Apple Mac Mini A1347 Late 2012 Core i5 2.5GHz 8GB RAM 500GB SSD Catalina.

Plus, Apple doesn't make the quad-cores anymore. Late 2012 Mac Mini 16gb Intel Quad Core i7 (Excellent) 289.99. Highly recommend! You'll save at least $5 00 or more over buying a high end new one that you can't upgrade. Plus, I can upgrade the HD in the Mac Mini if I need more space in the future. Apple Mac Mini Computer - Intel Core i7-3615QM 2.30GHZ Quad (turbo up to 3.30GHz), 8GB DDR3 RAM, 256GB SSD, MacOS v10. The high end 27' features a Quad-Core i5 processor, which is upgradable to a Quad-Core i7. The 21.5' models now feature the Core i3 processor, but these are upgradable to the Core i5. My configuration is a quad-core i7 2.6 Ghz Mac Mini with 16GB RAM and 1TB Samsung SSD and it's blazing fast and handles my large iPhoto and iTunes libraries like a champ and doesn't hesitate one bit. On July 27, 2010, Apple updated its line of iMacs to feature the new Intel Core 'i-series' processors across the line. I have a huge iPhoto library with over 15 years of pictures and 65000+ photos and the Intel Core Duo, 4GB of RAM and slower hard drive just couldn't keep up. Im going to purchase a Mac Mini late 2012 with these specs: CPU: Intel i7 2.3 GHz quad-core (i7-3615QM) Memory: 16 GB RAM 1600 MHz GPU: Intel HD Graphics 4000 Storage: Crucial MX500 500 GB SSD Main use: browse internet, mail, YT videos, office suite, iTunes, adobe photoshop, 1080p mkv videos on vlc player.

I bought this to replace an aging 24' 2007 iMac Intel Core Duo that was at max capacity with only 4GB of RAM and still has the original 5400RPM HD.

The Mac Mini is the most bang for your buck if you want a Mac and these late 2012 models are the last of the models that are user-upgradable. Great product! Last of the user-upgradable Mac minis.
