![]() In comparison Mac minis from 2011 and earlier have only USB 2, and those from 2010 and earlier still have optical drives. Newer Mac minis (from 2014 onwards) have RAM soldered onto the logicboard, and space for only one hard disk. Yes, 2014 Mac Minis have faster 802.11ac Wi-Fi, but that’s not what I am looking for. (Tangent: a really budget alternative would be to go for a A1283 2009 Mac mini (the last of the generation with plastic on the top of the housing), use a patched version of macOS (see compatibility here), put 8Gb of RAM in it, and replace the DVD drive with a SSD in a caddy. Late 2012 Mac minis with core i7 processors go for over 300 Euro and that was more than I wanted to spend, so a core i5 2.5GHz is what it would have to be… So where do you find an appropriate Mac mini? In Germany on or eBay Kleinanzeigen (the latter is like Gumtree or CraigsList for the non Germans reading).
