In a good way. Very powerful, very cool, and very low power consumption.
I've never had all three at once before! :ROFLMAO:
 
I had one issue since getting my mac mini in Dec. It was early on and of all things, Spotify. Not sure why but I was going through tons of play list suggestions that day and got a memory warning. Absolutely no issues with more intensive work such as video editing or audio productions.

Most of my plug ins now work. Still stuff not officially supported. Was looking at the Izotope appreciation bundle but having a hard time finding out what works and doesn't under emulation. I knew this would be an issue going in as this industry takes time to catch up.
 
I suppose compatibility's an ongoing issue for a lot of people.
I've been quite lucky - Of course I looked into compatibility in advance to make sure I'd be OK but, as it happens, everything I use just works fine.
I don't use a huge amount of plugins + vsts...Waves platinum, SSD5, Drumcore, EastWest platinum orchestra and ProTools.
That's about it and, thankfully, nothing needed updating except ProTools, which I was always going to have to do anyway.

Strangely for audio purposes everything's been super smooth sailing - My Steam gaming library is where the real damage was.
There's a huge number of older titles which will probably never be updated for MacOS 64 bit only.
That's a shame but not a surprise.

Edit : Actually, I lost Soundflower - Forgot about that.
For anyone who relied on Soundflower for anything, check out Blackhole. I've been using it as a replacement without issue.
