    Bought the Mac Mini on the recommendation of my genius grandson. I'd been using an HP low end laptop to process streaming TV subscription from overseas. Everytime Win updated I'd spend 30 minutes downloading and rebooting. With the Mac mini this torture has been removed.

    I've been an Avid Apple Customer and user for over 25 years. I work in the technology field and it never ceases to amaze me at the quality of the products that Apple puts out. I use all sorts of computers, but the value and performance the the Mini provides specifically the M1 chip is astounding.

    This Mac Mini has fulfilled my expectations. The most impressive feature is the ability to handle MIDI signals without any issues. This worked well with both GarageBand and Mainstage. Because of the SSD and ample amount of RAM, the Mac Mini does quite well with quickly loading apps as needed.

    Great product for its price. The best part is that it has the base MacBook Pro specs for a fraction of the price. The M1 chip is phenomenal, apps open up so fast its like using an iPhone/iPad performance on a desktop computer.

    Excellent Power Consumption

    Love this machine. One the things I focus on when buying PCs (mini PCs in particular) is power consumption and this thing barely sips power. At idle it consumes about 5W from the outlet and after running some benchmarks I've seen it move as high as 26W. But it mostly uses between 6-11W in typical operation. It's actually about half the power consumption of an Intel Nuc or Mini PC with a 15W TDP (I have a GIGABYTE BRIX with an Intel i5-8250U w/15W TDP) and that idles at 10-13W and boosts as high as 30-40W.

    I decided on the mac mini because I wasn't using my macbook outside of my home as often as I thought I would. I paired this mini with a large screen and I have zero regrets! Does everything I need it to do and more! Ordered it online and was ready in no time.

    Contrary to what people warned. This could easily power a 34 inch ultra wide Monitor, with no issues. I use a KVM switch to switch between pc and Mac mini. And it could handle multiple tabs 15 plus my IDEs with ease.

    Extremely quiet. An excellent introduction to the Mac ecosystem for those who only know the mobile devices. I cannot speak to specific performance gains from the new chips, but it is as peppy and responsive as advertised. I’m looking forward to it being a capable desktop system for years.

    Was considering buying the new IMac but Im very happy I decided to go for the Mac Mini! You do have to buy a monitor, keyboard and mouse separately but you can find some very good deals that will safe you money even if compared to the base model iMac

    This is my first Mac. I got it because I heard good things about the M1, and I was not disappointed. This thing DESTROYS my gaming PC! I had 4 4K videos rendering at the same time and the processor was only working at 40% capacity. My gaming PC began blogging down at 3. Amazing machine.

    After dealing with PC after PC that just did not perform like I wanted and after using Apple products for my phone, iPad, and TV I realized I needed to make Apple part of my computing world. Best decision ever! I bought this Mac Mini and it outperforms PC’s in its class by a ton.

    5/5 on the M1 Chip!

    For a first-generation M1 Chip it is pretty sick. I'd recommend this over any student, or creator. I use it for Logic, Final Cut Pro, and Photoshop. It has NEVER crashed on me or given me issues. Sucks you have to buy a keyboard and mouse separately.

    Outperforms my gaming computer for a fraction of the cost. I had originally purchased this Mac Mini to edit photo and video and it has blown away my expectations and I find myself using my windows CPU less and less.
