Late 2018 Mac Mini with 3.0GHz Intel Core i3, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, Space Gray (Renewed)

Update: Lucky for me the machine doesn’t support Tahoe which is the newest MacOS and which is widely hated. I did not know that and in my ignorance would have taken it if I’d had the option. Sequoia is ok but not great, Apple is clearly losing its way but I can live with Sequoia. I upgraded to an 18.5 100hz display which looks a little better than the 17.3 I had on it and has the additional advantage of needing only a single USB-C cable to deliver video and power. The changeover was as simple as unplugging one and plugging in the other and then powering it all up. I’m sharing the keyboard and mouse from an M2 iPad though that connection seems to break if the Mini is put to sleep and wakes up. I can slide the mouse off the right side of the iPad display and it appears on the Mini. The keyboard follows the mouse so I need only one of each on my desktop. I would def buy a new Mini if not for all the Tahoe issues but it’s difficult-to-impossible to downgrade Tahoe back to Sequoia due entirely to Apple. Original: Upgraded from Catalina to Sequoia right off via Starlink connection - the first attempt failed checksum, second attempt succeeded, so that’s 32gig off my data plan. Synced with my other devices no problem. Using a $50 portable monitor and ancient wired kbd & mouse. The unit connected easily to my wifi network and setup was smooth. This is my first Mac and I like it. If that doesn’t last I’ll load it with Ubuntu.

Great machine for the price! A very nice budget mac, best Deal for the price, it works flawlessly and arrive in Great shape, almost no scratches, very fluid on normal task, I've been trying it with light editing in capcut and been working great for the task, very happy with the purchase!

En excelente condiciones.

The computer came installed with Catalina and upgraded easily to Monterey. I use it for iOS development and it does what I need. The HDMI port was not working, it would recognize the monitor or TV but not put a signal out. Not sure if that is a software or hardware problem but using a USB-C DisplayPort-DVI cable connected my old-but-good Dell monitor just fine. I read about issues with Mac HDMI ports so it is probably best to just use the USB-C ports. I appreciate the large number of ports. It is pretty quiet in normal operation and definitely fast enough for the applications I write. In all I am glad I saved money over buying a new M1 Mini.

I absolutely love this MAC Mini! It updated as soon as I plugged it in and had been performing flawlessly. I’m going to buy another one for my remote location.

excellent condition for the price. slow, but expected for 7 year old mac mini. fine as tv pc, for streaming, remote gaming and cloud gaming. bluetooth range is disappointing for couch gaming with wireless controllers. benefits from all the quality bonuses expected from apple products, especially ability to run sequoia, which is beautiful.

Wonderful! Wish I'd bought it sooner!

I ordered one, and it became apparant there was an issue with the HDMI port. After less than a week it stopped working completely. If this had any of my personal information on it, which thankfully it did not, the computer would be a serious problem with leaked privacy concerns when returning the product. Would I have to send it back and trust the manufacturer to wipe it? would i have to repair the hdmi port to ensure it was wiped myself? The only reason why it gets two stars, is for the few days that it was working, it worked quite well, with great picture and sound quality. I am truely disappointed with Amazon, and the lack of ability to make sure products sold on here are worthy, or an absolute lemon. This has been a nightmare, and a serious threat to personal identity and a leak of information. Amazon is hopefully paying attention with regards to the possibility of full scale scam artestry. When a customer decides to input their full identity into their new computer, they can not access the computer to remove the identity when returning the product.

El producto está prácticamente nuevo, estética 9.5/10. Aunque se tardó un poco se pudo actualizar al último sistema operativo (marzo 2024). Se siente un poco lenta pero imagino que es por su año de fabricación. Hasta el momento funciona perfectamente sin problemas.

Everything works perfectly. The only 'defect' is a very small dent along one edge which, even if I was buying new, would not be cause for much concern.

Nos dimos la oportunidad de conocer Mac OS y este equipo a un precio bien competitivo nos deja muy contentos y satisfechos con una experiencia de Apple muy buena. Conclusión, si tienes un iPhone y quieres vivir la experiencia total de integración de teléfono y computadora entonces este tipo de soluciones son muy interesantes.

The Mac Mini would not boot from external disks that ran software other than the factory configuration. This disables a vital feature for us. This is because of the Apple T2 security chip. It took some time to figure out how to overcome the problem. Here's a link to the solution with image: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253199493?login=true Method: I booted into recovery mode. I selected the Secure Boot option and then turned off full security settings & selected the option 'Allow booting from external or removable media. Now I can boot from external SSD disks. Apple is incrementally eradicating user control and customisation. This 'security' obsession Apple has adopted takes away autonomy and the ability to customise from the user, sadly a now increasingly more pushy trend at Apple. It's as if they have decided to take the notorious Microsoft route where its users have to constantly battle against what the community sarcastically identifies as Microsoft 'features'. Come back Steve Jobs!! Anyway it's fixed and the Mac mini is integrated with the other Macs here and can now boot from any external ssd disk. - A versatile and well-priced Mac apart from that problem.

Muy buena la vdd súper fluida actualizada al Sequoia o como se llame que nadie dice sobre eso y creo que es muy importante… la RAM y Disco trae lo que dice y todo funciona muy bien está muy chulo 👌🏻 Venía bien empaquetado
