There is no doubt that the Mac mini is the cheapest way to buy a Mac, however, it’s one of the lowest spec Mac ranges available. You could equip the cheaper Mac with a monitor, mouse and keyboard, and still have cash left over. If you are only considering the entry-level Mac mini, the price of the iMac is significantly higher. We’d recommend the entry-level £399 Mac mini over the iMac if you’re looking for a budget no-thrills Mac, but beyond that it gets a bit murky. However, if you want an HDMI port, the Mac mini offers one. It also features an integrated monitor and comes with both a wireless keyboard and mouse.
