great value, easy to use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Learning curve on getting used to navigating the IMAC vs our old PC. Processing speed is great as is the size of the memory. Since we have IPADs and IPhones this is a perfect fit

Great for iTunes
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Mac Mini is a great computer for streaming iTunes. It has enough storage for a large music and video library, and its small and compact size make it great for media centers. A small yet powerful desktop computer, it's a great addition to any home media setup.

pluses and minus on this upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was time to replace my circa 2010 mini, so off to check out the reviews on the new mini. Pluses and minuses........I wanted the pluses, and could live with the minuses......mainly I could not upgrade the now built-in memory. So, pay the $200 penalty and get the upgrade now. I was not happy about this, but few of the previous 2012 models were available, and they were priced up with the 2015 upgraded model. So, bite the bullet. So far, worth it. Now I can use Yosemite, and am prepared for the next upgrades of OSX. Have not put enough time on the new system tobe able to report on it's durability/functionality. Rest assured, if I have problems, I will re review my choice.

Nice, but not great.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is definitely a nice upgrade form my 2011 Mac Mini, and is fast in everyday, but the fact that this comes with a 5400 RPM hard drive is just crazy. Everything in this Mac Mini is a great upgrade to the device, but why put such a slow drive in it?! It runs great when on but on start up it takes soo long. I am looking into adding an SSD in a few months but Apple also made it super hard to upgrade this. No removable RAM, but 8 is more than enough for me, and having to take the whole Mac Mini apart just to upgrade the hard drive is just way too much! Again good purchase but definitely going to have to buy a new one in 4 years.

Mom Loves It
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this for my mothers Christmsa gift. She had previously an extremely odd PC that made all types of noises while using it. It was obviously time for an upgrade. Instead of replacing it with another PC I decided to check out the Macs because she just got an iPhone and I know the 2 are compatible. She loves being able to see her messages and calls right on her computer and it's so much faster than her old one. She plays all her facebook games and can take care of most her business. The only downside being some sites which we've come to learn just doesn't work on a Mac per the websites design so it's nothing we can do about that. I love the fact that she now has a Mac because I can use it for small video editing projects and don't have to worry too much about it slowing down.

The desktop replacement that's actually a desktop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Mac Mini is a great way to try Apple computers on for size. If you are an iPhone or iPad user this is a natural progression. Use the monitor, keyboard, printer and mouse you probably already have and simply plug these into the Mini's easily accessible ports. You'll enjoy the way it integrates your existing iPhone based contacts mail and messages. Add Microsoft Office (or simply use the Apple Pages, Numbers and Keynotes Aps which are included for free) and your Mac will play nice with all the Windows computers in your life. One weakness to the operating system is the file management system which takes some getting used to, but it's not serious enough concern to be a deal breaker. This is a great value for the money, you'll be able to scoff at the naysayers who claim Apple products are too expensive. I was looking for a laptop that would serve as a desktop replacement, but got the Mac Mini and a iPad Pro instead- for about the same price I would have paid for a Microsoft Surface Pro

Love it so far!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.1st Mac after years of buying PCs which would inevitably quit working w/in a year or two. I was trepidatious at first, as I know Macs are usually geared more toward “creative types”, but it works wonderfully in my law practice, much to my surprise! Since I’ve had an iPhone and iPad forever, I think there was less of a learning curve for me learning the Mac system than there would have been if I hadn’t had at least that experience. Overall, SUPER happy with the purchase so far!
