    The best option to go Mac

    Hooked this up with 2 monitors and a third party USB hub with included external SSD and all worked perfectly. I have been a Windows user and this is my first time using a Mac. A bit of a learning curve but it's worth it.

    love the Mac mini. Very responsive and compact. Most people can't believe its actually a computer because of the design. Love that I can take my workspace with me anywhere where there is a simple monster hookup. interfaces great with iPad and iphone

    M1 lives up to the hype! As fast if not faster than my 2019 MacBook Pro 15.4 with an i9 and 16gb ram. Stays cool and quiet even under heavier load tasks. Runs a 32” 4K monitor (have tried via TB3 and HDMI) with ease. Great machine for a good price.

    Fast cool computer, no Target Display Mode

    Overall very happy with this machine. However, I wish I would have known upfront that the M1 no longer supports Target Display Mode (TDM). I had bought an expensive adapter and cable to use my old iMac as the display. Even Apple support was not initially aware of that: they stepped me through the process to connect via TDM, before admitting that the M1 is not capable of that.

    Its a great machine and great DESKTOP substitute for the Laptops but I wish I had purchased more ram and more storage. You can't do a lot of things at the same time like a work horse but for light browsing and the occasional social media this is more than enough.

    MAC MINI is LEGIT!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Wow, the Mac Mini M1 is like that friend who's always down for anything cool you wanna do. Seriously, this little powerhouse has become my sidekick in crime for everything from creative work to late-night Netflix binges. First off, the speed. It's insane. Editing photos in Photoshop used to be an exercise in patience, but now it's a lightning-fast blur. Renders that used to take hours? Done in minutes. And video editing? Forget it, Final Cut Pro sings on this thing. I swear, I've never seen a computer be so quiet while handling such heavy lifting. It's like it's laughing at the workload. But it's not just about raw power. The M1 chip works some kind of magic on battery life. I can go all day unplugged without even breaking a sweat. And speaking of sweat, the whole thing stays whisper-cool, even when I'm pushing it hard. Then there's the design. It's like a miniature spaceship landed on my desk. Sleek, compact, and just begging to be customized with accessories (although, honestly, it looks pretty darn good naked too). Plus, the lack of fans means no more annoying hum – just pure, focused silence. Of course, it's not perfect. The limited ports can be a bit of a hassle sometimes, and I swear I spend half my life hunting down dongles. But honestly, even that feels kind of charming, like a little quirk of our quirky little computer buddy. Overall, the Mac Mini M1 is more than just a computer. It's a game-changer, a productivity powerhouse, and a silent (but always supportive) cheerleader for all your creative endeavors. If you're looking for a desktop that's as small as it is mighty, look no further. This Mini is a maxi in my book.

    Best Mac For Value

    I have a 27" iMac with 24GB of ram and my new M1 Mac mini holds its own in performance. Its driving a ProArt 27" monitor. It is a little short on connections so I have ordered a Thunderbolt hub to boost the ability to be more connectable.

    Best new Home PC experience ever! Works great like all my other apple products. Paired it with a Monoprice 32" 4K display. A backlit keyboard and a trackball mouse. Will probably add some external memory storage in the future.

    I am thrilled with the price and the speed of my new Mac Mini with the M1 processor. This computer preforms better than I expected and I love that it barely uses any space on my desk. This Mac Mini is just as good as my MacBook Pro.

    So far so good. It’s got the spread I was looking for and was of operation. The Migration assistant in Apple was great to move my files from one system to the next, just expect to need keyboard and mouse for both as you make the transition.

    So far, meeting the needs I originally anticipated. Reduces desktop clutter. Had to research to find out that the connection cord from the monitor to the Mac mini was not compatible.

    Im glad I got the bigger storage one. I gave it to my boyfriend for Christmas since he doesn't have a laptop or computer and has a monitor. He uses it to do research, uses is for his video editing, and photo editing!

    Awesome Mac, Best one I've used to date. Unfortunately due to the M1 Chip I had some issue with software I use for work and I couldn't get the full potential out of it from the start, waiting on updates.

    I bought this so I could stream my classes. I have noticed a lot of lag as the processor tries to catch up. It also processes photographs very slowly. Everything else on it is fine and I haven’t had any issues with it crashing. I was worried since I was switching over from a PC to a Mac that I would have difficulty but I did not.
