dependable?

[Revomonster]

I am planning on getting a new mac mini and I am already completely sold on it, except, is it dependable? I have noticed that lots of them have been showing up in the refurbished part of the apple online store. I just want to know, is the hardware depanable? Will it last for a long time? Thanks.
Apple rules!

Mac Mini's are very dependable. I've had mine for a year and a half and have no problems. Many people still have the G4 and Core Duo Mac Minis.

I have had two MacMinis one in 2005 and one in 2010 (still have). Touch wood, no problems.

I've had 5 minis in my house over the past 5 years, and all are still in service, including the original G4 model.

I bought one of those refurbished 2010 mini's and I dont have any complaints, Its rock solid.

I have my 2009 mini running 24/7 as an Elgato/iTunes Server.

Never had a problem with it inabout 18 months. Only time have ever shutdown is when my Drobo failed and so no iTunes/Elgato Storage are available.

Reboots only when Software Updates require it too.

Really cannot fault it.

just query on the mac mini at amazon and best buy or most any other large seller. you'll see 4-5 star (out of 5) averages for the customer reviews.

Unfortunately, they are too dependable. The wife won't let me buy a new one until my old one dies. It's from 2006 and is still going strong. 😡
