Oldie but goodie

Use the Mini exclusively for photo editing with a stand-alone version of Lightroom. Had older compatible OSX version installed with an SSD. Condition as-described, and all working well. Coupled with an Apple Cinema Display. Very pleased with my purchase! I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from Apple Mac mini (2012) 2.6GHz Quad Core i7 - Used, Excellent condition.

Love my old but new-to-me computer. Works great!
February 12, 2024
The machine arrived well packed and was truly in excellent condition as advertised. In fact it looks brand new. It replaced an identical machine that I bought back in 2012 but that had unfortunately failed. After swapping in my old SSD the new machine picked up exactly where the dead machine left off and I didn't have to incur the expense of buying new and reconfiguring all over again. The Apple Silicon machines are great but the Intel i7 has plenty of power and keeping the old machine going is much cheaper. I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from Apple Mac mini (2012) 2.3GHz Quad Core i7 - Used, Excellent condition.

Used Mac, excellent condition
January 22, 2024
I wanted a machine that would still run Mojave (32-bit app needs) to replace my recently deceased 2012 i7 Mini. It had been my desktop for years, but was relegated to basement file-server duty when my Mac Studio arrived -- until it gave up the ghost. So a 2012 i5 from MacSales fit my replacement needs at a very reasonable cost. After a little time opening it up to swap in the drives from my i7, it was as if nothing had changed. I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from Apple Mac mini (2012) 2.5GHz Dual Core i5 - Used, Excellent condition.

Good price for just what I needed
June 7, 2023
I found the exact Mac Mini I was looking for to replace the same model I've been using for years for a media computer. The price and build was just as I hoped and it works just fine. I've bought Mac stuff from OWC in the past and it's always worked great for me. If you're looking for a used Mac this is the place to go. Upgrades to a Mac you already have then this is also the place to go. I would recommend this item to a friend!

'Mint condition' means exactly that!
February 23, 2023
Could not be happier with this Mac mini. Visually, it is flawless, with only the smallest of scuffs underneath to give a hint it has been used. OWC's configuration was exactly as I asked for, and it arrived much faster than expected. The machine has been put to work in it's new life as a backup device, mirroring my email (was a victim of the Rackspace email disaster) and mirroring my Time Machine backups.

New life for old Mac Mini
February 15, 2023
Purchase received promptly after purchase, in good packaging, and to me, in like-new condition. Everything worked properly, although slowly, due to the original hard drive. Set up an SSD as the boot drive, and replaced the installed 4 mb of memory with 16 mb (also from MacSales/OWC), so my new old Mac Mini is now part of my Apple system, with my iPhone 12 Pro and iPads, with only a very affordable price. I couldn't be any more satisfied with my purchase and MacSales.com. I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from Apple Mac mini (2012) 2.5GHz Dual Core i5 - Used, Very Good condition.

Great value. Prompt delivery
December 30, 2022
I wanted a second Mac to use in my home music studio. It didn't have to be state of the art-- just reliable and able to run Garageband to record via a 4 input USB audio interface. This fit the bill perfectly. The price was very reasonable and the communication and delivery were prompt.
