Extremely happy with my refurbished MAC Mini.
July 3, 2025
I had high hopes when I entered the to look for refurbished options and found Mac mini to suite my budget. I ticked some boxes and made payment. As per usual, I immediately got my repsonse and had to wait for the delivery. It took roughy a week, International delivery. I opened the parcel and was happy to have found it safe and no marks. The packaging was well packed and one couldn't tell this was a refurbished unit. The folks even installed the latest macos on it. Very happy with my purchase and for sure will come back for more. I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from Apple Mac mini (2018) 3.2GHz 6-Core i7 - Used, Good condition.

Flawless performance!
June 28, 2025
After enduring 30 minute startups with a 2012 Mac Mini ( thanks for nothing, Adobe Cloud!), I looked for a new Mac… alas, Apple at the moment only offers two Mini configurations, neither matching my needs….so settled on a used 2018… at a very attractive price, backed with a guarantee! Best takeaways? Works like a champ! I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from Apple Mac mini (2018) 3.2GHz 6-Core i7 - Used, Very Good condition.

Used Mac Mini 2018 purchase
June 17, 2025
Actually this should be for: “ Apple Mac mini, 3.2GHz 6-Core i7 "Late 2018" with 32GB DDR4, 512GB SSD, 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, Used, Excellent condition”
Not one in Very Good condition. Not sure why the review had it that way.
Other than that, arrived packaged well. I was able to update it to Sequoia w/o any issues. Seems to be running fine (it does run warm, but it is Intel, so that’s to be expected).
Shipped and received in about a week. I’ve been purchasing from Macsales since as long as I can remember, never been disappointed even when I had to deal with returns, etc. Thanks - JQ.

Mac Sales is Great! Apple needs to improve user experience..
May 6, 2025
The computer arrived sooner than expected, very securely packed, and has worked better than expected. The only hiccup was during the initial set up, Apple's set up software didn't give an option to connect a bluetooth keyboard. This may work fine with an Apple keyboard, but it didnt see my third party one. There is no option to configure bluetooth keyboard and I thought I was stuck having to buy an wired or Apple keyboard just to setup my computer, until I found some very helpful post online (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/how-do-you-pair-a-bluetooth-keyboard-to-a-mac-during-macos-setup.2217028/) that explained how to get to the system prefrences from the setup software. This is a big miss by Apple. While I was searching for a solution I came across many first time Mac users who had just bought the M4 MacMini, and hit the same snag. I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from Apple Mac mini (2018) 3.2GHz 6-Core i7 - Used, Good condition.

Not very good condition, and unit miraculously fixes itself.
January 4, 2025
There were multiple issues with the computer when I tried to hook it up, from video issues to freezing to getting really hot just two minutes into initial setup but then the fan kicked in and it stuttered and clicked and was either super dirty or on borrowed time, I returned the unit and was told that none of the issues could be duplicated. …say what? Okay, we can have different connection set-ups, freezing can be random, and everybody seems to have a different opinion about how hot a cpu can safely get and for what reasons but an old clunky poorly running fan can’t fix itself, it just can’t. If and that’s a big IF there is that much free floating detritus in the unit that it happened to clear itself on the journey back for the fan to suddenly run smoothly then it wasn’t serviced thoroughly and that makes it a product I can’t trust and do not want, the condition description, I have come to learn, is only the aesthetics of the housing.
