    My third Mac mini! My loyalty is to quality for the money and the Mac mini M1 will keep my coming back. All this computer in a 7 X 7 inch square case makes this a must have if you value function over appearance. And, my desktop is all mine!

    Great box. Replaced a Dell CPU and reused the monitor, mouse, & keyboard. Only issue is that the keyboard doesn't have the Apple-specific keys, but the Mac mini helps you map the keys so it is easy to use.

    Considering this was an open box item under the satisfactory rating it has performed exceptionally since purchase, and actually looked new. The only snag is that I could not purchase the item with a warranty because it was a satisfactory rated item, though I could not add the warranty at the store, I was able to do it online, which took me a little time but eventually got it done.

    Four stars because I’m not really a big computer geek. But as far as using this machine for what I bought it for, it works great. I bought it to edit 4K videos from my DJI Mavic 2 Pro. It is solid as far as performance and running the processor demanding Davinci Resolve program. From what I’ve been told, is hard on intel products with comparable power. It was a great buy for a “hobbyist” like myself.

    As with most Apple products, build quality is great. The system itself performs amazingly. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a Mac desktop solution.

    I love my Mac m1 mini. I have a 2018 MacBook pro and this mini is faster. Im surprised it beats my MacBook considering it is only the base m1. Way to go apple. Also bestbuy customer service was great with the store pick up option.

    Purchased as an open-box item. Computer was cleaned, booted up right away and worked fine. I, however, was not too impressed with the speed (compared to Intel core i7 machine I use at work). BUt I was not doing heavy video editing. Ended up returning it due to the lack of ports available for this version of Mac mini.

    I love this computer! it is extremely fast and haven't had any problems using my go-to programs, only having two thunderbolt ports isn't a major problem to me. 8gb of the new unified ram has actually exceeded my expectations.

    This is a good option for a computer but there are a few little things it could do better. For starters, more USB ports would be nice with one or two on the front for ease of use. Also, some apps don’t display like they should. Not sure if it’s a mobile app to desktop thing. But otherwise I have been happy with this Mini Mac.

    The Mac Mini with M1 chip is a lot of awesome in a small package. Keep in mind that you will need a monitor, keyboard and mouse to pair with it before you get to work.

    Huge Apple fan, and the Mac Mini with M1 does not disappoint. My only regret is not getting double the memory (16gb instead of 8). No issues with 8, but more memory is always better in my experience.

    The very best computer you can buy under 1k. This is my second one for my home and have one that powers my church's live stream. The M1 chips are powerful and there is nothing you can't throw at this little beast.

    This is replacing my wife's 9-year-old Mac mini. That one was taking 5 minutes to load a web page and all night to download and install updates. This one fairly flies.

    This is my second Mac Mini. The first was from late 2014. This unit is extremely fast. I’m not the smartest when it comes to technology. Thank goodness I didn’t need an engineering degree to set it up.

    I purchased this iMac to replace my 8 yr old 21" iMac. Since this iMac is much newer I saw a huge difference in performance immediately . The footprint is much smaller. I have experienced issues with wi-fi. Sometimes after the computer goes into sleep mode and I open a new internet window, wifi struggles to open a new site or window. I returned this for more built in memory.

    This thing is blazingly fast and handles all of my video and picture editing tasks flawlessly. It actually outdoes my upgraded 2012 Mac Pro. It meets it's hype quite well.
