    This Mac Mini represents my first foray into the world of Mac computers. It has been a stable and fast performing item so far and I hope to use it for a backup system to have as I continue this learning experience. The price was reasonable and I have no misgivings so far.

    I purchased this product after watching all of the reviews and how good it was at rendering video. I have a custom built gaming PC and this is so much faster to render 4k video. If you are on the fence about getting this product don't be it is well worth the price.

    Had some start-up problems with Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse but Apple Support help resolve the problems. I had two Mac Mini's and they both have always worked well. That is why I bought another unit replace my older MacBook Air.

    The Mac Mini is an often-ignored juggernaut. The M1 iteration is lightning fast. The form factor is also great as it can easily be hidden while maintaining loads of connectivity options. It’s a true bargain!

    I’ve had an iPhone for several years, but have never owned a Mac prior to this purchase. The transition from PC to Mac has been so seamless and it’s really had me asking myself, why didn’t I do this sooner? I LOVE my computer!

    Amazing little unit. The M1 chip it’s amazing! 8gb of unified ram is great for most tasks. But I do audio video And found it lacking a little. I purchased an m1 max Mac studio and no issues with that option.

    I’ve owned Macs for many years and have always been happy with their performance but this latest version is a big jump into the future of computing. Super fast and it is great that you can run many of the iOS apps you have on your phone or tablet.

    This M1 chip is the real deal! This by far the fastest computer I have ever used. If you’re thinking about getting this, just pull the trigger. I use it for music production and processing and this is the best investment I’ve made in quite some time.

    Had to replace a 10year old dell desktop computer for my wife. The price was right and the performance more than I expected, so I bought a second one for myself. No regrets other than possibly getting the 500GB version.

    Perfect desktop for my small business!

    This thing is great! I am not sure why I would want to spend more money on a full iMac because this one works SO well! I purchased and Acer 23.8" monitor to go with it and they are working very nicely together. Even with the two purchases, I still paid less for this computer than I did for my Macbook Air. And it's so nice to have a desktop computer with a large screen again. I've been using laptops for so long now, I forgot how much I missed the big screen. I use it in the office of my small business. Now I don't have to bring my Macbook back and forth from home to office (and vice versa) all the time. So glad Apple has this option for those of that love Macs, but don't want to spend an arm and a leg.

    Bought to edit videos on. With only 8 gigs of ram it can get a little laggy sometimes, but aside from that it’s still a pretty good editing machine for only $700. Also, with such a small hard drive, you really should get an external hard drive.

    The M1 Mac mini blows other computers at this price point out of the water in its capability and performance. It seems to be cooled really well and stays extremely quiet even under higher loads. Greatly impressed.
