Hello! I am looking for a new Mac Mini for my brother to use, and I'm running through different scenarios in my head when it comes to buying one and how much I want to pay.
Option 1) I buy a 2014 and update it to 8 gigs of RAM bringing to total to $600. If I really had to, I'd just stay at 4 gigs and he can live with it for now. He doesn't need to upgrade to i7 or anything.
Option 2) I buy a 2012 refurb with baseline specs and he can upgrade the RAM when he needs to and I save a few bucks, unless they're available. The thing is, I'd like to get this doe ASAP and the Apple Online Store doesn't have any right now. If I were to go this route, do you guys know of any trusted resellers online?
Thanks for your help!
