condition.

Love!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am in love with my Apple Mac mini! It works great for browsing the internet!

Light Use Only
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the second Mac Mini I've owned and Apple did a huge disservice with this model by closing the case so you can't upgrade the RAM. OS X will use the built in 4GB on just basic tasks, at the very least you need 8GB and 16GB would be ideal. Only buy this computer if you are only doing very light web surfing and checking email. Anything more than that and you will quickly regret your decision as I did.

Great Apple Product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Having this little box work as a computer is excellent. Not only is it space saving, but you can convert any desktop computer screen into a Mac. Loved it so much my father-in-law bought one almost immediately after.

PC Convert
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been a PC person through and through, until I bought my latest Dell tower. Problems. Returned the tower for another. More problems. That's when I finally gave up and went Apple. WOW....I'm a true believer.

Great value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've always wanted a Mac and this was a great option for me as I won't be using it to do a ton of things. Really just wanted to get one to get a feel for the OS and learn how Macs run these days.

Older model Mac Mini but decent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Mac mini is decent for someone who isn't concerned about latency issues when opening programs, using photo/video editing software, etc. Fine for browsing the internet, using email, social media, etc.

Entry level price and performance
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for an intern to use while in my office. Intern didn't work out well and neither did this unit. Too slow and under powered for todays needs. Go with a different spec mini.

Big things in small packages
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second Mac mini. Bought my son one for a house warming gift. Great speed, great optics. Not too concerned about the memory because I have a 4TB external hard drive attached.

Great entry into the world of Mac
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this as an affordable way to own a Mac. Hooked up to my existing monitor mouse and keyboard. Took a little bit to open apps until hooked up an SSD drive externally now next to no waiting.

Perfect size for a deskop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i love not having to buy an entire apple computer with a monitor going forward. I'll just keep buying new mac minis and use my existing nice monitor. This is perfect for the desktop.

good to know
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The mini is HDMI compatible, and "easy" to set up, but it took several monitors to discover it requires VGA to hook to computer monitor, will not support computer monitor thru HDMI. I had to get a TV to go HDMI.
