Bought a 2012 Mac Mini about 3 years ago and have never looked back.  Awesome little machine (Intel i7 upgraded to 16GB RAM & 512GB SSD plus added A/C WiFi).  Still, it's getting 'long in the tooth' but have zero desire to buy Apple's 2014 'upgrade'.  Ever since Steve Jobs passed & Tim Cook took over, Apple lost its' way IMO.  Steve had such a fantastic vision and seemed intent on bringing that vision to 'the masses'.  Tim cook?  Not so much, although no one can argue that Cook has made the company a ton of money.  Pity, because Google has now skunked Apple in the education market (60% share to less than 20% share).  A new Mac Mini could provide some nice competition to the relatively inexpensive PCs running Microsoft's Windows 10 and Chromebooks running Google's Chrome OS now flooding the market.
