Apple Late 2018 Mac Mini with 3.0GHz Intel Core i5 (8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) Space Gray (Renewed)

I temporary lent my M4 mini to my parents when their Windows based mini-pc wouldn't work properly. Since it was temporary I ended up choosing the 2018 Mac Mini with an 8th gen i5, 8GB Ram, and 256GB SSD. Ideally I wanted a M1 model but I was not willing to pay $257-300 just to use as a media center. If Apple TV came with a browser I’d probably just go with that but we need browser access. The product itself arrived quickly and packaged decently. Mix and match box but that doesn’t really matter. There were some stickers on the Mac and some other red sticky residue. Nothing hard to clean with access to isopropyl alcohol. I was worried about a 7 year old device not being fast enough for our basic usage but was thoroughly surprised. For my parents they can’t tell the difference between the i5 vs M4. So plus one for the performance. I did upgrade the ram myself to 64GB of RAM due to having plenty in my iMac. Apple quality always impresses and all the software needs are compatible with this 7 year old device. I do recommend this device for anyone buying it around $160 or less. To us this performs better than our N5105 NUC for overall performance. WiFi does not have issue compared to the 6900HX in my Beelink PC.

I currently use this Mac mini for general web surfing and video editing and it runs superb! I love the size and that it doesn't take up much space at all on my desk. It's very quiet to where I have to put my hand on top of it to see if it's actually on.

I bought the 2018 Mac mini expecting decent performance for its age but wow, I was seriously impressed. Even though it’s a few years old, it looks practically brand new and runs incredibly smooth. Apple’s build quality really shows here. As of September 2025, it still supports macOS TAHOE, and it runs the new system flawlessly. Apps open quickly, multitasking is easy, and it’s super quiet. Perfect for everyday tasks like browsing, streaming, or productivity work. If you’re thinking about getting a reliable and compact desktop without spending a fortune, this Mac mini is still 100% worth it. Honestly feels like a new machine.

I bought this to go with my monitor I got as a gift. I upgraded it to a newer version of macOS. The sequoia works pretty well. I will say there has been a few glitches on my screen. It will glitch out of nowhere or it will turn the screen off and then come back on. Sometimes when I turn the Mac mini on after turning it off, my wallpaper isn’t the same as what I set it to on my lock screen, but that might just be me. Overall, I love it so much and have worked with iMacs for four years, so being able to use a Mac mini for less money than an iMac and even bigger monitor for less money, is so worth it. It does not overheat as some people say, it only gets warm. It can be quite loud when it comes to the vents but I don’t mind it at all. It is big in size so if you have a small desk, get a stand for it like I did, and it will work so good. Also, if you have a wired keyboard and a usb mouse, and a monitor without a camera, definitely get a usb hub so that you can plug everything in. I have no clue if the speakers work well, simply because my speakers are connected to my monitor. I will say, you kind of have to go into everything and manually turn down the volume on whatever software/website you are using/on. I have my monitor volume pretty low, but if you have like YouTube open, definitely turn the volume down because it blasts it. I don’t know if that’s just me though. I love this a lot though, definitely get it if you’re looking for cheaper options. I don’t expect it to be super quick with speed when loading seeing as it is an older model. I will definitely update if anything is to happen. Lastly, it is such an easy set up!

Fast Shipping!!! Works Perfectly. I use it mainly for Music Production. Runs Great, really fast. I recently switched from PC. Very minor cosmetic blems. But looks great!!! I would definitely do business with this Seller again.

Much better Mac Mini than i was excepting GREAT little PC.

People is better off by the latest model went to slow, not powerful enough for what I needed not worth it

Awesome computer, works great. Bought as a second computer and to try out a mac..

El Mac Mini llegó muy bien, sin contraseñas ni bloqueos, totalmente funcional. Solo presenta un ligero daño en la imagen (carcasa), pero en general trabaja súper bien. Ideal para tareas de oficina o uso personal.

Nice and compact, but powerful processor
