This Mac Mini is a bargain - which is exactly what the mini was always supposed to be. For a couple of hundred dollars more, you can buy an entry level mini with Apple's new M silicon and it is also a very strong performer. Unfortunately, the newer machines have no upgrade potential so you are basically stuck with what you are willing to buy up front. With this older Intel based machine, you can at least upgrade the RAM - not sure about the internal SSD? The supplied 512GB SSD has a very reasonable capacity (at this price point) and remarkable performance. Excess drive capacity and time machine backup capability can of course be added via external drives. Minis are often used to drive retail signage so the specs allow this machine to drive a couple of monitors of impressive resolution - although gamers could probably find fault with the frame rates. If you have a decent monitor or two and an old Apple keyboard and mouse kicking around, this Mini will give you the powerful desktop capability on the cheap.

This Mac mini is the last generation of the intel Mac minis. It is incredibly fast. Adorama was one of the few places I have found that had this model in stock.

This little gem is a great computer and has everything one needs to operate a MAC desktop on the cheap. Could not recommend it more highly.

I use this computer solely for music production and the 32GB RAM drastically increased my headroom to work on large files. It also has fantastic heat dissipation. No longer am I worrying about whether my computer can handle the workload, I am free to focus on the music. Adorama also shipped it super fast and had a great deal. Highly recommended.

Pretty painless and trouble-free from the get go! Had to wait a couple days before my Adorama credit card would work on the site, but once that was sorted, ordered on a Friday, my order was submitted to Apple the following Sunday, a week and a half later, here's my brand new i7 Mac mini! So far so good, running smooth as silk compared to the 2010 Mac Pro it replaced, and no more choking in Logic Pro anymore!

I've had apple computers since my first Apple II (1979). This is the next in a long line of apple products, boasting larger RAM and hard drive than the mid-2011 mini it is replacing.

I love my new Mac Mini. It is great! Fair price and I should be set up for a long while with my art designs and music.
