FS: Late 2014 Mac Mini - sold

geetarguy85

Hi all, 

I've decided to sell my Mac Mini on account of it being used less than once a month in the 2 years I've owned it!

I bought it in January 2015 intending to use it for iOS development and as a home studio, but in practice it just lived in the study and I mainly used my laptop for convenience. 

It's a great little machine and is a joy to use, fantastic if you need a Mac but don't want to enter the world of £800+ base spec laptops!

Spec:
500GB Hard Drive 

Intel i5 1.4GHz processor 

4GB RAM

Looking for £330 £310 £300 delivered or £310 £290 £280 collected from Bromsgrove. Can potentially meet in nearby areas and Leamington/Gaydon.

High GG85, is that the version you can upgrade the ram and the hdd if you wish?

I may be interested in this but at the risk of losing the chance to buy I can recommend these to Mac users looking for a mac experience with low budget. I connected mine to a Dell U2515H at 2560 x 1440 excellent quality. Runs cubase, Reaper, Ableton like a dream. Time machine is a godsend: if a hard disk fails just plug into the Mac and restore everything (settings and all) within a couple of hours.

Hi @notanon - as far as I know the late 2014 model has the RAM soldered directly to the motherboard. The HDD can be replaced but it's a bit of a challenge (see: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac+Mini+Late+2014+Hard+Drive+Replacement/32815)

They are great little machines, I just don't use it very much due to being too lazy to move to the study!

4GB should still run fine all the above. I replaced my Mac 27 inch with a Mac mini and I don't miss the 27inch and I certainly didn't miss paying £1600 for the Mac. To be fair a 2560 x 1440 top quality glass panel display when I bought the iMac 27 would have cost a fortune anyway.

Does this have a Firewire input or is it the later 2 X Thunderbolt inputs?

geetarguy85

Hi @SRich - the 2014 models have 2 thunderbolt ports, no FireWire.

Thanks for the response, but in the words of Duncan Bannatyne...."I'm Out".........

No worries!
