Do you need this? No. But did you watch the keynote when it was announced and think "man, I really want one of those but there's no way I'm going to spend $3,000 on it!" and now find yourself with $159 in your pocket? If so, this is the deal for you!

They have a variety of other Intel Mac's on sale right now as well, used and refurbished:

I agree with the above comments about this being e waste. It's not worth it for the energy cost compared to silicon Mac's. Good for someone who needs an Intel Mac for software reasons but outside collectors I don't see a use for this. Don't get me wrong I thought about getting one to fool around with but after watching a video Lon tv did on these and I believe even he said it's not a good economical buy these days.

The only negative he mentioned is the power consumption. Besides that, overall, it was a very positive review.

these are notorious for thermal issues and subsequent graphics failures.

Honestly, you are better off finding an old office Intel PC that cannot run W11 natively for $15-$30 and hackintosin it. Buy a used supported GPU & you should be good to go. There are plenty of these trash can models that had problems & you cannot fix them cheaply.

I don't care what anyone else says but this was easily my favorite form factor in any desktop PC ever! Too bad it was thermally crippled. Apple Sililcon could've done some justice to this chassis...
