    My intention to get a mini mac was to set a Home studio and record my musics. I still think it was the best deal. I recommend for those who are looking for the same thing.

    Changing to a mac based system from a Microsoft system is somewhat of a learning curve after 30 years with different modes of operation . Mac assistance is great to relieve this .

    This Mac mini is a great little machine. It's a shame that this is the last of the upgradable ones. The newer models are not easily upgraded. I'm glad I have it!

    Bought this for my wife after her PC laptop died. Mine works very well and after a month hers does as well. Couldn't afford the iMac so had to settle for this and no regrets

    Works great, very small and takes up a small amount of space. It starts up immediately and there are no crashes or stalls.

    We bought our second Mac Mini because you can't beat the value for this computer. The speed is great and the storage capacity is what makes this machine hard to pass up.

    Not my first and not my last Mac Mini. I got this older model so that I can continue to use older software which won't be usable on newer Macs.

    Mac Desktop w/Great specs @ a fair price

    The specs on this mac, and the street price, are equal to or better than what i could build my own PC for. I love how compact and silent it is. I can see why it uses so little power. I needed this for an office in a closet. I mounted it flat against the wall. It works just as well as my Macbook pro. I had no trouble at all setting it up. All the connections have been plug and play. I hooked it up to an Asus monitor via HDMI. The only "concern" is that when it wakes from sleep, the signal takes a few seconds to stabilize.

    We needed to replace our 11 year old IMac, and were told about the Mac Mini, which we had never heard of. We absolutely love it. Great buy for the money.
