Mac Mini was incompatible with screen and camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Mac mini would not load operating system. Logitec camera and screen were not compatible. Stressful period trying to work with Logitec and Apple to get it working. Returned all items and bought an hp laptop.

Great product for a music server.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am using this unit to control my digital music collection & it works very well. I use it with a large TV a a monitor & use the Magic Mouse & keyboard for input. My only reason for not giving this product a 5 star rating is because this design does not allow me to upgrade the memory. Apple requires me to buy the next model up to get more memory even though I don't need the larger hard drive or faster processor. The earlier models that did allow customization, are no longer supported by Apple & may not work with the latest Mac OS.

Good choice for home server
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Mac mini specifically to utilize as a home server. My only regret is that it does not come with a SSD drive. The included HD is a bit slow. Other than that, this is a great computer to use as a home server. I have connected a couple of external drives to it to increase the total space available and have copied all of my files to those drives. I'm now able to access any of my files (music, movies, etc.) from all of my other devices no matter where I'm at. This is definitely a computer you should consider if you are looking to setup a home server.

2nd Mac in my house
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am using this with my TV in my living room to listen to music and watch movies online. Hook it up with wireless kb/mouse and you are good to go. the only bad thing is a little slower than my retina iMac which is a lot more expensive than this mac mini.

Good Inexpensive Mac Solution
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted a mac and already had a nice 27" screen. So this is perfect to house all my photos, music and movies as well as use as a home computer. I do notice it is a little sluggish and if I upgrade anything sooner than later, it will to a SSD drive.

Great product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my Mac mini. Its small & convenient. I purchased this because I wanted a desktop Mac but didn't want to pay the high price. I got the Mac mini with a different monitor and I'm satisfied.

No speed demon, but a solid performer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this Mac Mini to replace a five year old Mini whose hard drive was failing. Programs load much faster now, and while it won't break any speed records, it has all the speed I need for Lightroom and Photoshop, both of which are processor-intensive. Lots of storage space on the 1 TB internal drive. I'm happy with my purchase decision.

Why doesn't everyone have one?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I know that for most of us, a computer is a daily use tool, mostly reserved for browser use and some photo and music applications. But the fact that you can have the fullness of the Mac experience for such an affordable and compact package really make me wonder why more people don't take advantage of this. I already owned the Chromebox from Google and a very nice monitor, so the ability to seamlessly switch between the two on the same screen makes this purchase a no-brainer. You'll never want for speed or picture clarity, and it looks minimalistic and beautiful on my desk.

Easy iMac = mac mini
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Mac mini is lightweight, easy to hook up, and gives you the same power of an iMac. It's more stable and powerful than a laptop, but has the same portability if you have a monitor in you most used places (i.e. home and work). I never have to worry about what computer I have stored documents or work in progress - everything is in one place.
