Great way to go Mac on the Cheap June 29, 2008

Using monitors, keyboards, and mice I already had, my wife was pleased that she could go Mac at the price of an entry PC. I did upgrade to 2 GBytes of memory by spending $50 at Crucial.
Adding memory is difficult. It may not have been worth the hours spent. You'll feel like a surgeon afterwards. This is why the 4 stars, not 5, were given.
This Mac runs far faster than the Core 2 Duo PC's running at 2.2 GHz.
 Excellent System, but overpriced... June 18, 2008

Never had a Mac before, this is great! Way better than my custom-built Vista Ultimate computer! Though I have found glitches in Mac OSX, the glitches are far more minor than those found in Vista. If it weren't for the ease of use and the tiny design, I would have given this computer a four star rating because it is overpriced for what you get. Not a gaming machine, but certainly a reliable computer for all sorts of activities that have minimal hardware requirements. (Such as web browsing, basic photo editing and music production, word processing, and so on and so on.) I am very pleased with this computer. I am now a Mac convert.
Overall great product June 16, 2008

The Mac Mini works great as a simple desktop solution. It was very easy to setup and worked with all of my existing PC components without issue. I was also surprised by it finding and installing my older printer (Epson Stylus Photo 825) and camera, although that speaks more for the MAC OS than the Mac Mini itself.
My only minor gripes is that the system is sometimes slow with only 1 GB RAM and a slow hard drive. I also get annoyed b/c it takes a while to find my wireless network everytime it "wakes up" from going into hybernation mode.
Runs smoother than an 86 Yugo June 3, 2008

So far I am very pleased with my new MiniMac. I switched over from a PC because I was sick and tired of my PC and its continuous problems/viruses. I had little to no experience with MAC's but making the transition was easier than I thought. A quick tutorial and I was up and running. I primarily use it for internet, email, etc. and so far so good. It runs like a top, comes with cool software, and no viruses make this a good buy.
Cute, but Powerful May 30, 2008

For it's size, this computer can handle a lot more than one would expect. This is my second Mac (I got a MacBook Air a few months ago), and so far I love them better than any XP or VIsta computer I have ever used. I use this computer to run File Maker Advanced 9, Adobe's CS3 suite, and VMware Fusion (both XP and Vista) for SQL Server, Visual Studio, Access and a few other programs, it runs everything pretty well stock. Being the crazy IT person that I am though, I did end up creating a Mini mod, I added 4GB of RAM (yes, it will work with up to 4GB's, despite what APple says), a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, a Sonnet Aria Wireless N card, a SuperDrive for burning, and a paint job by ColorWare PC, and with these upgrades, this computer is by far the best little machine in the market. If your a typical, everyday user, only running Office 2008, or iWorks, than your fine running this computer stock, even for what I do, stock works, but I wanted to see how much this tiny little computer could handle.
