    New M1 chip makes all of the Apple software perform like a Mac Pro. Looking forward to 3rd party developers to update their software and make their programs more compatible.

    A workhorse computer with really cool form factor and using Apple's awesome M1 technology. Extraordinarily fast for a Mac Mini given the new chipset.

    Mac Mini M1 Works with Late 2009 27" iMac

    Easy to set up, easy to use and works very well with my late 2009 iMac 27" as a monitor. Also, it supports the use of a second monitor (LG) which comes in handy. It doesn't have any real drawbacks that I have noticed yet.

    Excellent device at the budget. Only problem is you need to have a wired mouse and keyboard to start this boy up and then can use any third party device. Apple makes life difficult

    3rd Mac. Fits on a shelf out of the way. Can travel and hook to any monitor. Only downside is only 2 USB ports so pick up an expansion bar. Has tiny speaker.

    Arrived without MAC OS!

    THE ONE STAR IS FOR CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE - NOT THE PRODUCT I picked up an "open-box excellent" from BestBuy recently and was extremely disappointed when I booted it up and found out that it did not have Mac OS installed... After googling around for a bit, I found that there is a bug with the M1 chips that basically cause it to fail when someone tries to reinstall Mac OS on it (i guess some users like reinstalling a clean OS). I assume that the previous owner of my device tried to reinstall the OS, ran into the issue, and then proceeded to return the item to BestBuy. Luckily, I had a roommate with a Macbook and we were able to restore the Mac through an app on his device. Not quite the unboxing experience I was hoping for, for a ~$700 device. The Mac Mini M1 itself is great, but this is a cautionary tale to those who are planning to purchase it open-box. It seems that Bestbuy does not check to make sure that the item is fully functional before selling it to other customers. Tldr; I received a Mac with no OS installed - had to use a friend's Macbook to restore the device.

    These new Mac Minis with the M1 chip are really fast. The only con which will get better with time is the compatibility of some software that was developed for the old chipset.

    Works great. Surprised with the performance of M1. It’s not i9 but it’s still impressive. Apples have a very nice feature to act as a server for apple updates of your apple devices.

    I needed to upgrade my Apple computer to something more up to date. Since I work from home with two monitor set up, I decided it was more economical to go with this Mac mini and boy am I glad I did.
