The Mini will make you smile

I'm using the MINI as the central brains in a home entertainment center. From my perspective and given that I'm an OS fan it simply could not be better for me. The Mini is more than capable, fast and I can't believe I'm saying this but a great price at this price point. A nice array of ports gives this edition of the Mini and added advantage. The Mac was packed in a well cushioned package in a time fashion.

Oh for a larger hard drive.

I love it for so many reasons, but my concern is with the very small hard drive. I have be certain to remove downloads and leave so many of my files in the cloud. That seems to help quite a bit.

Simple

The easiest set up. Up and running in minutes. Fits in any small space. Simple to operate.

Perfect for the average person's needs

The small form factor is great and the fact that you can upgrade the RAM is a welcome feature. The thunderbolt ports are fast enough to connect a large external hard drive to use for your files and reserve the 128GB SSD for your applications and OS. Overall, this is a great little mac for the average person. I would go with an i5 or i7 for light to heavy photo or graphics work though.

Mac mini, mini hard drive

I like it. I went from a late 2012 Mac mini to this one. The hard drive is my only complaint. Purchasing more is crazy expensive. 500 gb to 128 gb is tough. Maybe they to think it's going to the cloud.

Perfect upgrade for old Imac

My 2010 Imac was ready to go to Apple Heaven and I debated between a new Imac and this new mini. Bought the mini and it is perfect for my needs. I do a fair amount of Photoshop and it has plenty of power to zip through my actions.

This seems to be the best of the three Mac Minis I've had were it noThis seems to be the best of the Mac Minis except for the Apple intrusions.

Finding the connection to the Canon Image Class D420 printer was a convoluted mystery hunt, and Apple is intrusive and wants to know all and sell all. Otherwise, all went well.

Everything I hoped for

My Mini is used for everyday computing stuff. I had a 5 year old Mini, and it had become sluggish despite all efforts to keep it uncluttered. The new Mini is very quick, even though my internet connection isn't considered fast.Moving programs, files and photos was a piece of cake. I took both Minis and my backup drive to the Apple store and an hour later everything was transferred over. No glitches. How can you beat that?

Convenience

I recommend this product for the convenience of integrating all your apple products together. This is a computer in a small package with a lot of power. The reliability and customer service of apple is also good to have in a computer.

Base station for all things Apple

This replaces the 2014 model I owned. A great productivity machine and our hub for supporting our iPads. It’s my preferred platform for desktop publishing.

Worth the Wait!

I've had every iteration of the Mac Mini and this by far is leaps and bounds above the rest. Stylish, fast, full of ports, and cost effective (even with the increase in cost). If you're looking for a home server, business machine, or looking to just get into the Mac ecosystem this is the machine for you.

Big upgrade for Mac Mini

Very satisfied with newest Mac Mini. Previous Mac Mini was 2012. With all the ports this should have many years of use. I bought ‘‘tis base model and it has plenty of power and speed.

The Mighty Mac mini

Thats what Tim Cook with Apple called it and I think he is right. I previously had a MacBook Air from 2010 and this blows it away. Faster at everything and easy to set up for the first time. What really impresses me is how fast Bluetooth devices pair with it.

About Apple Mac mini

Apple Mac Mini

The new Apple Mac Mini features its biggest updates yet. This desktop powerhouse is designed to be better and faster than ever, with upgrades such as the new 8th Generation 6-Core (Intel Core i5 and i7) and Quad-Core (Intel Core i3) processors; faster 2666MHz DDR4 memory; ultra-fast SSD storage of up to 2TB; and stunning Intel UHD graphics. While it looks essentially the same, the Mini has been re-engineered to perform up to five times faster in order to meet the ever-increasing needs of desktop users—all without compromising its convenience and portability by retaining its compact form factor. Thanks to these improvements, launching multiple apps, loading heavy files, and carrying out other RAM-intensive tasks that typically come with professional workflows is now a cinch. The new Mini is also pre-equipped with macOS Mojave (the newest successor to macOS High Sierra) to deliver the latest built-in apps, a more comprehensive Dark Mode, the organizational Stacks feature, and other professional-level upgrades. To further increase its versatility and functionality, the new Mac Mini comes with a variety of advanced ports, including four Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C), one HDMI 2.0, two USB-A, and 10Gb Ethernet.
