Looks good and easier to use Mac Mini late 2014 YES!!

This particular one is from 2016, on the late 2014 design. Has 8GB of ram, and 1TB hard drive. A little slow, but can have the hard drive upgraded to a SSD drive. Have an old Macbook Pro I put a solid state drive in it, and it screams now. I have upgraded to High Sierra in it now and used Migration Assistant to transfer most files from windows. Can't do much about the Ram memory though, but still has 4 usb 3.0 ports, 1 HDMI,, 2 Thunderbolt 2.0, SD slot. Really solid computer with a great operating system. Looked on eBay an found many item for this like, keyboard, mouse, usb superdrive. Paid less money than the computer would have cost me by itself new..Read full review

Know your Product

I did not do my research and found out that my 2014 unit is too hard to upgrade, the ram is soldered in, so to upgrge it new ram would need to be soldered in.
Also, it requires you to totally disasemble the unit to get to the HD to replace it with a larger one or a solid state one.The standerd HD is a 5400rpm unit and is too slow, a solid state HD would increase the operating speed as it does in my other apple computer.
I may be looking for a pre-2014 unit that can be upgraded by only removing the bottom cover.

Macs are the best

Have used Macs for years. Never learned to work on PC. This is my 2nd mini. Have used towers and other Mac products when working and home use but loved the mini from the start. I am 77 years old and for however much longer I use computers it will be an Apple product.Read full review

Great value to use as a home server!

Great value to use as a home server! Five years old but still runs the current Mac OS and is whisper quiet. Four USB3 ports makes it great for external drives. This replaced a 15-year-old headless PC server (running Windows XP Pro)Read full review

Great Value!

This specific configuration was pulled out of a server cluster so it fits my needs perfectly. Good processors (Dual core i5 2.66 MHz), quiet SSD (256G), and max RAM ( 16 G in case I want to do some serious programming).
Full disclosure though, I mainly surf, Spotify, and stream video with this machine and it handles all that flawlessly!

Short and Sweet

I was looking for a relatively cheap Apple desktop solution for browsing/media streaming within macOS from a local custom Windows HTPC server, and this fits the bill nicely. Definitely worth it to have max RAM and the PCIe SSD as far as running multiple apps and fast load times go. Dead silent, zero footprint and keeps up with multi-tasking very well. Occasional animation lag when mousing over the dock, but it could be software related.Read full review

Latest mac mini is almost 3 years old.

You can save a bundle on a pre-owned, especially since apple's profit margin has been considerably enhanced due to lower component prices.

Great value!

The lady for whom I procured this computer is ecstatic with it. For her it has been a release from the frustration she experienced with a PC running Windows Vista. She had priced one like it locally, at nearly twice the price charged on eBay for this one. That left her budgetary room for an optical drive snd sound system to enhance her computing experience.

Very pleased about the quality and price for this item.

beautiful design

its great to have a Mac that small. it fits into your bag and can easily be carried about if need be, but for me its sitting in my living room as my entertainment hub, yet its a Mac. the only problem I have with is that it gets hot and slows down , with that ever rolling ball showing and sometimes to a freezing point I'll have to restart the systemRead full review
