    Super Powered Machine

    This is a super powered machine. Blown away by the processing prowess of this beast. It out performs the current (2020) model iMacs in many aspects (see Linus Tech for review), and for general browsing / art creative programs. The only downside is the lack of USB ports, which has frustrated my wife (gift for), but it is a "mini" after all. Overall, well done! I can't wait to see what the future holds for the M1 (2, 3...4) chips.

    Recently switched to Apple/Mac totally. Started home system with a 2018 mini, and it worked great but started overheating. I bought this to replace it. It outdoes the 2018 model. The m1 chip is fast and efficient.

    Running Ableton, Reason, and Protools effortlessly! Connected to a Samsung AM702 4K monitor and it looks great! I bought a USB 3.0 hub and this is able to use all my inputs with ease. Connected a 5TB SSD and I’m good to go!

    This M1 model is so much better than the intel models from a year prior. I have two intels and both have finicky issues but the M1 cruises. I’m a believer in Apple Silicon. My only complaint is they eliminated ports, which was irritating

    Extremely happy with this purchase! Apple has definitely stepped up their game when it come to lots of power in a small enclosure. The crew a Best Buy we’re great and knowledgeable to, helped me out making the right choice.

    Very impressed with the M1 chip and the unified memory configuration. 8GB is sufficient for most basic desktop users. Probably the best price-to-performance ratio to date fir an Apple desktop.

    Another great purchase for me. Replacing my 2012 Mac mini that was starting to run slower. M1 Chip seems to be very fast. This will be used for daily office accounting with some photo editing and CAD work.

    8gb is not really enough space. Also not very many USB ports and everything is in the back which makes it difficult to plug in etc, I purchased a front load and set it on top of the Apple Mini more plug in options. It is a powerful computer but the set up is annoying!

    M1 chip makes this computer great at pretty much anything, plays Sims 4 at highest level without a hiccup. And without producing really any heat at all. Only downside is only 2 USB-C ports and no regular USB ports.

    This was my first MAC computer. I've connected this to my smart tv and couldn't be happier. It's amazingly fast and very responsive. It's so small that you hardly notice it with all my other TV equipment. Highly recommend!

    Extremely Fast Mac in a small case. Runs super cool and blows the doors off the 2011 iMac I replaced. M1 chip is amazing. Most software works and more will be updated over time.
