    You want a Mac for cheap get this one, a decent 27" monitor for $150 and a keyboard/mouse for $20. Boom you have a Mac for $800 about the same as an iMac 20 that runs $1200. You want a second monitor you can do that too easily. No brainer

    So far, I've found this to be an easy transition form Windows to the Apple format. I'm pleased my son already had one to demonstrate how it works, icons, etc. And with the external USB cable, bringing memory from Windows to Apple was a breeze.

    Purchased as a replacement for an old PC used primarily by my kids for homework. I would highly recommend this for the users looking to switch over from PC to Apple or the casual home users. Great price and you can't go wrong with this device

    Bought this to view photos from our wedding trip on tv. Always wanted a macbook but not the price. It runs very well. I bring it with me when I travel and hook up to hotel tv. Even tried WoW on it and it ran very well surprisingly.

    Purchased the mini to replace an older pc. So far I have been pleased with the performance. Easy transition from pc to mac. Help by my familiarity with the iPad. Would recommend this item.

    I tried setting a service up with a small windows box - ran into the standard windows issues. Small things just didn't work. I finally just gave up, took the box back and purchased a mac mini. Works flawlessly and has been running for weeks.

    Apple Computer - Always the Best

    I purchased my first computer in 1983, which I believe was the 2nd year for the Apple IIe double disk drive. I was an administrator in an independent school district, and could take disks home to continue work at night. I still today believe Apple has the best computer made. At one time I had the large Power Mac tower; it was much too large for me to handle and the blowers inside made it quite noisy. I changed to the Mac Mini, and it proved to be perfect for my needs. Small & compact but with the efficiency Apple products provide. That computer was still serving my needs well, but after 9 years I decided it is time to upgrade to a faster processor and more storage. This new Mac Mini filled those needs; it truly is the world’s most powerful desktop.

    Easy to install and start using. I'm not that computer savvy when it comes to windows updates and firewalls. So the mini mac was perfect for me. It's also nice to sync my phone to my computer. I'd definitely recommend this product.

    good experience with open box item

    The mac mini's been out a long time and there are plenty of reviews here. I'll limit my comments to the fact that I specifically was looking for an open box mac mini. The online BestBuy shopping cart helped me identify the single store (of the 3 in my area) that had an open box mac mini. I could not get an online chat rep to get to me so I drove to the store. I wanted to be sure of the difference between open box (meaning returned within the 15 day post purchase period) and a refurbished item. The rep answered that question I.e., refurbished means broken and repaired for resale. Of the two open box items, the rep was willing to cut open the resealed boxes to let me take a look. One had many scratches on the top. I one I bought looks new. I'm happy so far (2 days in ) with the purchase. The rep reminded me that I have 15 to return or exchange with no restocking fee. THis is good because I was looking at the imac as well, so I've got options,

    I was in need of a new computer & this does everything I need it to do. Everything is so much easier to do on a Mac vs a PC & this is my first Mac. I was tired of replacing PC's due to them dying after only about 3 years of use so I decided to give Mac a try. So far I love it.
