Hello. I'm planning to purchase tomorrow a used Mac mini from 2015. It's the Haswell model, at 2.6GHz and 8GB of RAM. My only concern here is the RAM memory, but it is impossible to find a Mac mini with 16GB. And this model doesn't have upgradeable RAM, so I will stick with 8GB. The good thing...

Hello, I'm having a very strange problem with my Mac Mini 2014. My Mac Mini was using High Sierra and I believe it is possible it was having a software update when I had a power outage yesterday. When power was restored, I've been unable to get it to properly boot. When I turn it on, the...

Hi, I just bought a new mac mini from Apple and my gradients are banding in photoshop. I don't think it's the monitor as I've swapped screens and it's the same on both. I don't think it's photoshop as it works fine on my old mac. The new mac is a mac mini (late 2014 but it is brand new). 2.6GHz...

Hey everyone! I need your advice. 2 days ago I replaced my Mac Mini's (Late 2014) HDD with Samsung 850 Pro 250GB SSD. First day was fine but today I noticed that it was terribly hot on the surface. During almost 3 years of usage it's never been this hot. I just followed a guide on youtube...

I just purchased a refurbished late-2014 2.8GHz, 8GB, 1TB Fusion Mac Mini for £650 direct from Apple. I got it primarily because my early-2008 Mac Pro (Quad Core, 12GB, 2x 256GB SSD and still going strong!) isn't supported by macOS Sierra. As I'm an iOS developer I felt I just had to be running...
