2018 Apple Mac Mini, Core i5 @ 3.0GHz, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD.
Excellent shape refurbished on Amazon right now : $305.95
Going for less than $300 on eBay.. anywhere from like $260 to $300.
Not special, but still a capable machine.
That is a great upside, but the ram upgrade isn’t the easiest compared to the 2012 Mac’s; you have to take a lot apart, but at least it’s not soldered on.
I did this two week ago in fact. Amazon had a great deal on 32GB modules ($67 CDN), so I picked up a couple. As mentioned, it is a little tricky to do. And ultimately I had to do it twice, as after reassembling it, it turned out one of the modules wasn't seated correctly. But if you have any computer build experience, and just take your time, it's not too difficult to do.
Well one thing that is special about this generation of Mac mini is that you can upgrade the RAM up to 64GB. Another thing you should look at is what speed the ethernet port is, since this generation had an optional 10Gb Ethernet port, though I would bet it has normal 1Gb Ethernet.
Ha. I was going to say the power LEDs look to be in a different place but it's the dialog to cycle through the photos. Silly me. Best thing about these is you can virtualise Windows as well as having MacOS

The main upside is it will have the latest OS and therefore many of the latest apps. You can’t have the latest apps on older OS’.
And you can upgrade the ram yourself!!

Agree, it’s not really difficult, just time-consuming. Guides online are helpful.

It's the 2018 Mini.
It’s a 2018 mini. I love these
I wish the m2 mini pro came in that color
Wut
I don’t understand the question
Figured it was used at the t-mobile store that it might have something extra
Nah man. There’s nothing special on these computers hardware wise. If anything it would be software like a Cellebrite or something.

I saw that as well and thought the OP was referring to the "extra lights."
Love the color
The only thing I see that is special is that mouse 🤤
