    The Mac mini is a tremendous value. I’m not put off by supplying my own peripherals. I’m a fan of my iPhone and my iPad and the Mac mini is an affordable way to remain in Apple’s ecosystem.

    Small and sleek but doesn't have enough ports for everything you will need it for without having disc drives

    I bought this for my family as our first Mac. I have a Macbook Pro that I use for work, so I wanted to share the pleasure of a non-windows PC with the family. They have not been disappointed! This machine runs quick and is very easy to setup. You can use it with a Thunderbolt Display, or just plug it up to your HDTV. I decided to go with the 8GB ram model and I am glad I did. If you are doing a lot with this Mac, I would recommend upgrading the RAM to 16GB. The 4GB model is probably a little annoying, the 8GB model works fine for regular family use that includes media playing and web browsing.

    I absolutely LOVE my Mac mini! I currently have it hooked up to a 51” tv and use it for my school work. It does the exact same things as any other Mac computer, it’s just a fraction of the price!

    I'm a huge apple fan, I love the simplicity of set up, use, and it just works. The only thing I wish was available was the upgraded machine that is available in the apple store, other than that and that I wish they would have had the unit in the store, this was a great purchase. Best buy customer service was excellent.

    Old windows machine crashed, and this was an economical replacement. Took longer to make the switch in my head than it did to connect and get it up and running. Love the ease of use.

    I'm coming to the conclusion that I overbuild my Macs for personal use. This was purchased for a home server to use for Cameras, Meda Sharing, and as a backup server. It outperforms anything I'd expect..

    I wanted to get a Mac Mini for a while so I didn’t have to keep using my laptop at home and on the road. This made it possible to one with me on the road and one already set up at home.

    This thing is amazing. How are apple packs so much computing power in this tiny tube is amazing. No legs easy set up. Very small footprint. Once again Apple has hit a homerun.

    I bought this Mac mini as my older Mac from 2007 can not be updated due to new technologies. It still works great and I have never had a problem with it. My new mini is even easier to use. I love it!!!!

    This is a great entry level Mac for those looking to make the switch from Windows. The savings from not having to purchase yearly subscriptions to anti-virus software alone makes this purchase a no-brainer.
