    This little thing is amazing. Obviously you need to purchase a monitor, mouse, and keyboard separate, but I already had those things. It's fast, good looking, and has great software (pages, numbers, keynote) preloaded.

    I have used Apple products since 1992, and I have had some clunkers (most notably in the late 90s) and many great computers. The Mac Mini is a great little computer, designed it to be inconspicuous, and provide the formants for your every day computing needs. It is not intended to be a power user's computer, but provides adequate graphics, processing, and storage capacity for most typical computing needs that I have. Price is right, the quality is exceptional as always.

    After 3.5 years my first MacMini bit the dust. I think it didn't like Yosemite....too much dust? Anyway, I replaced it as I had the wireless keyboard and mouse and a wonderful 22" Samsung monitor. It's good to be back.

    A great, compact desktop computer.

    The Mac Mini gives you the same Apple desktop computer experience as other models. The downside is you only get core computer. No monitor, keyboard, mouse, or even optical disc drive. The brighter side? The Mini has an HDMI output so it can be hooked up to any display with and HDMI input, such as an HDTV. In the end, the Mini is a more affordable alternative for someone who wants an Apple computer but may not wish to spend the larger amounts of money on models such as an iMac.

    It's small and fast. Setup was easy however I ended up needing a displayport to VGA adapter and the port was surprisingly firm. It worked though.

    I have a Windows 8 all-in-one touchscreen....that now serves as my monitor for this MacMini. Even though the hard drive is only 5400 rpm there is no lag in any of the tasks that used to take forever on my Windows PC.

    The Mac mini is an excellent option if you are looking for a powerful machine with a small footprint. It also gives you more peripheral options because it does not have a built in screen. I highly recommend it.

    Quiet, Powerful, Compact, and Fast....I Love It ! I was excited to set this Mini Mac up after I updated my wife to an IMAC 27" recently. Once you begin to understand how a MAC works over Windows there is really no comparison for a work station. Apple really hit a home run with the Mac Mini.... I can run 60 Tabs with two different browsers managing spreadsheets, graphics, and dual displays to handle and organize everything I require to make the most out of my work day.

    This was the perfect answer to be able to buy an affordable new Mac computer for my husband who works on videos, websites, audios and more for his job. He loves that it is also portable where he can have a monitor in different locations, but then can take the computer, keyboard and mouse in a small bag to work at different locations. It was a great answer for our needs.
