I'm admittedly cheap, and a Mac fan.  I have to use PCs at work, but prefer a Mac for everything else.  They just work with minimal fuss.  But I'm also not willing to shell out the ridiculous sums Apple commands for their silicon powered PCs.  So I tend to use the models from years past.  This means Mac minis for the past 15 years, since you supply the monitor, keyboard, and mouse.  Unfortunately, I reached the end of the line for running the most recent OS X's security updates.Begrudgingly I ordered this refurbished model.  It is seriously less expensive than the current Minis, so I had little to lose.Installing it was a no brainer, as expected for Apple.  The case only had a tiny, tiny dent on one edge, but is otherwise clean looking.  Boot up was quick and transferring from my external Time Machine SSD backup was seamless.  Took about 30 minutes to do so.  There were hiccups as I upgraded the various software packages installed, that required updates.  A week into use, it is running solid with no crashes unlike the old 2014 model I was using.In running, I do think the 8Gb of RAM is a little slowing, but otherwise it runs fine.  Since this model can be updated to 64Gb, I think I might splurge on the RAM and see what it can do.  The 512Gb SSD included should be the minimum included, given the amount of photos and music one normally accumulates in day to day use.If anything untoward occurs after this posting I will be sure to update.  Otherwise, recommended for cheapskate OS X fans.
