Great machine at a great price
January 10, 2022
I got this for my wife's Xmas present and, boy, was she surprised. She set it up and was up and running in no time. Immediately upgraded to Monterey and now is installing all her software (which will take some time). I only wish that it had supported a more capacious SSD, but a fast HDD connected to a USB-C port takes care of that.
It's connected to a 27˝ 4K monitor via HDMI and it's a sight to behold. And there's where Apple's lack of interest comes in. This Mini doesn't support display sleep properly. The display shuts down and doesn't come back, requiring a reboot. She was with an Apple service rep for hours and it's a bug that Apple acknowledges but won't fix. It's not a huge deal but it's irksome since Apple tends to withdraw feature support and just digs in.
Other than that, she's very happy with her machine and she's looking forward to many hours of creative work.
I highly recommend this Mini model, display deep coma mode notwithstanding. I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from Apple Mac mini (2018) 3.6GHz Core i3 - New, Factory Sealed, Opened for Upgrade Only.

Al the folks at MacSales that I worked with were great!
January 10, 2022
Before ordering this Mac Mini, I needed information about my best path to migrate the data and programs from my old Mini to the new one. This Mini provides remote access for a NAS drive and hosts backup software for that drive. The changeover needed to be as efficient as possible. And I was also going trade-in the old Mini.
Everyone was knowledgeable, prompt, and accurate! I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from Apple Mac mini (2018) 3.6GHz Core i3 - New, Factory Sealed, Opened for Upgrade Only.

Last of the Intel Minis
November 22, 2021
Worked fine out of the box. My 2013 iMac 27 is dying and this is a fine holdover 'til the M1Pro... Minis arrive. It's easily up to the old iMac seen through a nice 27 inch Dell 4K monitor, much less total cost than a new Intel iMac. The Intel integrate graphics hold up OK for 4K videos, and I'm not a serious gamer . I would recommend this item to a friend!

September 28th, 2021 Ordered a Mac Mini (current model) going forward to today October 10th, 2021 still waiting to receive my parcel. Purolator takes for ever to ship anything to Canada, adding perjury to insult the same model I payed $649 for is reduced to $629 !!!

Hi Gerasimo! All used Macs go through a 2-3 business day pretest before they are shipped out. When you placed your order, you selected PuroPost International; other shipping methods are more expensive and bill the taxes and duties after the shipment. I'll be contacting you by other means about the difference in price; Used Macs have a number of factors that affect the price, including memory, storage, and physical condition.
