Rating: 5/5 like a dream come true March 25, 2025 I was using a Mac Mini from 2014, it was getting ridiculously slow, I kept putting off doing anything about it. Then I met a guy who told me about MacSales, and so I found a 2020 version of the mini with the M1 chip — OMG, it was like entering a parallel universe, where programs open instantly, even Zoom. So thank you — you are performing a real service!

Rating: 5/5 Perfect Mac mini! November 3, 2023 im glad I caught this Mac mini offered last week since i was looking for an M1 all summer. the outsides are perfect, great shape and everything works great! the only 2 things im not 100% satisfied with are minor. the macmini 2020 was equipped with Sonoma (BigSur was advertised) and would not boot to Monterey, which is why I purchased this version instead of the m2. and there are only 8 cores instead ot the listed 16, no big deal in performance though. Overall I am very happy and glad I made this purchase. this is my 8 or 9th purchase form OWC since last autumn. thank you OWC!

Rating: 5/5 Compact, effective, desktop Mac September 12, 2023 This M1 Mac mini replaces a 2012 mini that was not a fully used computer. I decided to upgrade to have the latest Ventura macOS and more speed and reliability. It delivers. I also decided to get the form-matching Satechi hub for under the Mac. It connects via Thunderbolt and provides USB and SD card ports for data exchange. I can then have my powered USB hard drive, CD drive, and keyboard in the back of the Mac mini. Recommended.

Rating: 5/5 Best Mac mini I've Ever Had. July 6, 2023 Moving from a 2014 Mac mini, running on macOS 10.13 to a 2020 M1 Mac mini, running on macOS 13 was a giant step. There was a little learning curve, but I'm glad I made the leap. OWC Customer Service was great helping me make this decision. Shipping was fast. Overall experience was very good. Just one more reason I have been dealing with OWC for around 30 years. Highly recommended!

I would recommend this item to a friend!

Rating: 5/5 Maximum Mini Experience June 12, 2023 Very pleased with the overall experience. I’d never purchased a used Mac or any other computer. I was delighted with the actual computer. It was in excellent condition. I was reassured by the offering of extended warranty which I ultimately decided to buy into. The website was easy to navigate. I was a previously satisfied customer of OWC/MacSales and remain so.
