    Mac mini is mini in size, but delivered what I need in memory and speed. Is portable enough to go with me on trips.

    I got the Mac Mini specifically for using with Avid Pro Tools and it works great! Fast and stable and couldn't be easier to set up!

    Great computer for the price. Is able to handle all of my tasks, namely school work with xcel spreadsheets while also multitasking with my textbook on half the screen. Awesome for beginners as well.

    I love this little computer! This is my first Mac and so far I'm loving it. I wish I could upgrade some of the componenets but, overall, it's fast, small, quiet and I'm really liking Mac OS X compared to Windows 7 or 8.

    MAC Exceeds Expectations

    Very pleased with my new Mini MAC after years of Windows machines. The user interface with Yosemite is different from Windows but better. Also, no more annoying Windows updates. The Best Buy rep. suggested that I buy the trackpad rather than typical mouse. I'm really pleased with the trackpad choice. I also like the Numbers and Pages apps. that are included and replace Excel and Word.

    Best small form factor computer you can buy

    The Mac Mini is the best small form factor computer you can buy. Between it's small size, energy efficiency, and the rock solid Mac OS, you really can't go wrong. I highly recommend the upgraded version with the faster processor, more RAM, and bigger hard drive. The RAM is easy enough to upgrade from the starter version, but the HD would be a pain. Pretty much no matter what you're looking to do, this little machine can do it.

    I came from a windows format and was very hesitant to jump to the Mac but I couldn’t be happier. I bought the office 360 suite and it works just like on windows which was my biggest concern. I didn’t want to be messed up if I needed to write a resume or something. I also like that it is affordable. You can pick a monitor that you like and it connects seamlessly. It also takes hardly any desk space and it is quiet.

    im obviously glad that I went for the 8gb and 2.6 processor, but its not lightening by any means. It was a serviceable computer for a few years, but the outdated features make this a paper weight most days. I wouldn't recommend this for anything powerful, but maybe some light adobe work (definitely not 4k anything) or light GarageBand. If it doesn't need to be Mac you could do better elsewhere.

    I've had a mac-mini for about 7 years now and as of late, I've been unable to keep up with the new software. Got this latest version and even though it comes without cd/dvd drive, I love the way it performs. With the built in wi-fi I can now connect to my new wireless mouse, keyboard, and printer and it opens up usb ports, which it seems I always need. By the way I purchased a LG M DISC CD/DVD PLAYER ;MODEL # GE24NU40. I had read a number of reviews and this one was reasonable priced. It works exceptionally well and most of time was burning discs faster than the instructions said it would. I'm not a heavy gamer but for watching videos or surfing, etc. it is all you can ask for.

    My 2nd Mac mini so I knew about the product. Love the additional RAM and memory in this version. Have made it my primary and moved the old one to the guest sitting room.

    This is an Apple Mac mini. It is small, quiet and powerful. I am very pleased with this unit. I also have a huge Apple Mac Pro. (Late 2009) and this new mini keeps ups with that one, really well, it even feels a little faster!

    I've purchased a few of these for both personal and office use. Easy to setup, use, maintain and upgrade. Plenty of power for the office user. I you are heavy into video editing or publication production this will get you buy, but for those application I would suggest the MacPro. Everything else this machine is great. However, I would recommend maxing out the RAM at purchase. You will end up doing it later anyway.

    All the power of a desktop tower in a single, cool and quiet, all aluminum box. That's right! The Mac Mini does not have a large and noisy power supply. Apple's technologically advanced and highly efficient desktop is totally enclosed with no need for a fan. Setup is fast and easy, and iOS is as intuitive as ever. Good bye PC!
