Description
Here for sale today, I present one Apple Mac mini from a simpler time, when Apple still believed users might like to upgrade things themselves. An era before everything was glued together and tightly sealed with the tears of repair technicians.
This thing has survived 15 years of technological evolution, several versions of MacOS nobody asked for, and at least three global financial crises. It remains operational.
Frankly, so do a lot of us.
The Important Bits
- Intel Core i5 2.3GHz
- 8GB DDR3 RAM
- 1TB SSD AND 1TB Hard Drive
- (2TB total internal storage)
- Intel HD Graphics 3000
- macOS High Sierra 10.13.6
- Wi-Fi + Bluetooth
- Gigabit Ethernet
- HDMI
- SD Card slots
- Plenty of USB ports
Boots from the SSD, because waiting for hard drives is a hobby best left in the past, while the additional 1TB hard drive is there for the overflow of files you've been meaning to organise since 2017.
Ideal Uses
- Plex server
- Jellyfin server
- File server
- Time Machine backups
- Home Assistant
- Music collection hoarding
- Family photo storage
- Download box
- Running quietly in a cupboard for years while everyone forgets it exists
With 2TB of internal storage already installed, it's basically begging to become the heart of a home media setup
Load it with movies. Load it with TV shows. Load it with every MP3 you've ever legally acquired
Things It Can Do
- Stream media
- Share files
- Browse the web
- Play YouTube
- Sit under a TV looking sophisticated
- Consume surprisingly little power
Things It Can't Do
- Run the latest macOS
- Replace a modern gaming PC
- Edit the next Avatar movie (unless standards have slipped dramatically. Honestly, I stopped watching after the first one)
Why Am I Selling It?
Because I own more computers than common sense would typically prescribe.
Good working order. As is, where is.
