    Bought my Mac Mini on sale. Easy set up, even using my own 27 inch monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Eight GB RAM and faster processor speed is worth paying extra. Runs quiet compared to my PC. So far, so good.

    It is great to have a Mac without the “Mac Proce”. Build everything you like, from monitor to mouse. Rather than having everything decided, you can choose what you want. It is awesome.

    My wife has been using Mac laptops for several years and decided to replace her PC with this Mac mini. She totally loves it and after working with it for a while, I'm getting one also.

    We had a monitor and keyboard so we went with the MAC mini over the full MAC all in one. Works well and has a small footprint. Just what we wanted.

    The Mac mini is great machine. I would suggest for customers that are thnking about purchasing one to configure it with a SSD drive; otherwise it will be too slow. The 5400 RPM drive just doesn't cut it.

    I had a nice, external monitor not being used so I decided to replace our aging Macbook Pro with a Mac Mini. It's been nice to free up desk space with the smaller footprint of the Mac Mini.

    I have a old IMac and wanted to update my system to new software. It works fine but wanted to use tv as monitor. I would have preferred fusion drive but didn't opt up. So far it works ok for now.

    I am an apple enthusiast. The only negative is you can't upgrade the memory in this Mac. I didn't realize it at the time of purchase. Never heard of memory being soldered in but there you have it.

    It was time to update my old computer. With the technology constantly changing I thought going with a component system would be protection in the future especially as I am retiring from a career in graphic design. This was a cheaper way to have a versatile up to date system. So far it is good.

    Worked fine out of the box. Gave 4 because i am not an apple fan. I had to buy this computer so that my family could sync their apple products because they will not sync with pc's. I find it annoying that apple does that. Works for intended purpose. Would recommend to apple device users.

    Does everything I need it to do. The price is right if you are looking for Apple OS but without paying too much. Using a 32 inch monitor and wireless keyboard and mouse, it works perfect.

    This new version has many new features but the RAM now comes attached to the board. I would recommend to get at least 8GB because this cannot be upgraded later on.

    This is replacing my old Mac mini that quit after 6 years of use. It is very similar except for the graphics, and a much newer OS. Does exactly what I use this small unit for.
