I already had the other components from my pc but when the hard drive went I decided to switch to mac. The mac mini is a nice alternative if you already have a monitor, keyboard, speakers and mouse!

Great Starter Mac with limits

This is a great Mac Mini, but it does come with limits. This model does not have upgradable memory, and as I see it, it has the lowest amount of RAM that you should run in a Mac with Mac OS X 10.10. One solution is to run it with an external SSD as the boot drive as this speeds up the Memory swap space to speed up the computer if you use more than the included ram. You could also swap out the internal drive with a faster SSD, but that would void the warranty as this model does not have any user upgradable parts inside, and Apple voids the warranty if you open it.

I wish there were more gigs to the iMac Mini for the price. And, mostly it should include all the cords needed instead of being sold separately.

Can be used as a music instrument rig! Works great with Mainstage 3 and Garage Band. Uses bluetooth to connect speakers. On Yosemite, Quicktime offers video, screen and audio capture. IOS 8 allows Iphone 6 to capture video on your OSX.

This was a gift for someone that has never had a mac. This person loves the mac mini and can not put it down. This person loves the fact that it is not bulky and portable.
