Purchased it on a lark, I thought I was going to have to do a lot of tinkering to get it usable but nope! Does all the basics perfectly. I've got some Mini display to HDMI cords that support 4k60 in the mail and that was my only gripe with it. Not a bad little system for the money.

Wow, I almost forgot these existed. They are neat little things. I recall seeing the Unbox Therapy video for this almost a decade ago and thinking it was one of the coolest computers out there.

Can't innovate anymore my ass!

I loved this design. Did debate buying one recently but there was no real point for me.

Would be cool to see someone shoehorn an 'M' chip into one of them

Yeah, they are still not exactly buy-it-as-a-bookshelf-item cheap…

I definetly need one for my collection at some point. Such a beauty 😍

I desperately wanted one but couldn't do it at the time, and since I already have an "antique" Mac Pro G5 sitting here (in working condition!) that I never use, feels like putting a trash can in the mix woulnd't be my smartest move at this point. :D

Cool machine though, glad to see you still have one that is usable and kicking it!

If it wasn’t for Thunderbolt 2 I’d be still using them
