    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 It has an outdated program running it and some ports were not working.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!

    As far as it being an apple product it is absolutely great! Only drawback is that iOS doesn’t always support certain programs I would like to use.

    Not bad. Considering this is the first apple M1 Chip rolled out, I am impressed. No issued with video rendering, image uploads, or anything.

    Works great, mostly really fast. I have noticed a few times where it takes longer opening the internet than it should. It has also crashed or froze 5 times in a month since I got the mac for no reason.

    The Mac mini is a good little computer. If you store your data in iCloud, your mini will only download what it can hold and no more.
