I have to use PCs at work, but prefer a Mac for everything else. They just work with minimal fuss. But I'm also not willing to shell out the ridiculous sums Apple commands for their silicon powered PCs. So I tend to use the models from years past. This means Mac minis for the past 15 years, since you supply the monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Unfortunately, I reached the end of the line for running the most recent OS X's security updates. Begrudgingly I ordered this refurbished model. It is seriously less expensive than the current Minis, so I had little to lose. Installing it was a no brainer, as expected for Apple. The case only had a tiny, tiny dent on one edge, but is otherwise clean looking. Boot up was quick and transferring from my external Time Machine SSD backup was seamless. Took about 30 minutes to do so. There were hiccups as I upgraded the various software packages installed, that required updates. A week into use, it is running solid with no crashes unlike the old 2014 model I was using. In running, I do think the 8Gb of RAM is a little slowing, but otherwise it runs fine. Since this model can be updated to 64Gb, I think I might splurge on the RAM and see what it can do. The 512Gb SSD included should be the minimum included, given the amount of photos and music one normally accumulates in day to day use. If anything untoward occurs after this posting I will be sure to update. Otherwise, recommended for cheapskate OS X fans. Review: Mac mini 2018 is ok - Excellent product. The physical condition is impeccable, exactly as described by the seller. Performance is solid and can be further enhanced by upgrading the RAM. Fully compatible with macOS 15.7.1. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a Mac at a low cost. ## Features - Eighth-generation 6-core Intel Core i5 processor - Intel UHD Graphics 630 - 8GB 2666MHz DDR4 - Ultrafast SSD storage - Four Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports, one HDMI 2.0 port, and two USB 3 ports ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08HNCFG2J | | Batteries | 1 Product Specific batteries required. | | Best Sellers Rank | #8,167 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) #301 in Mini Computers #781 in Renewed Computers & Accessories | | Brand | Apple | | Card Description | Intel UHD Graphics 630 | | Chipset Brand | Apple | | Color | Silver | | Computer Memory Type | DDR4 SDRAM | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (166) | | Date First Available | September 8, 2020 | | Flash Memory Size | 512 | | Graphics Card Ram Size | 8 GB | | Graphics Coprocessor | Intel UHD Graphics 630 | | Hard Drive | 256 GB SSD | | Hard Drive Interface | Solid State | | Hard Drive Rotational Speed | 14400 RPM | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 8.26 x 8.2 x 3.22 inches | | Item Weight | 3.5 pounds | | Item model number | MXNG2LL/A | | Manufacturer | Apple Computer | | Memory Speed | 2666 GHz | | Number of Processors | 6 | | Number of USB 2.0 Ports | 2 | | Operating System | Mac OS | | Processor | 3 GHz core_i5 | | Processor Brand | Intel | | Product Dimensions | 8.26 x 8.2 x 3.22 inches | | RAM | 8 GB DDR4 | | Series | Mac Mini | | Standing screen display size | 1 Inches | | Wireless Type | 802.11ab | ## Images ![Apple 2018 Mac Mini with 3.0GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD Storage, Gray (Renewed) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31tcPVrCZ5L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: is the ram up gradeable ?** A: Yes, you can upgrade the RAM/Memory in this model. We currently have listed with up to 32GB Memory on ASIN B0BWGBCGFL, you can find by searching that ASIN in the search bar. **Q: Specifically, what version of macOS is installed? It says the latest version. Ventura?** A: I don’t remember exactly which version of software was on the computer when I purchased it. It doesn’t really matter, because when you get the computer running and online, you will be able to upgrade to the latest version anyways, currently Ventura . FWIW it looks like the mac mini 2018 will also be able to run the next version of macOS, Sonoma if and when you would want to upgrade to that version. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far, so good *by E***E on November 3, 2024* I'm admittedly cheap, and a Mac fan.

The physical condition is impeccable, exactly as described by the seller. Performance is solid and can be further enhanced by upgrading the RAM. Fully compatible with macOS 15.7.1. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a Mac at a low cost. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like it for what I use it for Web browsing and music. *by L***N on January 4, 2026* I was in the market for a new desk top instead of constantly using mac book. Great deal and it works fine. I do hear the fan sometimes when i do a lot of heavy lifting tasks but this desktop is still running. ## Frequently Bought Together - 2018 Apple Mac Mini with 3.0GHz Intel Core i5 (8GB RAM, 512GB SSD Storage) Gray (Renewed) - OMOTON Wired Keyboard for Mac with Dual Interface, Comfortable Typing Angle & Stable Connection, Compatible with MacBook, iMac, Mac Mini, PC-White - PEIBO Bluetooth Wireless Mouse for Laptop mac MacBook ipad MacBook air MacBook pro pc Desktop Computer Windows Chromebook Notebook (Silver) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/227178805-apple-2018-mac-mini-with-3-0ghz-intel-core-i5](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/227178805-apple-2018-mac-mini-with-3-0ghz-intel-core-i5) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
