    I had a Apple Computer that I spent around $2500 on and I wanted a bigger screen for less cost then the entire computer system. After doing a little research I came across the system and it was really nice because it was compatible with a flat screen TV that I already had. You can have the whole Apple experience for under $700.

    Apple Mac Mini

    It's an Apple product. You can't go wrong. Technology changes so we upgraded but the old Mac mini (about seven years old) just need the hard drive replaced and it's as good as it was seven years ago. Now the kids have a dedicated Mac mini and the wife is upgraded to the newer mini.

    As a computer it deserves 5 stars. As a purchase it deserves none. This was an open-box purchase. When received it was DOA. As the Apple Store was closer than the Best Buy store, I took it to the former. Fortunately, Apple service is superb and FREE. They discovered that the hard drive had been reformatted and had NO OPERATING SYSTEM. Not only had the box been opened but the computer had been used! Apple installed OS X without charge, and I was on my way. The lesson: beware of open box items. Best Buy gave me a $40 credit for my trouble.

    I haven't had the mac very long and I am reading up on tips to use it because I was a pc person. It connected very easily though and I have been able to get on line and navigate that usage. There is a learning curve and I'm working thru that right now but so far so good. The price was great.

    This is an excellent way to upgrade your computer without the expense of the complete unit. The Mac Mini works so well with out desktop TV plus we get excellent sound quality. Such a great change from our 10 year old Mac desktop computer! Love the speed and quality of performance!

    Mac Minis make for good small business servers with OS X Server. We often buy 2 and run one as a stand-by (cloned nightly) for nearly instant fallback in case of hardware problems.
