Apple Mac mini (Late 2018) Core i7 3.2GHz 6-core 8th Gen, 32GB RAM, 128GB PCIe SSD, Wi-Fi + Bluetooth, MacOS Mojave 10.14.1 - Space Gray

Let me first start out by saying that this is a good desktop. It is outdated, but anything that can run macOS and is new at $340 is truly a miracle these days.I bought this desktop to use as a normal internet browsing/productivity computer to use with a desktop monitor or connected to my TV. The reason I chose this over just another Windows mini PC is because the Mac experience. When using this computer, the OS is snappy, it hasn’t crashed on me once, I haven’t even heard a fan once, the graphics/visuals are very nice, there is TONS of RAM, and the Intel i7, even though it is a little old, is a very reliable and sturdy CPU. Another amazing benefit of this computer is how sturdy the build quality is and how small the actual desktop is. Everything in the description matches the product I got, but the OS was a slightly newer Monterey instead of the Mojave.About the specs: this Mac Mini from late 2018 has an older 8th generation Intel Core i7 which feature 6 all-performance cores and is almost equivalent performance-wise to the latest Intel desktop i3 (except for in single core applications). It also has a massive amount of RAM at 32GB, it isn’t very fast RAM for DDR4 as of 2024, but again it is an older computer. It has a small 128GB of SSD storage which is disappointing to be honest, but you can add more storage to it with a external drive or a dock with a drive slot inside of it (just search on Amazon “Mac Mini Dock” and you’ll see). In terms of ports, it has 4 usb-c ports, 2 usb-a ports, 1 HDMI port, 1 headphone jack, 1 ethernet port, and its standard power port. The WiFi and Bluetooth are older types, but I can use a keyboard from 15 feet away with no problem and the WiFi reception I feel is stronger than my M2 MacBook Air.In summary, if you are looking for a reliable and affordable desktop that has the full Mac experience, and are fine with a little older technology, this desktop is for you. If you don’t care about its small size or the ability to run macOS, just go and make yourself a custom PC and you can get something around the likes of a Ryzen 5600GT for the same price. I am really happy Woot sold this computer at such a great price and I am very satisfied with my purchase. I hope more retailers list more products like this for the people who want good quality PCs on a budget.

What can I say here? A great product at a great price. New old stock that Apple upgraded to the current IOS. Nothing but good news here.

I got a great deal on this Mac Mini, brand new. Works great. My complain is Apple. I bought this to replace my old Mac Mini that you could upgrade the HDD but you couldn’t upgrade the RAM. I bought this Mac Mini assuming I could just upgrade the hard drive, nope not this model. You can upgrade the RAM though. I wish I knew this ahead of time and I would have bought one with a larger hard drive. Apple really needs to make these so that you can upgrade both the RAM & SSD/HDD.

Wow, it really was brand new! As a C++ developer, I spend a lot of time compiling and linking various libraries and applications for macOS; in addition, although I primarily develop on an M4 Mac Studio, I need to make sure my apps will work flawlessly on Intel systems. This system has been great for this purpose and a real performer. I would recommend this system to anyone who develops for macOS, especially for this price!

Works great and great value

Mac Mini 2 is brand new and as advertised. On a side note, be advised, if you plan on using a monitor other than an Apple monitor like me (in this case a 16" Arzopa monitor) apparently with mac mini's you need a HIGH quality 8k? HDMI cord (less than 5', ideally less) since mac mini's supposedly don't have a built in voltage regulator like desktops (no space for one). Any slight variation in voltage can cause the monitor to cut out (go black) for a few seconds fairly regularly (bananas). Since replacing the HDMI that came with the monitor, I haven't had a problem. This issue apparently can be related to several things i.e, graphics card, or the monitor itself. First try replacing the HDMI if that is how you plan on setting it up....to date however, the issue continues periodically altho less frequently. Compatibility issue?? Who knows.

Item was fast and worked well. However, one of the main apps I needed to use with it requires an M1 or better chip. This Mac has an Intel chip. For that reason I needed to return it. If it weren’t for that I would have kept it and been perfectly happy with it. Still recommend it though in spite of that. It was me, not it.

The MacMini i7 32gig ram is great. I use mine as a local web server, fileserver, Plex server, as will as a cache server for all my Mac's to cache to.
