    Good enough computer

    This was my first Mac computer so without any real experience outside of windows I wanted to try the Apple experience. due to the fact that I am mostly a Windows user, I did not really enjoy using the Mac. The operating system is a good system it has a lot to offer and it is very good. But I found it has a learning curve that I could not get over not to mention the fact that this is way overpriced for what you are being offered. I decided to return it because I think I'm more of a Windows guy but to be honest this is a very good computer if you are a Mac user. Just be ready to pay a premium for the Apple logo.

    This meets my needs, Runs Mojave Great! This is a great little Mac and I love the small form factor. Apple has managed to pack a lot of power into a small package which stays cool and is whisper quite! If I need more graphics power eGPU options are numerous! Love it! I am a long time Windows user (still am) but for most day to day tasks I always go for one of my Macs vs Windows. LOVE it!

    Great upgrade for the Mini

    After a long awaited refresh, the new mini is here, and I’m glad I bought it. I had my keyboard and trackpad from an earlier Mac Mini, so I was ready to go with my dual 27” monitors. Buyer beware this is not a gaming machine, however. But you can now use the thunderbolt 3 connectors to attach an egpu and turn it into one. Very happy with my experience so far.

    A great little computer

    The thing to remember with the 2018 Mac Mini is that the memory is upgradeable (expert-level upgrade, though), and external drives (SSD and HDD) are viable options with TB3/USB-C. So, in that way, the base models of the Mac Mini are a good value (when viewed within the Apple ecosystem), especially the Core i5 model. I have two and I'm using them to power VTC and entertainment on a couple TVs. For that use case, no need for upgrade (they can run that easily). If you're planning to use them as a desktop computer (and have a monitor, mouse, keyboard already), they're great computers for running Office, web browsing, videos, etc. You can also upgrade them to be powerful workstations since you can add on pretty much anything except a faster CPU (more memory, external drives, external video card, etc), though you might look at an iMac if you're look for some power.

    I have always wanted a Mac but had been out of reach or not practical the mini is just right. Enough ports for expansion. MacOS is well worth the extra and yes I do also run windows 10 on it. If you have other Apple devices it can’t be beat.

    I purchased one of the early models of the Mac Mini which is a great value in the Mac lineup. This one is like the Pro version at that time. Super fast processing, great display graphics hardware and a plethora of connections. This is now the central hub to my home media network. Great value.

    I bought this as a replacement for my 2012 Mac mini and this does not disappoint. It's really fast on boot up and comes packed with enough ram and SSD space for most users. I was blown away that I could unlock my Mini now just enabling the option and wearing my Apple Watch. I highly recommend this.

    Replaced my 2012 Mac Mini with the new 2018 version. Performance with the SSD is much better. Moved the user files to an external drive which also improved performance. Updates to the Mac OS over the years were also taxing the processing speed of my 2012 model.

    My mom went through 3-4 pc’s in the last 5 years. I helped her buy this apple mini almost 2 years ago and she loves it! Zero problems, no crashing, no freezing, and very fast! If you’re on the edge just do it, apple is far superior.

    This is our second Apple MacMini. This one is the best ever in processing speed and extra features. It’s so easy to pack and carry with us from home to home. If you’ve ever wanted to take your desktop computer with you when you travel, this is the way to go!

    Typical Apple product, in that it is very intuitive and provides for a seamless set-up. Was using a MacBook Pro for my everyday computer, but needed a more permanent set up. This computer supports two monitors, and makes for an efficient set-up

    Much improvement over our 2014 model. We are using this to drive our live stream for our church. We use Wirecast and have 2 cameras using the black magic mini capture cards via Thunderbolt and two Canon cameras. Great improvement for our Facebook live.

    I bought close to the entry level Mac Mini to be used as a media server. This device can handle much much more than what i use it for. The looks and build quality are second to none and the performance is great. Highly recommend.

    Everything about this device is high quality. It is powerful with a small footprint so it doesn't take up much desk real estate. Plenty of outlets on the back. Easily paired with NAS so it joined my network and was up and running instantly.
