    Updated Mac Mini. Only issue is that HDMI is not the primary display and will not be detected at reboot until the HDMI cable is unplugged and plugged back in while the mac is powered on. This is a known issue in the latest OS Firmware. Get a thunderbolt adapter for your display.

    So this is one of the fastest Macs available and the value behind it is great. But I had so many issues with boot-up and waking up the computer that I had to return it (twice) just wish they were more reliable.

    Upgrade from 2014 Mac mini with duo core I-5 and 5400 rpm drive. New Mac is quick as a bunny rabbit with new Gen 8 I=5 6core processor and SSD . Only wish came standard with a bit bigger SSD for same price. But if you use Apple iCloud you can optimize storage by moving some to cloud-Was great upgrade!

    Had several apps and programs for cameras that said they were compatible with my PC settings, hardware, etc. After purchasing this machine all my video and audio editing suddenly became an ease even while learning the subtle nuances of a Mac interface. Mac Mini i5 user

    If you are looking for a simple solution to adding a Mac to your life and don't want to spend as much money on a iMac, the Mac mini is a perfect solution! The small footprint is great for any work environment. With the Mac mini, you can also add whatever size screen you want, even a massive 80"!

    Bought this Mac Mini, configured exactly as I wanted. Price was great, product works perfectly (so far) and am very satisfied. Pick up at the Best Buy store was a breeze. It was ready and waiting within a couple of hours of purchase. Great experience....Best Buy.

    The most versatile Mac out there. I’ve owned one of the older gen Mac Minis, as well as many other Macs over the years. I use this for huge Photoshop files and it performs well. Better than the iMac options as you can choose your own higher quality monitor(s).

    The Mac mini from Best Buy is pre-configured with large enough Solid State Drive to meet my needs. It has proven to be an excellent machine that meets or exceeds anything I require of it. I am so glad that Best Buy stocks this configuration in their stores.

    I had an older (or last model) mac mini that brike about a year ago. So I waited for Apple to introduce or make a newer version, which is what I bought. With the 4 USB-c/Thunderbolt ports, it moves files very quickly. So far I have no complaints/

    This is a great product. However, the reason for the 4 stars instead of a 5 stars rating is due to at some point, there is an intermittent connection when connected to Wifi. I am only able to notice this when playing videos on the internet. So far I haven't notice this again, but during that time it was frequent I almost return this item

    I bought this certified refurbished. This purchase went quite smoothly. It arrived on time. The package had some dents and was a little dirty, but the product itself was clean and not damaged in any way. Setup was a breeze.

    Upgraded from my 2013 27" all I one Quad Core, to this 6 Core Beast. Not the Best model, but a deffinet upgrade. Solid State is fast and this thing moves. To all of you older Mac user's, looking for an upgrade, its worth the money.

    Still getting use to the Mac mini. I had an iMac, but so far everything has been great. I love macs when it comes to connecting to peripherals (i.e. printers, external drives, etc.). So easy. My only complaint so far is the size of the SSD drive. 256GB is not a lot. But I have a 2TB external that is now become my storage drive, so I think I'm good.

    Combined this Mac mini with a Drobo 5C for in house media center. Works great all around the house, power consumption is not extreme, all Mac products can easily download and play media stored on the Drobo via iTunes.

    So I wanted to get a entire Apple Mac but I decided to go with a Mac mini instead and buy the screen from another company and it’s perfect! It’s great option for you if you want to make your own desktop!
