Good PC, I wouldn't recommend this for high end gaming, I would switch to i7-7700K with 1070 or 1080 video card, but this is a good device to do gaming at average game settings. I am using it for office, video encoding and music recording with sony acid or vinyl recording to DSD. So far so good.

This review is to help people uninformed about this product. Its still an iPad with iOS, it will not replace your MacBook pro or any desktop/laptop for that matter. If you have/had an iPad or iPhone same thing folks. What defines for me a justified purchase is screen space and speed. Coming from an iPad Air 2 the choice I made was well worth it. I get more of the same experience with the ability to have more space to enjoy the iPad experience. I personally use it for gaming and web browsing mostly. Would the iPad Air 2 or any other idevice work, YES. In summary if you want a bigger screen, better performance and larger sound this is great. If you are expecting it to replace a desktop/laptop you will be disappointed. Hope this helps someone make a decision!
Mac mini now has fourth-generation Intel Core processors, increased graphics performance, and ultrafast 802.11ac wireless networking. It also features two Thunderbolt 2 ports, great built-in apps, and OS X Yosemite. And it's still the world's most power-efficient desktop.

I bought this after selling my 2011 Mac mini. Paid a few hundred for this, as they hold there value. On with the pros: this models cpu is dual core that is HYPERTHREADED, meaning it can act synthetically like a quad. I noticed in system monitor under cpu "4" processor monitors. Unlike a quad core which would show "8" processor monitors. The ram is adequate is does load a lot of apps programming into memory since its a spinning drive. So 8gb is bare minimum I'd recommended. I ran several, benchmarks comparing 2012 and 2013 MacBook pro' retinas short and simple this is faster overall according to a sun spider score of 138 in safari on the mac mini 2014 2.6ghz. Cons Yosemite has glitches and bugs as of November 1st 2014. Best Buy doesn't sell the ssd version which would basically increase app/startup times because the faster solid-state drive. However, be prepared to pay over 1k for that luxury. Also, carefully decided on your requirements out of this device, as your initial purchase the mini now soldiers its RAM onto the motherboard, and your hard drive its surgical to replace from what I've read. Bummer with the very limited aftermarket/upgrade options without tearing the whole system apart (harddriveonly) remember as Ram is soldered onboard. i'm overall impressed with the performance of a regular hard drive that's all that Best Buy offers coming from 99% of my machines using solid-state disk the wait time isn't that bad. If they offered the $1000 version I would've definitely got it which includes a hybrid 128gb ssd drive with a normal drive. I read all the reviews on this site and have to say negative reviews were from no one who actually had units in their hands performing tests before making assumptions. I give it a solid thumbs up, I just wish Best Buy would offer the higher end model. If you're on the fence try it before you buy it, I feel its worth it. If you're on the fence about hard drive speed being an issue i find it is sufficient, although ssd would def be better. Also note that this model does output 4k to the TV/monitor if you have a 4K TV/monitor. Try it before saying it's terrible trust me.

Played several hours, it seemed cool at first. Not certain I like the schema changes. I don't like the time limits given. I am not giving a review of the whole game, check out a game site for that. It boils down to would I recommend it? Use a rental service first. The demo is deceiving.
Full HD 3D Camcorder features two Full HD sensors to capture true 1920 x 1080 3D video for a rich, 3D experience. Easily switch between recording in 3D and 2D. If a 3D-compatible TV or PC is not available, everything shot in 3D can also be played back in 2D. With the 3D-ready, 3.5" LCD, you can view content in amazing 3D directly on the camcorder's LCD without special glasses. Built-in, 64GB, embedded flash memory can record and store up to 25 hours of 2D high-definition video footage (HD LP mode) or up to 5 hours of high-definition 3D video. Wide-angle G lens delivers brilliant, accurate color reproduction and sharp detailed images. The 27.4mm focal length in Photo Mode and 29.8mm in Video Mode offer a broader perspective for enhanced wide-angle shooting. Camcorder also offers direct copy to external HDD without a PC, 10X optical zoom in 3D and Dolby Digital 5.1 channel recording. Sony's warranty requires the consumer to contact Sony directly with any issues about this product.
First let me start off by saying I have been testing 3D camcorders/Camera as the consumer level for years. Up until recently, have we been able to VIEW these videos via a 3D-BLURAY without editing via PowerProducer etc.
The Sony BDP-S580 with the latest firmware update will play full quality (no downgrading to 24P via Power Producer software). All you have to do is have a blu ray writer and the latest Sony Picture Motion Browser installed. Of course you need the 3D TV, Glasses and HDMI 1.4a cable.
One thing you NEED this is not an OPTION is a high power LED Camcorder light if you WANT the best picture. Something like best buy sku 2120113. If you can find one with more leds the better. Dont forget the COLD Shoe adapter as this wont fit.
3D is great, zoom is great. Burned BluRay looks same as hooked into the TV. Have yet to try 2D but as this does 60P 2D I am sure I wont be dissapointed.
What's great about it: Amazing 3D effects
What's not so great: Needs Good Lighting to bring out the best 3D picture, the picture is acceptable without the light
I would recommend this to a friend!
