The good The Mac Mini is the least expensive OS X computer, and its performance is on par with Macs that cost twice as much.
The bad Upgrades are expensive, and aftermarket upgrades are nearly impossible. Configuration options are not as extensive as previous versions of the Mac Mini, and a keyboard and mouse are not included.
The bottom line While its sealed-case limitations will turn off power users, Apple’s least expensive Mac delivers a solid OS X experience in a compact box with similar performance to the entry-level MacBook Air and iMac models.
