    3rd Mac Mini

    This is our 3rd Mini and they are really great. The only issue I have it that when I look at "About This Mac" it says that its a 2014 model. Seems like it should be a 2018 regardless of when the last upgrade was made to the platform. I'm hoping it was manufactured a lot more recently than 2014. Otherwise great product...

    I was tired of dealing with my old non-upgradable Macbook with a faulty battery, so I decided to get a new Mac. The Mac Mini is the cheapest Mac you can find, but it still offers a decent processor, ram, and hard drive space. I can successfully run multiple Adobe CS applications at the same time, so I'm happy.

    I have an old apple thunderbolt 27" monitor and needed something to use with it other than my macbook that was getting older. The Mac mini was just what I was looking for.

    I connected this to my dell desktop and was very happy with the way it is doing. The brand by itself has its own style and apple kept it up again. I appreciate Best Buy for doing a price match as I found a cheaper deal elsewhere.

    I've had the Mac mini now for a month or so and for the most part works fine. Occasional lag when doing certain things but the main annoyance is the signal to the tv I use sometimes disconnects. Could be the tv however but I hear this is a problem with Mac minis

    Not the most advanced piece of hardware but I very much needed an upgrade from my old laptop to edit videos well. I had all the peripherals needed for this device so this was a great investment for me. Very practical for a simple user.

    Purchased this to use as a media server as well as file server in a full Mac ecosystem. Works perfect for my needs rather pushing streams local or around the country to my friends. Google Fiber helps with that too, but highly recommend!

    I had a 26" HD tv sitting around and by going with the Mac mini I saved money and it works great. I have totally given up on windows based computers. Th e apple products are more money but they last longer and are more user friendly.

    My husband had talked about getting this Mac Mini for awhile. I bought this as a gift and he is thrilled. He has the iMac, the MacBook Pro and now the Mac Mini. He loves all of his Apple tech and this was the perfect gift.

    As far as computer's go, this does it all. It's a nice, cheap option for that MAC product. If you already have a monitor, just get this and save yourself some money.

    The current Mac Mini has many improvements over the old model I had been using. Still, a lot of us Mini fans have been waiting a long time for Apple to update its product cycle with a higher capacity Mini.

    Too Slow

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I am a lover of Apple products but this Mac mini just can't do the job. The hard drive is just too slow. I thought with the 8gb of memeory it might compensate for the old technology hard disk but it was horrible. Just doing normal bouncing around from email to safari to whatever just had the drive running and running and running. Very annoying. I have two other Mac minis with ssd drives and they are awesome. It's a must. Stay away from the traditional hard drive models.
