    There has been a transition period for my wife - switching from PC to Mac but she has done well and has been very happy with her new Mac Mini. I have had to help her with some setup and my interactions have been positive (but not positive enough to swap my Alienware for a Mac).

    I love it so far. I am still learning. This is my first Mac. I have it installed on my 1080 TV and the pictures are beautiful. I think it's going to be a lot of fun. I purchased it to work on my photos. I look at life through a lense. So I have a zillion pics.

    I waited 2 years for the new mini mac to be released . Bought it the day after it came out and it was worth waiting for. Still have to get used the new OS, which "appearance"I don't like, but works smoothly though..

    Never thought of this when I bought the product. That with the connections that it has you can move it to any screen around the house including the TV or take it on the road. The only thing that I wish it had was a Blu-ray player built in.

    Purchasing this mac mini along with a decent monitor and logitech apple keyboard and mice is a great way to get a mac for cheap. While you do lose out on screen quality dollar for dollar as the standard iMac resolution is greater than 1080p, with the money saved you can get a larger monitor than the 21.5 without having to make the huge jump in price to get a 27" iMac

    We had an old Mac mini from 2009 and finally needed to get a new one as it didn't support newer programs. But an 8 year run isn't bad. It's why I love Apple products and this Mac mini is just as dependable with all new bells and whistles. LOVE it!

    I moved away from the Apple brands -- this is my step back and I am SO happy to be back. Quick and easy interface and the mini allows for me to have flexibility in monitor and use. Quick set up -- less than 5 minutes - and I was surfing the Internet.

    Like all the features just wish windows programs came preloaded and there was already a wall to have window on the computer too. It takes a lot of reading and effort to install window and a wall. A DVD drive would would be a nice feature included.

    I have a 6 year old Mac Mini and has run out of room, not to mention the fact that it can't be updated. Apple has a good reputation for quality and I've owned one since 1991. I buy all my Apple products at Best Buy, which includes iPod Touches for our granddaughters.

    Purchased in 2015 for a tech-intensive grad program and it's still working flawlessly 4 years later. Upgraded the old mechanical HDD to a Samsung SSD last year and now my reliable workhorse has a bit of zip!

    It has been years since i have had a desktop computer but this makes it really easy to do. Its a great set up for a home office, there is no optical drive so it can be stored discretely. I like that it has Bluetooth and wireless. I feel like it could be smaller which might happen in next couple of generations. Its a good supplement if you have a tablet.

    Bought this as a refurbished unit and when I first powered it up it wouldn't boot. This is my first Apple computer, so I had to look online to find out what the behavior meant and how to recover. After re-installing the OS (built-in feature), everything has worked fine. The upgrade to Mojave also went smoothly.

    Obviously the Mac Mini isn't going to outperform higher end computers. But, it's still a pretty powerful little device. Plenty of hard drive space, and decent processor, it will give us several more years of good work in our office.
