The Mac Mini (late 2014) Core i5 1.4GHz, 8GB RAM, 500GB HDD, is despite it’s small size, a surprisingly powerful little desktop. For everyday tasks, the Mac Mini will happily perform with minimal delay. Fortunately, this was a custom to order version with the additional 8GB RAM, which makes a huge difference, in combination with the Core i5 Turbo Boost to 2.7GHz. Capability makes this a very capable and powerful machine. For added performance boost, you could replace the internal hard drive, or, thanks to thunderbolt 2 or USB 3 ports, add an SSD without having to take the Mac Mini to pieces. I’ve added a Crucial MX500 SSD, housed in an Inatec USB 3 UASP enclosure, as an external boot drive and the Mac Mini zooms along with minimal fuss. A significant boost over the internal 5400rpm Hard Drive. It is a great combination. If your requirements are less demanding, the internal Hard Drive, will likely be fine. Power consumption wise, this thing feels like it runs on virtually nothing. It barely even gets warm. This is a very power efficient desktop. I’m running mine with an Apple Cinema HD 23” Display and the latest generation of Magic KeyBoard, Mouse 2 and TrackPad, which help open up a whole new dimension of interactivity. I’m absolutely loving the Mac Mini. It’s a surprising little machine, which has so far not disappointedVollständige Rezension lesen

These computers are still sold new by Apple, being very expensive and a bad ideal since the internals are from 2014. If bought used they can be very ok and an inexpensive way to have a Macintosh. For regular users, the hardware is still adequate (except for the 5400 rpm HDD which is terrible). One downside is that components which could be replaced by a user in previous Mac mini generations come soldered (ram and hard drive). Regarding the hard drive one can use an external SSD as boot volume, thanks to the USB 3.0 interface.

I had to change the hard drive and put an SSD in because it was extremely slow. I think it’s because the standard hard drive is only a 5400rpm. With the SSD it’s extremely fast. It also runs the latest version of Nac OS. Physically it’s nice and small and elegant and whisper quiet. Fantastic product

The basic product is now 7 years old and virtually unusable with Big Sur as it is so slow. However after adding a bootable external SSD it is working well. A cheap way to get a Mac but some knowledge required.

Great small product to use as media streamer. Only limitation with this model is ram cannot be upgraded. Apart from that delighted with experience.
