Our quick take
Apple Mac mini (2012) - 4.0 / 5
Lovely to look at
OS X
Trackpad is a must
Slight graphics issues
Expensive when you factor in the extras
Cable cutter’s favourite
To recap
A lovely machine that has so many uses it’s almost staggering. It works as a desktop machine, it works as a media centre. It’s not hugely cheap, but it is still the cheapest way to get into Apple computers, without buying reconditioned or second-hand. But as a computer, it’s very likable and is well-placed to snatch the desktop crown away from those slightly uglier Windows boxes.
