A Mac mini late 2012 is still a good choice? 2. Apple Mac Mini 6,2 (Late 2012) Intel Core i7-3615QM 2.3 GHz quad-core processor 16 GB DDR3-1600 memory 128 GB solid state drive 1 TB 5400 RPM hard drive The Mac Mini is built to run OS X 10.8, but Ubuntu 12.04.1 runs nicely with a couple of tweaks. The audio-in port on Mac Minis is a line-level port, meaning that a standard PC microphone may not be audible without some sort of amplifier. The Mac mini 2012 is already the oldest Mac mini model that can run Mojave. Installing required the “noapic” flag (F6 when at the boot menu) Answer. The Mac mini (2.6GHz Intel Core i7, Late 2012) is the build-to-order iteration of the Mac mini (2.5GHz Intel Core i5, Late 2012) but with a faster top-class Intel processor. As such in terms of Mac mini models it is at greatest risk is loosing support when 10.15 is launched. We knew from the get-go (thanks to 9to5Mac for sharing a compatibility list!) The 2012 Mac Mini held a special place in many hearts thanks to how easy it was to upgrade.
In this video, I swap the hard drive out in a Late-2012 Mac Mini.
