    Bought as a gift for my mom. It was extremely easy to set up compared to windows machines. She loves it and thinks it much better and easier to use than her old pc.

    This is a great device. It isn't just that it is economical, but it is more flexible in that you can get the components you want to go with it. I am surprised by it's power every time I use it.

    Bought as a basic computerto hook up to our TV for video watching. This works great and we've experienced FAR less troubles with this than we did while using a Windows PC as our media server.

    Love my new Mac Mini. It was an open box from here and works perfect so it was a bonus to have a brand new mac for a discounted price. Plus they gave me a warranty on if anything happens

    My desktop had given out for the 3rd time in over 10 years and did not want to go with another dell. I decided to try the mac mini while still using my own keyboards, monitor and it's great. easy easy easy to use and no complicated wires everywhere. My next computer purchase will be the Mac!

    We bought this computer for our son for school. We already have an iMac in the house and his school work was monopolizing the computer. As a family that is well embedded in the Apple ecosystem we of course wanted to get a Mac for him as well. The current iMacs however were a bit more than we wanted to spend on a second computer. We decided to take a chance on the Mac Mini and are we glad we did. Set up was absurdly easy and he was up and running in less than ten minutes. It comes with Pages, numbers and Keynote already installed (no additional charges or monthly subscriptions) which is almost completely compatible with the office programs. So far this has been a great investment and in a few years when it is time to replace our iMac we may look at the mini as a replacement.

    I originally purchased this item because I love my MacBook Pro and wanted to declutter my desk. While I love the size and the functionality, it is so SLOW. Granted this is an older model, but after having used other Mac products, I was under the impression that even this would be exceptional years after manufacturing. I was wrong. This model also does not allow for easy ram replacement, so it wasn't even worth buying new as you couldn't replace it without voiding the warranty.

    Perfect size and function, this is just what I needed to save space but yet still have the power of a big desktop. Apple products are the best in my opinion. No reason to buy updated software you always get the OS updates when necessary which makes this very convenient and a great purchase. There was a bit of a learning curve because I went from Windows to Apple but I already had several Apple products such as AppleTV iPad and iPhone. This synced up with everything and made home networking even easier.

    If all you need is a computer to browse the web and check emails, this is the best Mac you can get for the money. Any heavier work like adobe stuff would be best done on a more capable machine. All in all am very happy with it.

    I bought the Mac Mini for my two teenage boys to encourage them to explore the universe...to be curious and think big. This product has paid great dividends as they are using it in an inquisitive way. And of course it is especially valuable when they are doing their school homework.

    I needed a make an iOS app so thought I would invest in the cheapest make they make. This is powerful enough to program but the first time you spin up a simulation it takes forever. One bad thing is you cannot ad memory

    Since I have several other Apple devices, an iPad and 3 or 4 iPods I wanted to get more experience with the Apple OS. I have found it very intuitive fast and easy to use. It seems to have fewer technical glitches than the Windows environment. Definitely easier to use than Windows 8.

    Needed something reliable to replace old Dell system. Family all migrated to Mac several years ago. This was the last machine in the house to change. Can't beat the quality and reliability of a Mac. We love it.

    While this computer may be a little more expensive than other computers with similar RAM and storage, I've personally always wanted a mac and the mac mini did not disappoint. Doesn't do anything flashy, just works very well and does exactly want I need it to do.

    Worried about changing from Windows to Mac. Do it-easy enough even for a 69yr woman. So tiny compared to my 3.5 yr old crashed Dell.

    This is great for accessing and streaming a variety of apps, such as iTunes, Showtime, HBO, and Netflix. Not a huge fan of the remote and wish I would've waited a little longer for the voice-activated remote but other than that, I am very pleased with the Apple TV!

    The Mac Mini is ready to work right out of the box. if you have a monitor, apple keyboard & mouse you're ready to get started. This is an economical way to purchase an additional computer for your home. Since the Mac Mini is built small & portable it is easy to transport. I highly recommend the Mac Mini and it's easy to set up & use. I'm already a Apple household & I just got everything from the Apple Cloud. I also like Apple Care. I had a question & they where great & this comes with your purchase for 1 year. I plan to extend Apple care for an additional 3 years.

    I really enjoy it for the most part but I was disappointed to learn later about things which were not disclosed to me at the time of purchased such as; correct ram & memory, no CD/DVD compartment, no Garage Band program or lighted Apple logo like other Macs!
