    Great machine; but I returned it reluctantly. Apple required me to buy all new software which was too costly. I had a lot of great software; but it was all unussble.

    It may be a base model, but it is a powerhouse of a small form factor desktop. It does exactly what I need it to do.

    Not so thrilled with Apple!

    This is the first Apple product I have bought. From what I have seen it does not meet the expectations I had from what I have been hearing about Apple for years. The basic computer is good. It is fast, boots up quickly and system software runs smoothly. For me the biggest problem is the software you can run on it. I use seven programs regularly on Window 10. Only one of these can run on this computer and the Apps available to do the same functions are far inferior to what I currently use. These include the Apple apps included with the Mac mini. If you are an Apple only user this can be a good computer for you but PC users may not be so thrilled. (This is a software problem you would have on any Apple computer not a hardware problem from the Mac mini.)

    Great product and compact size is excellent for mobility, only reason I am giving it a 3 is due to it not fulfilling my multi screen expectation... product is only limited to 2 screens.

    I purchased Apple Mac Mini instead of lab top. At the beginning, it’s not easy to use Mac system, but it’s more comfortable and convenient. I like it.

    I like it. Speaker aint to good but the fact it’s portable is great. I wish apple would let it play through the tv if you hook it up to it but it doesn’t. Otherwise I don’t regret it

    Go to an actual computer store

    First, I took my old desktop to geek squad and they said it was not fixable. It has an outdated program running it and some ports were not working. So now I am stuck with having to buy a computer. So I got the mini Mac. I got the protection plan for 99 dollars, bought a monitor and keyboard and mouse set. (I had help with this, but knew basically what computer I would need as I did my research). I got it home and set up. Since geek squad was gone for the day I had no help to learn a new computer going from Windows to apple. Plus I was unable to get geek squad to remove my files and switch them onto an external hard drive and into the new computer as they were not there for the day. (Mind you getting through and actually talking to a live person is impossible now with geek squad and best buy). So after hooking things up which is simple, I went to eat supper. Computer had of course gone into sleep mode. (It's expected), uh yeah. I moved the mouse around and got a snowy screen on the monitor that lasted maybe 5 second then black screen again. I did this again and the same. Called my brother in video chat as he has one and he suggested hitting the space bar.. nothing but the same. He asked me what keyboard I'm using. I showed him. Well I was sold the wrong keyboard. That's one. I had to manually shut down the computer and monitor and start over again. So after things finally settled. And because I can not drive for to medical reasons, it took me a month to return the keyboard. In the meantime, since you can not technically talk to a real person on best buy/geek squad, I took my old desktop to a computer shop with the external hard drive to have them remove my things I needed kept. Here is what they said.. My desktop is actually fixable. I just needed another hard drive put in which is a lot cheaper than the 1000 dollars I spent to buy a computer with the wrong keyboard set and one that has issues that I now have to get fixed. I've returned the keyboard set. They did a one time put money back on my debit card because I can't drive to get in there and live around an hour away. Thank you. But I umm also bought the extended warranty. Why would I want to buy the yearly repair package? Or get a credit card to pay to have a computer I bought from them that is only one month old and not working properly to be fixed? This store really does not have your back. Money money money. I'll be making some calls today. I think this computer is going back and I'm getting my money back! Especially since mine is able to be fixed!
