Unlike the 2012 version, the new Mac mini's black, circular bottom panel can't be easily twisted off, and you can no longer swap out the RAM or storage. You'll now have to pry open the panel with a tool (we used a screwdriver), and the only removable component is the PC's Wi-Fi module.




2014 Mac Mini Used For Sale



The Mac mini scored 5,443 on the Geekbench 3 test, which measures a machine's overall performance. This score is lower than the Intel NUC's 6,039, (1.6-GHz, 5th-gen Core i5, 8GB of RAM), the ThinkCentre M83's 8,522 (2-GHz Core i5-4590T, 8GB of RAM) and the 7,013 all-in-one PC average. The Mac mini performed almost identically to Apple's 2014 iMac all-in-one (5,464), which packs the same processor as the mini but with 8GB of RAM.


The 2014 Mac mini (starting at $499) is an attractive, affordable and efficient OS X machine. The PC's Thunderbolt 2 ports and Intel Iris Pro graphics support will come in handy for creative professionals and power users, while the machine's 4th-gen Intel Core i5 processor provides more than enough power for Web surfing and entertainment. And though it's not the most miniature mini PC around, the Mac mini still looks slick on your desk or next to your TV.


It may seem odd at first, yet the Mac mini is mostly used to power up another device making it more of a flexible purchase. For example, if you already have a screen, keyboard and mouse, you can pair these with the Mac mini instead of purchasing new ones (although you can opt for the Mac mini to arrive with them).


The end result is a spreadsheet full of dozens of Macs, with multiple metrics for determining how long each one received official software support from Apple. These methods included measuring the amount of time between when each model was discontinued and when it stopped receiving updates, which is particularly relevant for models like the 2013 Mac Pro, 2014 Mac mini, and 2015 MacBook Air that were sold for multiple years after they were first introduced.


If you keep your old Mac around and you buy one soon before the last one is sold, you should be fine for a while. But eventually Apple will stop supporting your Mac with OS upgrades and you will be stuck. And as Logos moves on your software will lag behind. You won't be able to upgrade to the latest software. And of course your machine will get slower and slower as well, every time you upgrade. For example, my 2014 Macbook Pro runs great for now but I can't use the new SideCar feature with my iPad as my Mac is too old! In a few years time my Mac probably won't work anymore. I sold my previous Mac to my sister and she used it for a year or two and the discrete graphics card stopped working. It could not be repaired and she had to buy a new machine! 2ff7e9595c
