    Does the job but needs better hardware

    I bought this to learn iOS coding. It's a solid system, as with all Apple products, but the hardware specs could be better. It takes a long time to build and test iOS apps, so they should offer these with an i7 and more memory. It serves the purpose, but it could run faster. Still, I'd recommend it for a low-cost alternative to a MacBook.

    Problems

    This is the second mac mini I have owned. I had many problems with this particular unit. Took it to the Apple Store. They ran diagnostics, said nothing was wrong. Told me they would not exchange the unit because I bought it at Best Buy. Best Buy only covers the unit for 14 days. My problems got worse after the 14 days. I could have talked to the Apple rep at the BB store but chose not to. Even though Apple said nothing was wrong with the unit, I think they did something to it because it is running better. Very confusing. I probably would only buy Apple from the Apple Store unless Best Buy changes their 14 day policy. They really should offer a 90 day guarantee. You can't tell how the unit is really functioning unless you have used it awhile. Apple too should guarantee and stand behind a brand new unit no matter where you purchased it. If its a Lemon, Apple should replace the unit.
