    Simple but powerful at a reasonable price

    The Apple Mac Mini is a very powerful computer at a very reasonable price. If you have a monitor and don't really care to spend your money on the very elegant display on the iMac this is a great alterative. And the small footprint is still hard for me to believe. It's small enough to pack in a case and take on a trip and use a TV in hotel room or condo if I want. And if course, as with all Apple products - high quality and easy to use. They just at work! I left the Windows world years ago due to continuous crashes and fights with viruses and trojans trashing my PC. I've never regretted paying a little more for Apple products because there are no more fusses with software or hardware problems. I highly recommend the Mac Mini.

    What can I say, its a Mac! I've got plenty of HDD space, memory, and ports to connect my peripherals. I left Windows behind a while ago, and I'm not going back. I've got a Macbook, iPad, iPad Pro, and now the Mini, can't wait for the 5th gen Apple TV to come!

    Super quiet and a huge space saver as opposed to the traditional towers I'm used to. Used PC'S for the last 25 years, so this is a new learning curve for me to switch to a Mac. So far, more than pleased.

    Using this for viewing 4K movies on TV

    I was looking for a solid solution for viewing 4K movies on my Samsung 4K TV. The Mac Mini works perfect for this. It has enough horse power for all my 4K movies. The HDMI output allows me to connect directly to the TV. I'm using the Plex Media server software to maintain my library of movies.

    My pc died on me after many years of abuse and I decided to take the plunge into the Mac world. I didn't want to spend the price for a desktop and planned on keeping it hooked to my TV. This thing is amazingly fast and does everything I wanted it to do.

    Great little computer, and offers pretty good value for the cost. This offers an affordable way to run OSX, and offers a very good Windows 10 experience. Using this for school, and have had a very good experience so far with this, it works very well.

    My PC started slowing down due to constant upgrades from MS. The computer repair guy was very blunt in saying that PCs are slowing down due to above reason regardless of how much you pay and how fast is your processor. Also I was constantly getting malware in the form of attachments from hacked emails. This Mac mini once installed, has been working FAST and flawlessly. I got a great deal as BB matched the price of a competetor, but also took $$ off from their own site for my past purchases. I am a very happy camper. No more bloat ware or malware.

    New to Mac? This is an awesome introduction! It is priced competitively with Windows PCs in its class but hey, it's a Mac. The Mini is very stable, software is reasonable and it operates flawlessly. If you're an experienced user, just make sure it's right for your application. It has dual head video built in, but our application requires 3 discrete video outs. I added the third with a USB digital video out. It operates flawlessly, runs full motion video on all (3) outputs with undetectable latency, simultaneously outputs pristine audio and basically is perfect for use as a presentation computer. It wouldn't be top choice for a video editing suite or multi-track audio recorder, but it will perform those tasks as well. As I mentioned, know your needs and intended software and buy accordingly. This one does exactly what it's supposed to - and does it flawlessly!

    The mac mini is a relatively cheap computer for what it can do. I needed a mac operating system and this was by far the easiest way to get it. It is also pretty easy to travel with when I need to take it with me to a different work location.

    I love my mac mini. I have been a avid mac user for years at work because I draft/design, and was skeptical about the mini but I'm so glad I chose this one. It is a great home computer plus I can design and have all the space I need for home work.

    This was a replacement for my 5 year old Mac mini that never stopped working...I was just ready for an upgrade to speed and performance. This latest version did not disappoint. Set up was done in minutes and it has worked flawlessly since I first turned it on. Very pleased with my new Mac mini and the speed and ease of use is unreal. Highly recommend this for anyone that just wants a simple, easy to use computer.

    I use it to récord Music using pro logic X, it works better than my macbook pro, just sometimes needs to be restarted to keep working fine, but it support the software very well, and its great that you can plug it directly to Any hdmi tv

    Bought this Mac Mini and a monitor for less than the cost of an iMac. The mini has a faster processor and a larger hard drive than the iMac. I know I'm missing out of the retina display on the iMac but it was worth saving > $200 to me.

    For my first Mac Computer is excellent. Fast, reliable and hardly any wait times. The only downside and i dont care about it so much is that it does not have a CD/DVD drive. But who needs one when everything else is hooked up to the TV.

    I got this Mac mini and combined it with a USB monitor, a mini Bluetooth keyboard, and a USB mouse to create a pseudo-laptop. It’s a much better value than a Macbook, and you get 1 TB of storage. Perfect!
