    Just want to throw some positive news in here: I bought a pretty much fully spec'd Mac Mini and it's been solid.

    Carry on.

    • I think these will work for a lot of people who don't need a laptop. If my Hackintosh wasn't so solid, I'd get one.section_014
    • The new ones seem really good, other than potentially needing an eGPU for some things. Still, they waited too long to get those out.evilpeacock
    • I mostly do interface design and dev work. It's more than enough for what I need.mathinc
    • I'd like to go with a mini for cost saving but you have to get a monitor with webcam, keyboard, mouse on top. For the all in one I think iMac is still best.Hayzilla
    • You can build a smaller form factor hackintosh for a lower price with double ram double storage, better performance and better cooling.monospaced
    • One can always build something faster/cheaper than Apple. It's not cheaper if you're not already proficient with the knowledge and experience to do that well.evilpeacock
    • If I had the time to build it I honestly would have done a hackintosh. My '11 iMac was dying quickly.mathinc
    • You don’t have to be very proficient. The builds are out there and macOS install is now just a quick process.monospaced
    • It is so much easier, but I've seen folks with documented builds get caught up in things not working, then spend hours trying to resolve it.evilpeacock
