Apple Mac mini 32GB 128GB (2018)

Let me first start out by saying that this is a good desktop. It is outdated, but anything that can run macOS and is new at $340 is truly a miracle these days. I bought this desktop to use as a normal internet browsing/productivity computer to use with a desktop monitor or connected to my TV. The reason I chose this over just another Windows mini PC is because the Mac experience. When using this computer, the OS is snappy, it hasn’t crashed on me once, I haven’t even heard a fan once, the graphics/visuals are very nice, there is TONS of RAM, and the Intel i7, even though it is a little old, is a very reliable and sturdy CPU. Another amazing benefit of this computer is how sturdy the build quality is and how small the actual desktop is. Everything in the description matches the product I got, but the OS was a slightly newer Monterey instead of the Mojave. About the specs: this Mac Mini from late 2018 has an older 8th generation Intel Core i7 which feature 6 all-performance cores and is almost equivalent performance-wise to the latest Intel desktop i3 (except for in single core applications). It also has a massive amount of RAM at 32GB, it isn’t very fast RAM for DDR4 as of 2024, but again it is an older computer. It has a small 128GB of SSD storage which is disappointing to be honest, but you can add more storage to it with a external drive or a dock with a drive slot inside of it (just search on Amazon “Mac Mini Dock” and you’ll see). In terms of ports, it has 4 usb-c ports, 2 usb-a ports, 1 HDMI port, 1 headphone jack, 1 ethernet port, and its standard power port. The WiFi and Bluetooth are older types, but I can use a keyboard from 15 feet away with no problem and the WiFi reception I feel is stronger than my M2 MacBook Air. In summary, if you are looking for a reliable and affordable desktop that has the full Mac experience, and are fine with a little older technology, this desktop is for you. If you don’t care about its small size or the ability to run macOS, just go and make yourself a custom PC and you can get something around the likes of a Ryzen 5600GT for the same price. I am really happy Woot sold this computer at such a great price and I am very satisfied with my purchase. I hope more retailers list more products like this for the people who want good quality PCs on a budget.
