Best computer for the money. Mac takes a min to get adjusted to if you’re a new user. But it really runs amazingly strong and without issue.

Picked this up as an alternative to pulling the trigger on a iMac. I ordered 32Gb ram to replace the stock 8gb and it has had no hangups whatsoever.

Couldn't afford the new iMacs and decided to go the MacMini route. If you have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc. this is the way to go. If you do not have monitor, etc. it ends up being about the same price as an iMac. Satisfied with performance.

Definite upgrade from the last version

The 2018 version of the Mac Mini is a definite upgrade over the previous version. Response time and processing is lightning fast. The only thing to note is that the font clarity on a 1080 monitor is not that great, with some letters looking a bit fuzzy. On a 4k monitor, everything looks great!

I love this computer and think i can get several years out of it. The apple launch said the RAM is user upgradable, which is a nice perk.

I really like this simple setup. The Mac mini just works and does any thing I can throw at it. I’m not a gamer so don’t need it for that.

I'm very pleased with the new Mac Mini. I can use my old Thunderbolt display, with a converter, and the speed is phenomenal. Thanks.

MacMini takes up less space, is portable especially when traveling, and works like a charm for most things. It is a little slow rendering video or sharing but that might be our internet speed or lack there of.

I was not sure of this to replace her IMAC after using the anemic 2012 Mini but it seems they learned a lesson and built a solid machine for lower $$ and allow use of already owned peripherals like her mouse ball
