    I currently own about six Mac computers and I purchased the Mac Mini because I thought it would be a great addition to use as a permanent desktop however if you were going to get this computer spend the extra money and get the added beneficial features (I.e. more ram and eatery solid-state or a fusion drive ). I purchased this particular one with this particular specs and it was slow, it could not handle multiple programs at the same time and I ended up returning it because during the restoration process from my old Mac desktop to this one it froze and not even a hard reset would work… I would not recommend getting this… I am not saying I hate the Mac Mini I am saying I hate this particular one with its particular specs… you can take the risk but Mark my words you will be disappointed

    I bought this computer hoping it would replace my 2006 Mac Mini, but I was negatively surprised that my new i5 is really slow. Still I cannot figure out why it is acting like that. Besides it hangs up snd stalls like a 486 SX would in the distant past!!! I wonder if it has memory problems!!!!!

    Really you buy this computer for the operating system and basic use. For the cost, I think Apple should lower the msrp for this machine. It's old, it's slow and a PC at the same price will blow it out of the water so really you're just paying for the operating system here

    8GB MacMini Good But 16GB MacMini BETTER

    The 8GB Memory is SLOW. I purchased a 16GB Mac mini directly from Apple Store as Bestbuy does not sell 16GB. I highly recommend anyone going with at 16GB otherwise your computer will spin/lag forever.

    Outstanding Mac value!

    In need of a new computer to replace a 4 year old Windows 7 laptop and wanting to try a Mac, I researched the Mac line heavily. Mac's are known for being a bit pricey. Because of this, I had my doubts as to just how good a $679 Mac would be. I am a heavy Photoshop & Lightroom user. Knowing I needed a machine that could handle these programs I was a bit sceptical about this machine. Let me tell you, my fears were unfounded! This Mac fly's! The 2.6ghz i5 & 1tb HD handle everything I toss at it with ease. Much faster than my old Windows machines. Ad to it the fact that it is small & quite are big plus. It may be little and inexpensive, but its a lot of Mac!
