    Comments about Apple Mac mini Desktop Computer (Early 2009):

    Setting up a Mac is a breeze. Just plug it in and it works. I returned a HP a week before because right out of the box it was trouble. My Mac mini is hooked up to a HDTV, which works great.

      Comments about Apple Mac mini Desktop Computer (Early 2009):

      I bought the Mac Mini for my wife's 60th birthday as an update for a 5 year old Mac she was using. The problem is, she likes it so much she is on it constantly checking on blogs, tweets, social networks, and even some online gaming. When she is not looking, I get on it. It is a huge improvement over my Mac that only 3 years old - Now I want one too.
