Customer Review

Hi Guys,

possess the Mac mini now more than a month and it is the best computer I've ever had.
I own are about 12 years of PC's and am dealing with myself much technology gadgets, so I have some experience with various operating systems and different hardware. Before, I was more of PC screwdriver and got myself together already about 5 PC's self and also mounted.
It seemed always on quality hardware and good performance of (games, CAD and photo programs).
Now I'm on Mac OS X came out (but Windows 7 is installed) and am very happy with it.
Which Windows computer one compiles matter is, you never get the best rausholt from any part of such a well-coordinated hardware and software solution.

To more rauszuholen from the system I ordered the "dual hard drive kit" of iFixit, an SSD and 8GB of RAM.
Now my Mac mini has a 256GB SSD and a 500GB HDD is what hard to believe at the size of the computer.

Hardware and Design:

The housing is amazing. It is very high quality, feels very well and is so small that you think it is ne bigger external hard drive.
The design is very nice and absolutely simple. The above hardware was installed by me, and thus I could also view the inside of the Mac mini accurate. It is truly a high-quality PC, where I had first concern as only a fan cools the computer. For very heavy use such as complex graphics in games, he is really quite hot but the temperature of the CPU's remains in the designated area.
The graphics card is quite enough for normal use (Internet, photos and HD movies look), but who wants to play games and do not want to play on minimal details and niedriegererer resolution should have stick to Windows computers and a 1-2GB strong current video card or a use iMac with strong graphics card. For the Mac mini is also not intended. The 2 cores are also quite sufficient and there is an i5, 2 additional cores are virtually generated and then have even more power with more computing work. In operation it is not heard, thanks to the low noise fan and the noiseless SSD (which is really great!). Thanks to the SSD it takes 14 seconds to boot up .... that does not have a Windows computer made with me no matter what hardware was inside. Power saving it is also even and mega-fast USB 3.0 ports are also available four.

Software:
Mac OS X is a very great operating system and absolutely equivalent (in my opinion better) with Windows.
It is very good gestalltet and brings many opportunities that Windows can not provide (better Ecosystem). The synchronization with the cloud is very useful but of course requires other Apple devices. The best is "Airplay", thus I can push with two clicks using Apple TV without cable the image on my TV and there show pictures, movies presentations and everything else and look. One can also, for example, just turn off the sound over the speakers in the Mac should not be sufficient. Meanwhile, many devices support this feature, so I can also let the sound without wires running to my AV Receiver on a 5.1 system :-).

Who has to use a completely different operating system fear which also requires some rethinking, with Boot Camp can easily create a partition and run there normal windows. Any driver can thereby be loaded onto a flash drive and thus can be used the Mac as normal Windows PC.

My entire peripheral (printer, Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, monitor) was recognized by Mac OS X immediately and I was able to get started immediately so no driver installation. There is otherwise no installation required, all major programs are either already there or can be downloaded from the AppStore. Who wants an extra programs (eg OpenOffice or Mozilla) can also be found on the Mac and install it must only download the right software and drag the file to its programs ... it's already installed. If that does not happen at the very beginning, the security has to be changed (the other programs can be installed outside the app stores) only in the settings.

Closing remarks:

The Mac mini is the best computer I've ever had and no matter what hardware I use for a Windows PC, I never come closer to the performance (except in games) from a Mac. The design, size and the volume is absolutely amazing and the wonderful programs such as iTunes, iPhoto and the super integration with Airplay and iCloud the Mac is worth every penny!

Greetings
