Apple - Mac mini - Intel Core i5 (2.6GHz) - 8GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive - White
- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Intel Core 5 Series 1 (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): 16 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.)
- Graphics Type: Integrated (Dedicated graphics uses a separate graphics card for processing video images. Because it does not use memory from the system's RAM, there is no extra burden on the CPU and graphics are processed more efficiently. Integrated graphics shares system RAM to process video images.)
- Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 630 (Often referred to as a "graphics processing unit" (GPU), this device is responsible for displaying image content and decoding/encoding video content in programs and games.)

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.
