Tired of hot laptops?
Got it with maxed out CPU, 32 Gb of RAM and 1 TB SSD and it's flying through pop productions like a champ. 120+ tracks with most of them from un-printed synths and samplers, tons of Little AlterBoys and Melodyne? No problem. 350 track live mixdown? No problem. 4K video editing with hardware-accelerated h.265 encoding (thanks to the T2 chip)? Yup.
It seriously rocks.
Powerful.
When the inevitable happens and you Mac just says enough, it’s time to get depressed over how much Macs have gone up since you last bought one. With the options of factory HD & RAM upgrades you can future proof as much as possible with this thing. Get the best processor available, it’s worth it. This thing has more power than its size suggests. I’ve ran some high CPU projects and I’ve only ever heard the fans come on twice.
Very Good
I upgraded it to 32gb RAM. It is a solid Machinne. Sometimes it gets bugged when you have a 200track (VSTi) with Zoom, OBS, and Reflector at the same time, but for a no gpu dedicated it is very good.
It’s Awesome
Did everything it said it would do and more Far beyond my expectations - as usual with Apple Products Guys - just Spend the Money It’s Worth Every Dime
From Gear Setup:
the super computer is supposed to be small
I love my ipad, but apple is so dam overpriced, well not everything. This baby don't have the best graphics for gaming, but I got her for the music creation. At first GB (garage band) seemed to be enough, but logic pro X was my main intention and sometimes when everything comes together apple ain't so expensive; if you shop.
I can ram up my mac mini myself up to 12gb at present, seems to be more than enough.
Every time I plug something into my mac mini, it tells me, PC never did that. There has never been even from 4gb memory latenacy problems, what you play into the mini; eg - my electric guitar through my cakewalk usb audio interface UA-1G ( yeah this works just fine), is what you hear in your headphones.
I love my mac mini, I bought it new on sale, got a great price. BUT let me clearly say, I bought my mac mini for music creation and she does what I always wanted PC to do but never could.
I'm still running mavericks, again if she ain't broke why fix it.
The future is small things making great big things
Change!!
and now, i upgrade from 2014 to 2018 Mac Mini

Everything Good About a Mac, but Not as Expensive!
This thing is decked out with a quad core i7, and 16GB of RAM. It has a 5400 RPM, 750GB System Drive, and a 7200 1TB storage drive. I'm running my own dual monitor setup with 2 Acer 21.5' monitors, and am attempting a dual boot system with Win 7, or 8.1 (whichever will cooperate better). Bummed I can't use my Sylenth1 with it though, at least not yet, but that's my only problem. Love this workhorse!!!
Works amazing for its price
I got the i5 (2014 late) version of this. Really powerful and stable device.
installed a 1TB SSD, also connected to a 1 TB external Hard Drive, used for producing/recording mixtapes.
