    This is my second Mac Mini - and after much trouble getting it to work with dual monitors it is really a great computer. The Mac Mini has a problem when you want to connect it to two monitors - it flickers and forgets which monitor is primary. The solution to this is to connect both monitors via DVI. The mini DVI to HDMI cords don't work with the computer - and are seriously not worth the trouble. Plus the computer has sound better than any monitor. So - great computer - get two monitors and connect via DVI and you won't be disappointed.

    The Mac Mini is a great computer if you don’t have the big bucks to spend on more expensive laptops. It’s fast and runs great and I look forward to using it for very long time. It’s definitely worth the money to get the upgrade to the mid-level model for $699. If you love Apple products and are looking for a new Mac you won’t regret buying this computer.

    I've been wanting to get an Apple computer, but wasn't sure to to a desktop or spend a lot more for a laptop. The things I didn't like about the laptop is that the HDD were so small like 128 GB, and I'm used to PCs at 1 TB. So I compromised, I got the mac mini, and I got 1 TB, and I can pack it up and take it with me if I want, and just plug it into a HDMI TV for display. Love it!

    As a former PC user I went in the market for a new computer, weighed my options for PC vs Mac, desktop vs laptop, and walked away with this gem at a fraction of the cost of a laptop. Hooked it up to my 40" flat screen and now it's the center piece to my man cave! :)

    Developing Windows and Android apps right now. First Apple computer I have owned after dozens of PCs. Some problems with the installation but Apple service was very helpful. Bought the Mini Mac when I did because of an excellent Best Buy sale.

    This computer is a good buy for those who use a lot of adobe products like I do. It works with ease and it still gives you all the great things that you experience with the Apple laptops and its for a great price compared to other Apple desktops.

    My 10 year old Dell with Vista died Jan. 2014. I strtuggled with two different computers using windows eight and hated every minute. When i returned the second one to Best Buy because of unsolvable problems, Bobby Morrison suggested I try the mini mac since I liked my I pad so much. Two weeks later I am proficient and a very happy camper.

    New Mac Mini

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This Mac Mini is my first new Apple Mac since 1997, and I purchased my first Mac in 1988. I have been making do with hand-me-down Macs and cheap laptops running Linux Ubuntu. Ubuntu is a wonderful open-source operating system that is far superior to Windows, but has a "few" limitations due to software availability. And yes one can work around this, but I really don't have the time or energy right now. So, I gathered together enough cash to purchase a little Mac. And I am very satisfied, as this is a nice, stable computer that will serve my needs for years to come.

    I've used Mac Minis for over 10 years and this is a great general use computer. It can handle a wide variety of tasks with little to no effort. I love the small footprint to power ratio. I've owned three and still have all three in use. I purchase new ones simply to upgrade not because they die. I highly recommend this computer for beginner to intermediate level user.

    So far I haven't had any problems with the Mac Mini. My only complaint is with the mouse. Not sure if it's the bluetooth capability in the Mac mini or what but it keeps lagging. I've tried numerous remedies and read many discussion boards online but still have the same problem. I switched back to my old mouse and it's better but still has some lag to it. I've read online that it could be a software problem. I even moved the mac mini in front of the mouse and moved all other blue tooth devices out of the way but still didn't fix the problem.....oh well....past the return date so I'll have to live with it....shame for the price that we paid!
