    This is the perfect companion to a large TV. More powerful than web-enabled TV, more convenient than hunching over a tablet -- all from the comfort of our couch! If only we could download food-over-IP!

    All my relatives have MACs, so I bought one. Found out too late that all my insurance programs will not work on the MAC operating system. I added Parallels, and am able to stay in business.

    These are good computers, but can be slow due to limited memory. And no option to upgrade memory on my own.

    Apple does a great job. This mini is a little faster than the cheaper one. I bought on sale for $670. I don't use for video editing. For normal use and light photos and video this should be good.

    I Love my mac mini and how it help me edit my videos for youtube. I like how small it is, but also powerful enough to perform the task I need it to do. I wish it had an i7 instead of an i5 processor. Over all the best cpu I have had just find it to be more complicated to use compared to a pc.

    Does exactly what you expect it to with better than good performance. If you are looking for a high performance gaming machine then this is not your computer. If you are looking for a solid machine with very little in the way of issues then this is the machine for you.

    Always been a PC person. No more. This Apple desktop mini is great. Very fast, brilliant colors and excellent apps. Pick up a open box item and saved even more. Still has the same warranty.

    If you are just looking for a desktop for typical day to day tasks, maybe even some heavier duty work, this machine works out just great. Easy to hide, silent, just an all around great computer.

    Since I already had a monitor, keyboard and mouse(all windows based) and since I don't have the need for a laptop. My wife and son talked me into this machine. Apple gave the word processor, spreadsheet and visual presentation programs with the machine.(pages, numbers and keynote). It has lots of other programs too. The photo editing and iMovie are nice and easy to learn. The machine is fast and has some big storage space. It has Siri.(I use my headphones from an old I Phone) . Being only familiar with the I phone this was very very easy to learn. I especially like when you import photos it somehow arranges them by date taken.

    Great computer, works well and at a discounted price is still worth it - has plenty of power for what it is. Consider taking it to a repair center and replacing the HD with an SSD.

    This units are the most cost effective Macs and probably most versatile too. You can connect them to a monitor or tv screen. They are small enough to fit in a cabinet or on a shelf.
