This the 3rd Mac Mini we have purchased in the last 13 years to be used as a Desktop computer by the family ( have a Macbook pro 2018 for a lap top )- this replaced the late 2014 Mac Mini which was purchased in June of 2015 was beginning to give us trouble with constant beach ball and slowing down could not properly load the Big Sur so we. The 2012 Mac Mini held a special place in many hearts thanks to how easy it was to upgrade. It remains Apple's last properly upgradeable Mac Mini, and even in 2020 can be a pretty handy little computer with the right bits inside. Asterisks indicate important details (such as a different 'official' maximum RAM capacity listed within 'Quick Specs' or other details on the complete specs page). Note that the Mac mini 'Late 2014', DTK, and '2020' and later models cannot have the RAM upgraded at all after purchase. The Apple silicon Mac Mini was preceded by the A12Z-based Developer Transition Kit, a prototype for developers using a Mac Mini enclosure, released on June 22, 2020. It came with 16 GB of RAM, 512 GB of storage, and two USB-C ports that did not support Thunderbolt 3.
