My first Mac. I've been using a iPad Air 2 for a while now, impressed with apples rock solid iOS. So far, I really like it. I invested in Parrallels so I could run Windows 10 on my Mac. Now I've got the best of both worlds. Going to update this post in a few months after I push my Mac to test its limits.

This is our first mac mini and could not be happier. We have been mac users since 1994, and love the price and features of the basic mac mini. Easy set-up and works well considering only 1.4GHz.

I just bought my second Mac Mini from Mac Mall. I publish a local magazine and my wife is our content coordinator. We've got a house full of old obsolete Macs with PowerPC processors. If you have budget limits, but need to be on the Mac OS platform, the Mac Mini is the way to go. My first Mac Mini runs the Yosemite X OS very fast and I'm running CS6 on it too. I bought the 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 model with 4GB of memory for my first Mini. We just got the second Mini up and running for my wife. It works great.

Not only does MacMall have configurations in-stock (Apple didn't) but the price was on par with Apple Store. Device arrived and performed as expected.

This is a great all purpose computer. It does all a computer should do and has Apple's reliability and features.

Although I had been using Macs for the past 10 years I never had a Mac mini before. Love the product, speed and everything.

I think this is a useful addition to my line of tech hardware at my home. Does it help me get things done? YES. Does it make me entertained? YES. Can I move it? Yes, but with more effort. It’s a bit heavy for me to transfer especially since I’m the type of person who has this inconvenient urge to transfer rooms when I feel like it. I know it’s silly but I can’t help it. First world problems, right?<br><br>Other than that, I love how I can connect it effortlessly through my wireless speakers. I love practicing some yoga from YouTube videos and I can freely do so when I can hear the instructions clearly.<br><br>Might get a MacBook soon, but for now I’m OK with the Mac mini. :)<br>

After months of nagging the company I work for to buy this for the HR department. We are continoually hiring new employees and there’s whole lot of orientations to do. Although a laptop is a cheaper solution, I proposed this is for a long term solution.<br><br>We predominantly use Apple computers here at the office so it isn’t a problem for anyone to conduct presentations through the Mac mini’s OS X. We have a humongous screen at the board room so it makes our new recruits focused on what coming to them.<br><br>We have a surplus of wireless keyboards here and mice so it just makes sense to operate it into the Mac mini.<br>Best part? The white color of the MM goes well into our office interior, though I would’ve preferred it in black if I had the chance to choose and if its available.<br>

I love using this for parties since it can be connected wirelessly to my AirPlay speakers. It makes my preparations easier since I can access the internet and do my checklist on a large screen while sourcing out suppliers.<br><br>They say being housewife is easy but here I am taking advantage of the iMac to make this job easier. Not only can I make my kids settle down before breakfast by playing cartoons online, I can also keep them sleep by playing my YoutTube playlist of lullabies. HA, take that, kids.<br><br>When the kids are asleep, its quality time for me and my husband when we watch movies via Netflix or Hulu. We always keep track of some series we managed to pick up from friends and social media. Other than that, we also… uh… hahaha. Nevermind.<br><br>Easy come, easy go with the Mac mini! 5 stars!<br>

As a senior designer for ad firm here in California, I tend to use the Mac mini to demonstrate new techniques for my inferiors to use when doing JO’s. Connecting it to a projector, I get to show my audience a wider view on what I want to show them and interact with them on a one on one distance.<br><br>Since it’s Mac OS based, I don’t have a hard time configuring certain settings to fit to my needs. I also use it to present to the bosses especially when a big project is up for brain storming or evaluation.<br><br>Connecting it to the Wi-Fi is easy so I can even show references for ideas through social media, YouTube, etc. Best part? We use it as a party projector on office movie nights and gaming. ;)<br>

Apple’s Mac Mini is heaven sent for me who does not have that much but wants to have a very good Apple experience. I got my own Mac Mini when I joined my cousin who ordered at MacMall online.<br><br>Mac Mini works best because it allows you to customize your own desktop, while being still able to experience the best of Apple. This device is compatible with any brand of computer parts that I wanted to put on it. I tried different brands to test that and yes, it works nicely with my Mac Mini!<br><br>Aside from the fact that it works with various brands and you could just use your preferred brand if not Apple, this Mac Mini is very affordable. The box cost something that lets you save more! I mean, you would still be having the same Apple experience, only with this little Mac Mini box with you, it would work.<br><br>Getting this Mac Mini from MacMall with great discount is also the best part in my online purchase. Also the time of the delivery of the shipment, because we need our devices the soonest time, MacMall delivers it on time.<br><br>The quality of the device has never been put into question because my cousin and I saw that our orders were tightly sealed, and as of this very moment that I am using my desktop that is powered by Mac Mini while downloading a software, I tell you, Mac Mini is the low cost Apple desktop experience for everyone! <br>

What do you do when you’re a nurse on retirement home and you want to entertain old people? You let them watch the classics. I do that with the Mac mini.<br><br>Since 2012, I’ve been working on a retirement home and I noticed that my patients are eternally bored with what they do, playing bridge or unavoidably sleep. Came up to my manager, who thankfully share my deal and we agreed to pitch in to but a projector.<br><br>I have a mac mini at home I rarely use, so I volunteered to lend it to the home so the elders can enjoy it instead. Surprisingly, our patients are better now more than ever. We have movie nights daily and during the afternoon, we connect it to the wireless speakers and they do their ballroom.<br>How’s that for a story right? I love the mac mini. :) - Amy.<br>

You know how the Mac pro is for artists and such? I think the Mac mini is for general use. I personally gave this product a try just because I was curious on why Apple decided to make this. Frankly, I’m on board with the idea.<br><br>It goes with most of the devices and equipment I have, and it gives me more options to enjoy what I want and experience the Mac system on a bigger system if I wanted to – which goes in between my small display monitor and my humongous HDTV in the living room.<br><br>It keeps me and my friends entertained on the weekend and it makes me more productive when I connect it into my wireless speakers. I don’t really use it for work, but I’m yet to try it.<br>

Some would think that this little box right here was just a box, without anything else on it. But, lo and behold because this little box that you are looking at has incredible stuff that’s all in store for you. And for me whose only starting to live on my own, this piece is worth the purchase. <br><br>I learned about Mac Mini while I was doing some research for the desktop that I am about to get for my own pad. I had a MacBook Air already so I need to have a desktop that’s also an Apple product. iMac is kind of pricy for me because aside from a desktop I also need to buy some other stuff for my pad. And I already got some computer parts which my Dad got me as his house-warming gift. So I decided to get a Mac Mini.<br><br>As per my sister’s husband whose a fan of online buying, I sought suggestion as to where I could easily get a Mac Mini that has an affordable price and an online store that could bring it to me the soonest time possible and MacMall was his first suggestion. I’m definitely loving this little box right here, aside from the fact that I got it at a price that doesn’t made my wallet cry, I also got to use the other computer parts that I got. Way to go, Mac Mini! <br>

For my dream desktop at my own home, I want it to be unique, simple yet have high-powered technologies and specifications that would make my work a whole lot comfortable to tolerate. Plus, I wanted to play with various brands as to the computer parts. This vision would not be complete if I hadn’t made the choice to choose Mac Mini to be my desktop PC. <br><br>Mac Mini is just a tiny piece of box-like device. The device is very flexible because you could definitely place it anywhere in your home, just like what I did. Yet the best part of having this device is that it works best with a lot of applications plus, even if you wished to partner it with different brands of computer parts, everything would work perfectly! <br><br>Apple’s Mac Mini is indeed a great buy for me.

Does it matter what computer you have when you have perfectly functioning stuff like this? No, because A) it provides the same efficiency, B) it can accommodate whatever equipment you have available and most importantly, C) I can store all my file here when I need to purge my MacBook with archive material I don’t need but have to keep.<br><br>With the Mac OS, Intel processor, and Apple-brand guarantee, trusting the Mac mini has been a good move for me professionally, especially since I need to be as versatile and effective as I am an educator. I do not have access to the same equipment all the time that’s why with this device, connecting what’s available has helped me continue my lessons however the case.<br><br>I always have my lesson plans ready, that even my colleagues are borrowing my lectures and powerpoints to help them teach better. I usually do visual presentations, so a projector does me wonders. <br>

As for someone like me who needs to provide the best for my family that would not cost me too much because of the fact that when you have a family you would be needing to have some great budgeting skills, I am always in search of a device that would be a very efficient as well as being a cost-effective device for the people in my own little home. As my kid grows up a little bit too fast, I decided that we need to have a desktop at home that he could utilize which is very user friendly and a desktop device that would fit my finances. And so I found Mac Mini.<br><br>Mac Mini gets everything done. Plus the fact that you could partner it with different kinds of computer parts so it simply means that you could use a screen, a keyboard, earphones, headphones, speaker or mouse of any brands.

I have just completed my set of Apple workstation. Just a few weeks ago I bought the Mac Mini here at MacMall. And I love it! How could I ever miss this important device when it provides powerful performance with its fourth-generation Intel Core processor? When it offers professional-quality graphics with the Intel Iris Graphics and HD Graphics 5000. When it got faster Fusion Drive to assist me in all my tasks. The versatile Thunderbolt 2 that allows me to maximize the capacity of my Mac. Comprehensive ports that make it easy for me to set up my entire digital studio. The latest and advanced Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies. The multimedia-ready HDMI input. And everything in between.<br><br>I am not an Apple fan myself. I just know which products are the best. It just so happens that they get almost everything that I have looked for in completing my entire workstation. Did I feel any regret? Of course not! Why would I be in the first place?<br>

The Mac Mini is simply the best! It has never failed to impress me with its stellar performance! Since the first time I used it up until now, there has been no problems at all. I always am able to run tasks, programs, and applications efficiently, and so I am always able to beat all the deadlines, and for that I am so grateful. <br><br>To have such an amazing tool for doing all my stuff is a great relief. I couldn’t imagine doing all those projects without the assistance of this tiny but mighty Apple Mac Mini. I believed that I have made a valuable investment when I purchased it here at MacMall. You guys are doing a great job for offering good price for products like this and also for your good service! Ciao!<br>

As what they say, good things come in small packages. Indeed, it is true enough. I just got myself the Mac Mini, and I’d say it is such an interesting device to have – because it is small, yet it does bigger than its body!<br><br>It’s got the fastest graphics processors for the brightest graphics, the versatile Thunderbolt 2.0 technology, the latest wireless technology, multiple connectivity ports, and a whole lot more! I have never imagined I would be delighted this much by this powerhouse by Apple. It’s a privilege to me to have one of my own. Great buy! I give the Mac Mini a big thumbs up! Highly recommended!
