deceptive electronics

I have already bought "updated" Apple products, so I was sure that this purchase would go smoothly. It was listed as a 2014 Mac Mini with 8GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. What was sent was a 120 GB SSD with a 1 TB 5400 rpm hard drive. Only the 120 GB SSD was active. I contacted the company that sold it. They were very responsive and suggested I use the Disk Utility app to check if there is a 1TB hard drive. I was relieved until I found out the 1TB drive was NOT an SSD drive. This is a blatant scam and

Pros
  • understandable also for the old
Cons
  • something else

Don't buy or sacrifice your safety

Worst product I have ever bought. The product started up slowly and sluggishly, wouldn't start or stay connected to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and didn't update as intended. I used apple support to restore the system but after that it never fully booted. I tried to bring this to Apple's attention, the product didn't show up as an Apple certified product, the serial number didn't register. Malicious programs were found during the basic installation and loaded into the operating system. The product…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Long wait

ALWAYS GET 8GB RAM

4GB RAM FIRST ORDERED WAS SUPER SLOW. SENT IT BACK AND ORDERED THIS WITH 8 GIG RAM. JUST UPDATE TO MAJAVE TO MAKE SURE IT WILL SLOW DOWN TOO MUCH. I USE IT TO SHOW A SLIDESHOW OF PICTURES IN MY STORE TINT. IT WORKS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL. I'm glad I have a 1000GB hard drive. THE PRICE WAS ONLY 399.00. I ALSO BOUGHT A NEW MAC MINI M1 AND IT'S AWESOME TOO. STUDY AND DECIDE. MAIN WORKS GREAT AND REMEMBER TO GET AN ADDITIONAL WARRANTY

Pros
  • Handy Stuff
Cons
  • Short Guide

Be careful with computers and accessories

All the above things look like they are. I didn't like the fact that I was given a computer and power cord. For a nearly 6 year old model that isn't even an Apple certified device or genuine, this was a bit of a disappointment. Especially considering that for a bit more I could buy a CERTIFIED Apple device that is FIXED and not just UPDATED. There is a difference, please understand the difference before buying. My BIGGEST concern is the open wireless network that remains on the device. Because…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Lots of things

Slow, restless, and easily knotted

Sheep too small only gets knotted when trying to work in the office. 8GB is too small. Also, it has a hard drive, so it's slow. Spend the extra cash and buy direct from Apple. In the picture almost all of the RAM is used just to clean up my drive. Not sure what this machine used to be used for but they got rid of it for some reason.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Makes me nervous

Working, keyboard and mouse not included

The description says that the accessory will not be original but will be functional. How about not existing. Inside the box was a computer unit and a power cord, that's all. Loading (a bit slower than I remember, but still). Fully functional, box looks good, no scratches or scuffs. Only intends to use this to view files on old Mac format hard drives. Since the computer works, I deduct 1 star for the misleading description alone.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Some small things

Refurbished item minimums not met

This is my first time buying a refurbished electronic item from Revain. I will never do that again. The product comes with a deleted profile on the surface but is still tied to the MDM system. You have the ability to control the device and monitor your activities. If you weren't paying attention during the initial setup, you could have easily overlooked it. I spent over an hour wiping the hard drive but it is partitioned in a way that it cannot be wiped. We're trying to get our money back.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Available in white only

decent price - desktops

I was going to own it for a few months until I set it up as a home PC and set everything up the way I like it. Initially, I was disappointed with the performance of the machine. I knew it was an old style but was stunned when I first set it up and updated to OS Catalina. (10.15) After the first update it was terribly slow. Then Apple released version 10.15.2. This was a welcome surprise as the little Mac Mini was much more responsive and less clunky. If you're looking for something to browse…

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • slightly dented

Something fishy. Update: Everything is fine

Update: Contacted CTS Warehouse immediately and fixed the issue. It took me a few days to receive them but they sent another Mac mini and all seems fine with the world. Mini works as expected! Original Message: I received my Mac Mini very well, but something is wrong. The first clue was the included power cord. It wasn't Apple. I went ahead and turned it on and set it up and right at the gate it falls back. literally every task pauses and gives me a turntable for at least 2-5 seconds. For some…

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Appearance
