Great computer, great price
September 8, 2021
This was top of the line in 2014. Old, yes, but still very capable and upgradable to Monterey. I have been using it for about a month now and have had no problems with it hardware-wise. I intend to squeeze a few more years out of it until moving to the Apple silicon Mini version. I would recommend this item to a friend!

A little elbow grease to Catalina, great buy.
September 6, 2021
Be sure to also buy a Thunderbolt 2 cable from OWC. Also DO NOT format the SSD as AFP (at first), let the Catalina installer “convert” it. Then plug in your old Mac (mine was an i5 2012), migration took just over an hour instead of 8x as long.
Downside of this Mac is Tim Cook made them *much* harder to get into plus soldered RAM, so consider maxing out what you need.
For an i7 this rig runs cooler than I thought it would. I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from Apple Mac mini (2014) 3GHz Dual Core i7 - Used, Excellent condition.
