    Really easy to set up And very user friendly. Still exploring the features and functionality but overall very pleased with the MAc Mini. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is not tech savvy. I am now sold on Apple. I own an IPhone and iPad and everything transferred automatically from pictures to application I use and favorite web sites.

    I had a mac mini that was going on 10 years old and was slowing down. I thought about other options, but decided to upgrade to a new mac mini. It's fat and small and works with all the periferals I already have, so I didn't have to replace everything. The newer model doesn't have a dvd drive, but buying that was a relatively small additional expense. If you like macs, this is in my mind the way to go.

    Love Love Love my new MiniMac. It's pretty user friendly and that's all I wanted - plug and play. Don't have to deal with virus and warnings that I didn't know what to do with. I'm not the techiest person and it feels really great that I have multiple resources at my finger tips. I would have preferred that it have a CD/DVD player because every once in a while my husband and I watch and listen to them. So I went ahead and purchased one (also by Apple) for @ $79. They both are Great space savers.

    I purchased this mac mini to enhance my entertainment options and augment my computing experience. It is a nice machine with plenty of power and speed. It is especially great for watching online sports and downloading music files. It takes up so little space in my small living space, there is nothing else to compare it to!

    The Mac mini makes a great work computer. I run dual 20" Dell monitors on it. OS X interfaces with my iPhone and iPad very nicely and in a way that Windows simply can't do. The computer itself is quite powerful and can run many application at once with ease. The only draw-back is that Word Perfect is a Windows-only application and necessary in the practice of law, so I had to install Parallels and Windows 7 to run that one program. But all of the other pluses more than make up for that negative.

    This was my first Mac. I bought it for my wife because I was tired of all the configuring, tinkering, resetting, rebooting, etc from her Windows machine. Any Mac would do that, but this little box was the perfect choice- simple to set up, compact yet powerful, and versatile. Great purchase!

    We enjoy having the computer in the family room so we can all watch videos, movies, access social accounts. It makes it convenient to all family members. Easy setup and we downloaded the latest software updates overnight after purchasing it. Ever since, we are extremely satisfied with our purchase. Sales staff was very knowledgeable and answered our questions and addressed any concerns.

    I love the speed of this computer and how mobile it can be! I can take my computer anywhere easily! It's just like a laptop in ease of mobility, yet the specs would outbeat most other computers in comparison but at a fraction of the price, especially compared to any of the other Apple computers!

    I have had several Mac minis in the past, and this one is just as solid as the others. I do wish that they came with a solid state drive, still offered a quad core option and replaceable ram, but it is still fast and a solid purchase. A similarly spec 'd Windows machine will cost similar, but will be 4 times the size and be worth next to nothing after purchasing. Even if you want Windows, just buy this bad boy and use bootcamp or parallels.
