Apple - Mac mini - Intel Core i5 (2.6GHz) - 8GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive - Silver
- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Intel 4th Generation Core i5 (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- Storage Type: HDD
- Total Storage Capacity: 1000 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 8 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)

- Processor Model Number: 2.6GHz Intel Core i5 Dual-Core
- Storage
- Storage Type: HDD
- Total Storage Capacity: 1000 gigabytes
- Hard Drive Capacity: 1000 gigabytes (The amount of data that can be stored on the device's mechanical hard drive. Hard disk drives (HDDs) typically have larger capacities than solid state drives (SSDs) but may have slower speeds.)
- Hard Drive RPM: 5400 revolutions per minute (A hard drive's data is stored on disks, or platters, that spin while transferring information to the host system. The higher the RPM, the faster the hard drive's performance.)
- Memory
- System Memory (RAM): 8 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
- Type of Memory (RAM): LPDDR3 (Each type of RAM delivers a different level of speed, bandwidth, energy efficiency and performance.)
- System Memory RAM Speed: 1600 megahertz (How fast the information-storing hardware operates. The faster the RAM, the faster memory can be transferred to other system components. Ultimately, faster RAM improves operational efficiency.)
- System Memory RAM Expandable To: 16 gigabytes (Adding more random-access memory (RAM) to a computer speeds up performance and improves efficiency. Upgrades to memory are limited by the number of expansion slots for additional RAM and existing RAM installed on the device.)
- Compatibility
- Operating System: Mac OS (The operating system manages all software and hardware, including files, memory and connected devices. Most importantly, it lets you interact with your device and your programs in a visual way; otherwise, you'd be typing computer code to get anything done.)
- Connectivity
- Number of Thunderbolt Ports (Total): 2
- Number of VGA Ports: 0 (VGA (Video Graphics Adapter or Video Graphics Array) is a display standard that transmits via analog signals. This type of interface is typically used to connect a computer to a display device such as a monitor, projector, or TV.)
- Number Of DVI Ports: 0
- Features
- Media Card Reader: true (A hardware device that allows for access to data on a memory card and enables the transfer of its files to a computer. These devices may have one or multiple slots for various types of memory cards, and may be integrated into the computer or available as an external device.)
- Mac Features: Siri

Mac mini now has fourth-generation Intel Core processors, increased graphics performance, and ultrafast 802.11ac wireless networking. It also features two Thunderbolt 2 ports, great built-in apps, and OS X Yosemite. And it's still the world's most power-efficient desktop.

- Power cord
A: No, not really. I had a 2011 Mac Mini died on me so I just bought a new one. The most current Mac Mini's are ALL late 2014 models. I did not realize that when I bought it. The worst part is you cannot put in your own RAM to upgrade unless you know how to undo soldered parts. So technically I bought a 3 year old Mac model whose RAM I cannot upgrade. It is slightly faster than my 2011 model and the hard drive is bigger so there are some benefits but if I had done my homework properly, I might have gone another route.
A: This should fit your needs pretty well, but I prefer a LOT more RAM working with Photoshop and the rest of the Adobe suite. I'm running CS5, because I can OWN it... Apple, it's rumored, is supposed to be coming out with a Mini aimed more at the Professional, possibly in Sept., 2018.
A: No problem with mine, I’m running the same set up.
A: It passes audio also. So does the mini display port.
A: This is the 2014 model. Unfortunately, the RAM is soldered in, so no upgrading. The HD can be replaced but it'd be tricky. Instead of downsizing, you can partition the drive into two 500 GB drives (although it'd be closer to 475GB each)
A: Your mid-2011 model iMac MIGHT be upgradeable, both RAM and hard drive. That said, yes, a Mac Mini should be able to attach to your current monitor. What you need to do is figure out which cord is needed to go from your new Mac Mini to your old iMac monitor, as it may require purchasing an adapter (they are widely available). Hope this helps!
Q: Is this a new or refurbished unit?
A: Yes, this hard drive is new.
A: There is no video input on an iMAC. So therefore, it would not work.
