    After 2 months of use, I'm pleasantly surprised at how fast this is. The only issues are still that a lot of the apps I'm using (Adobe specifically) are still in Beta so there are several instances of crashing going on but it has been a game changer with how quickly apps start up and the connectivity. The space it saves on my desk as well is a major plus.

    This computer packs a punch and is great for taking on the go if you have a monitor elsewhere. I bought it to replace my 10 year old macbook pro and what a huge upgrade it was.

    Loving it so far!! I have always been a PC user with windows or linux and thought I would try the Mac Mini with the Apple silicon. Definitely glad I did! It just works. No problems, headaches, or frustrations. It does take some getting use to when you are not familiar with the Apple OS but if you have an ipad or iphone you can pick up most things pretty quickly. It's quiet and performs great. When you are use to a large pc with many components to get high performance, it is hard to believe what you can get and achieve in such a small package!

    Possibly the best computer purchase I’ve made in the past 20 years. Lightning fast (faster than PC’s 3 times as much money), compact, and Mac OS. It’s perfect!!!

    You have read many reviews about this Mac and they are mostly true. This is hands down the best bang for buck desktop money can buy. Especially if you are part of the Apple ecosystem.

    Great performance and an excellent value. Even more so given it provides the full Apple TV functionality. Option for wired Ethernet provides much higher data rate than WiFi can.

    Using it as a mini server. Great. Although the stickers on the box looks dirty, it is an open box product, and only the product matters. This mac mini is in great condition.

    Left MacOS about two years ago as my Macs were all quite old and wanted to dip my toes back into the Windows world. Decided to hop back into the MacOS and give the M1 chip a spin. Don’t regret it in the slightest. Performance is great, even in apps that use Rosetta. Drives my twin 4k monitors nicely. And at the Best Buy sale price, it was an absolute bargain. If I were nitpicking, I’d say it’d be nice if it came with keyboard and mouse, but that’s not a real issue, since I had them already. And get a pair of speakers, because the internal speaker is pretty disappointing.

    I love the machine, and I can see in a year it being absolutely amazing. Right now it has a fair bit of bugs. Too much SSD usage, flickering, and freezing. The performance is amazing, but it will hopefully get better. However the value is unbeatable.

    Lightning fast compared to my 2018 Intel Mac mini. Still has Bluetooth bug as sometimes my keyboard doesn't register key presses until I disconnect and reconnect. 8GB is enough memory for everyday use. I haven't done any heavy video editing to put it to the test. None M1 apps work well with Rosetta 2.
