Apple Mac Mini Reviews

We got so tired of blue screens from our Dell! My husband was so tired of the waiting and not knowing whether or not to allow a download. We almost gave up on having a home computer. Too stressful and expensive replacing every 3-4 years. We love the Mini Mac. Just enough for our e-mailing, surfing, photos and documents. My daughter is sending me her old iPod. Now i can get iTunes and truly be an apple convertor.

I LOVE my Mac mini! I got it after my last Dell bit the dust. It takes up so little room on my desk, which is a plus because I'm a teacher, and my desk is always covered with papers. Also, as a teacher, I got an educator discount from Apple.

One great thing about the Mac mini is that I did not have to buy new peripherals. I just plugged in my own keyboard, mouse and monitor left from the dead Dell. Macs are smart and play well with other manufacturers' accessories. I've got a backup drive and speakers hooked up, as well. The only drawback I've found so far is that there is no USB port on the front,...

I got the Intel Mac Mini as a birthday present when it first came out with the Intel processor. I use it for everything. It's great because it is sooooo quiet (it replaced a noisy PowerMac G4), and yet has the power to handle lots of concurrent tasks.

I recently purchased a second one, that I use for a media computer connected to our TV. We're currently living in an area without much TV service, but I can podcast my favorite programs to fill in the void. It comes with Front Row software (all Macs do) and a remote, so it's easy to setup. All I needed was a DVI to video adaptor from Apple...

I HAVE HAD MY MINI FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW. ITS MY FIRST ONE AND I LOVE IT. I HAD APPLE LAPTOPS PRIOR AND AND IMAC. BUT THIS IS MUCH BETTER FOR ME ANYWAY. ITS HOOKED UP DIRECTLY TO MY 32" FLAT SCREEN AND MY HOME THEATER SYSTEM. SO ITS PERFECT FOR MUSIC AND MOVIE DOWNLOADS AND I STILL GET MY WORK DONE.

I have newly become a Mac Addict!  By no means am I an expert on Mac Mini or any Apple product but I do know what I like and and I can tell you that I like the Mac Mini and recommend it to anyone.  I am a novice at using the Mac Mini but the learning curve I thought I would have from going from PC to Mac is much shorter and very entertaining. 

Before owning a Mac, my son had convinced me that we should go Mac Mini and after purchasing, I was wondering now if I had made the right decision. Initially, I just sat back and stared at this tiny computer, wondering how something so small could do...

I recently purchased a Mac Mini after my Windows PC started having hardware problems. I had a PowerMac G4 (Sawtooth ed.) before, but by chance, I was Windows only for the past 4 years. It was a good experience with Windows, but since I felt OS X to provide a superior experience, I decided to go back to a Mac when I was ready for a new computer. I have the latest 2 GHz Core 2 Duo version and because I don't ever plan on playing any video games on it, it's perfect. My main purpose for buying this computer is a better user experience (i.e., safe and reliable platform for personal computing and a...

My brother and I recently chipped in together to get a Mac Mini because of things going up to Flash 10. He bought the main computer and I paid for a separate screen with built-in speakers, the I-Work disk and the Apple Phone Modem since we're on dial-up. It doesn't come with a screen, keyboard or mouse in case you want to use what you already have. But because we couldn't connect it to a computer we already had, that's why we had to buy a separate screen and have help connecting it to the stand that came with it. The power button and all the connectors are in the back, but the light indicating...

I use a Mac Pro myself, running Windows XP occasionally with VM Ware from my Boot Camp partition. I like that I can add extra video cards (currently running 3 monitors, 2 plus TV-out to my plasma) and have a bunch of hard drives. But this made a nice gift for my Mom who had been struggling with Windows. XP got ok over time, but Vista was horrible. Windows 7 is a little better, but not much, and would have slowed her PC down even more. Already running at a crawl. Even without all the spyware and viruses. So I set her up with a Mac mini and she loves it. It's actually gotten even faster with OS X...

Built in DVD so playing your favorite movies  is a snap. Add a wireless keyboardf and mouse and you can enjoy this powerhouse form across the room  or  from  that  favorite...

I bought my Mac Mini almost 2 years ago and have not had one problem with it. My only problems I have had are keyboards, and those can be bought for 20 bucks. There are no viruses with any Mac computer that I know of as of right now. They are small and compact and work great for a dorm room, or a not so big desk.

The only negative thing that I can say about this computer, and in my eyes it's a positive....is you have to buy your monitor, keyboard, and mouse separate. But if you already have these, they will work on the Mac Mini.

I strongly urge anyone who is debating between PC and the...

When my Dell laptop needed upgrading, I opted for a Mac Mini.  I'm so glad I did.  I have none of the virus problems seen in PC's, and the Tech Support has been outstanding. I purchased the Apple Care agreement with the computer and I did have to use it once.  The optical drive needed replacing soon after it was purchased.  I just took it to a Mac dealer, they replaced the part for free, and no further problem.  The only thing I would change is the clumsy connector for the monitor.   It's a connector connected to another connector. Every time I move the mini, the connection wiggles free....

The mac mini is a good computer for anyone from searching the internet to the computer programmer. With many good points such as: looks good, quiet, fast and many others. But a few down sides are it's: poor video and sound card which are essential for a gamer which demands the best, and it's tendency to heat up, doesn't over heat but seems like it's too hot for such a little compueter
