    5 Stars
    Terrific product!
    My first Mac, and it is great! My old monitor did not support the Mac-mini, so I had to buy a new one which I was looking for anyway. I am now connected with an HDMI to HDMI cable. The mini is surprisingly small and surprisingly fast. Tech support is terrific! Wish I had gone to a Mac years ago.
