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.

    Easy setup and easy upgrade to new OS. All my USB components: mouse, keyboard and printer easily installed. My HDMI monitor worked fine. In total, I couldn't be happier.

    I bought this because I am writing an iPhone app. I wanted to get a MacBook but this was cheaper and does the job. This was the cheapest and quickest mac I could find.

    This is the least expensive base level Mac. Works nicely for what it is. Was purchased for an elderly lady who just wanted access to email and simple games. If you want to do heavy duty gaming, video editing, or other resource-intensive processes, the next model up in the Mac Minis is where you should start looking as it has a much faster processor. This machine is good for basic computer uses and web surfing.

    I bought this Mac mini to replace a low end/everday use laptop that died on me. I browse the web, pay bills, watch youtube and have even edited home movies and photos on the Mac mini. It works like a champ. No it is not fast like the Mac Pros or other PCs but it is consistent, reliable and easy to use. That is what I needed and it doesn't disappoint.

    I bought this because I bought a GoPro Hero 5 and went on a vacation and when I came home both my tower PCs with decent specs couldn't handle processing 1080p footage so I bought this and it did it pretty well at base spec. It takes up virtually no room either and I can literally throw it in a bag and take it with me anywhere if I wanted. I am happy with it as a basic desktop computer.

    I went in to buy an all in one computer. Nathanael showed them to me and knew I was trying to stay within a certain budget. He went above and beyond to help me. He showed me an alternative option with the Mac mini that was a superior product then my original plan. He helped me choose the right components I needed to work with a monitor I already had at home. I spent a little more than I planned but went home with a better option than I thought I could get. Natanael is the reason I went back to best buy to purchase a 55" 4k smart tv. Nice knowledgable young man. Great asset to best buy

    I’ve wanted a Mac-mini for years. I had to return this one because the memory was to small and the processor seemed too slow. Gift for my daughter - she preferred my laptop. The bad news is I had to give up my laptop, but the good news is...I got a new laptop. If you’re interested, spend the extra $$$ and get one with more memory. You’ll be happy you did.

    The mac mini is small so it can be placed in a corner of the desk, it only needs the monitor and power plug since everything else is wireless. Very convenient

    This is well made as what I would have expected from Apple. Easy to set up and get started.its fast for average use. I would recommend getting a faster and more powerful model if you plan on doing extensive things on a regular basis. I just use it for normal internet use. The most extensive thing I do is watch videos which this serves its purpose just fine.
