    A mini, barebone computer. Depending if the price, better to buy a full computer.

    Best Power for Price of Any Computer

    Absolutely pinches above it's class for power. As long as you just use modern apps this will absolutely fly. People complain about app incompatibility but I haven't run into any issues. Apps open instantly, and this exports videos faster than my 2017 iMac and 2019 16" MacBook Pro.

    The mini Mac works great. Only thing is that it only had 2 USB ports. Should have gotten the one with 4.

    Very compact unit will all the power and processor of a Mac at a bargain price. If you only need an awesome operating system and not all the options(keyboard, monitor etc, then this may be your ticket. Works for me.

    This is a Mac and it is indeed mini. It is currently hooked up to a small TV through the HDMI port, which means that sometimes it is difficult to get the TV to recognize that there is something there when it "wakes up" (a known issue). This could be easily remedied with the purchase of a proper monitor, but that would require the purchase of a proper monitor if you don't have one lying around.

    This is my second Mac Mini. The first one served me well for eight very demanding years and then died, although I was able to salvage virtually everything. The first one was fast, but this one is many times faster.

    My first Apple computer since the Apple IIGS! I'm into Windows and Android but at this price I wanted to try Apple again. Not disappointed! Just beginning to learn the system. Works super fast and having used Windows and Samsung Dex helps the learning curve.

    Been a windows OS user for long long time and brought this MAC Mini on a discounted deal! So far loving it! Initial hiccups in not being able to use shortcuts and UI experience, but slowly starting to like MAC OS for its integration and Multi Tasking

    I’ve been wanting a Mac mini for years, and I’m glad I waited. This little machine is very impressive. Super fast, and runs games without any problems, barely even gets warm to the touch. Big Bang for the buck. I’ve had less than a week and so far I love it.

    Had a 10 year old 27” mac that i already updated the keyboard and mouse a few years ago so all i needed was the Mac mini. Added it to a two monitor system and it works great.

    It is a great device. I enjoy how it effortlessly synced with all my Apple products. However, for what I need to do, it’s not powerful enough. The MacBook Pro is too expensive for my pockets at the moment, so I went back to PC for now.

    This was such a no-brainer purchase. I already had a nice 27 inch monitor, so I didn’t need a monitor or keyboard and mouse, so for $700 you have a Mac. As with all Macs, the integration between my phone, iPad and desktop was seamless.

    As with all Apple products, it just works. The M1 chip is a game changer when it comes to speed and performance. We bought 2 for our church tech needs and have been incredibly pleased.
