Customers are saying

    I bought this Mac Mini to replace a Windows PC for my Mom. She had had it with the updates and most notably the updates that broke all USB connections.

    I really like the Mac Mini. It is user friendly and much faster than my PC. the price is good for new Mac users who don't want to invest $1000+ dollars for a computer.

    Because I went from a Dell System to a MAC it has taken some time to learn about all of the wonderful improvements which are found in MAC. Will never go back to Dell.

    I wanted to get a Mac to replace an old laptop, and the Mac mini was a great choice. I was able to use an existing monitor and it looks and performs great.

    This is a cost effective way to transition from PC. It's small and works well. A bit slower than I hoped for but it handles my excel, word, and Internet just fine.

    We purchased this for our living room mrdia center because the reviews stated the 4k output and performance was better for that use. We absolutely love it.

    Intro level macmini gives you everything old one from 2012 did. New thunderbolt ports and better graphics along with newest operating system makes this a good buy for $499.

    Since I received my first iPod many years ago I've found apple products just work. This product was no exception. Worked as it should right out of the box.

    Got the mac mini for the small size and ability to use it as an htpc hooked up to my Samsung 4K tv. Start up is a little slow because of a lack of SSD.

    I actually upgraded this Mac Mini with a 500 Gigabyte SSD drive. It was cheaper than buying the upgraded Apple version. And is now super fast. :-)

    I've been a Mac user for 15 years and find them to relatively problem free. This is our sixth product and it performed well the minute we plugged in.

    I have my Mac Mini connected to my TV and I love it. I love the processing speed. It takes seconds to boot up instead of like 5 mins for my PC.

    This MacMini is replacing an old MacBook that was used for recording videos using the EyeTV AV converter. The machine is much faster and highly reliable.

    Bought for work, it's technically 1/2 The computer (pc) that it replaced but processes PDF plans twice as fast, other programs are about equal.

    Absolutely horrible

    As a purchaser of many Apple products, I would give this computer a zero if it was an option. For the record, I have an apple mac mini server, have purchased seven apple laptops, more iphones than I can count, have several ipads so I am not a random apple hater. The latest quirk I discovered is when using a usb drive to transfer data, the wireless shuts off and the Bluetooth ceases to work. WTF!! This one is going right back to Apple, I'll use my 2006 era Apple iMac instead.

    Disappointing

    I'm a big Apple fan but truly dissappointed in the Apple Mac Mini. The biggest problem is that the drive is terribly slow even with an Intel Core i5 processor. I believe Apple users have become spoiled by the speed of SSD drives on our Apple MacBooks. Using the Mac Mini makes me feel like I'm using a computer from the early 1990's. Bad purchase decision on my part.
