This system is fine and works well • Quality product • Simple and easy to use • Good performance • Built-in applications like iPhoto works great with phone and camera
I needed something affordable from Apple and was tired of dealing with PClaptop after PClaptop.
I love how small it's and easily fits on top of my desk, next to the TV versus the standard PCtower.
With Apple TV's on every TV in the house and all members of the house with at least an iPhone and most with an iPad it was time to move on from my Win PC.
I've owned WindowsPC's all of my life and finally decided to take a leap of faith &switch over to Mac.
A bit more than a PC, but well worth the money.
I'll never purchase another PC for myself or any family member.
-Only $635 with tax included (Comparable WindowsPC's might have a little bitbetter specs at this pricepoint, but they aren't as reliable as Mac's).
I bought this as I wanted to switch to Mac from PC.
Awesome quad core computer • Looks excellent • Easy to setup and get going • Can drive 2 monitors and run parallels • Has Gigabit Ethernet • Easily upgradable RAM
With a Mac Mini you've buy a Monitor,Keyboard, and Mouse.
You do have to purchase all accessories for it, (aka keyboard,mouse,monitor) but I found wirelesskeyboards for really good prices all over town.
If you've, or don't mind buying, the separate components separately(keyboard,mouse, webcam, monitor,speakers) then this's an excellentbuy for the money.
A MUST BUY is a bluetoothkeyboard.
If you've lots of left over computerstuff,keyboard,mouse or mousepad,monitor this's just the Mac for you.
YOU SHOULD BUY THIS COMPUTER!!
As I'd already owned keyboard,mouse,drives,monitor, printer, scanner etc. This Mac mini slot onto my desk and was up and running in minutes.
This computer is absolutely amazing and I hook it to my HDTVs rather than a computermonitor.
Has a 2.3 GHz processor • 4 GB RAM is good for web browsing and word processing • Can be upgraded to 16 GB and works better that way • Better to upgrade to 16GB to run applications like Photoshop • Can also add SSD for better performance
2.3 gHzprocessor, 4 GBRAM(upgraded to 16 GB for less than $100 from CorsairVengeanceRAM), onboard Intel 4000 graphics, which has proved more than capable, running Photoshop,Premiere,Illustrator, Encore, Borderlands 2, MicrosoftWord, Powerpoint, Apple Pages, Tables, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer.
Better with the 16gig ramupgrade.
I immediatelyupgraded to 16GB of RAM, so I don't know how the system would perform with 4GB.
UpgradeRAM, later add SSD and improveperformance further.
Right out of the box this machine is zippy....but as a heavyphotoshopuser, I immediatelyupgraded to 16 GBram.
I put in 16 GB of RAM and a 256 GBSamsung 840 ProSSD.
Hint: I upgraded to the G Skill 10-10-10 timing 16GB RAMkit (around $90), and it pushed the performance even higher.
4gb of RAM is definitely a lot of ram for browsing the web and doing wordprocessing, but heavier applicationsseem have issuesallocatingRAM between one another.
To my knowledge, all other Apple computers need at least 8 GB of RAMinstalled to get 512 mb of videoram from the HD 4000 card.
