MacOS SONOMA + WINDOWS 10 PRO 2012 Mac Mini 2.3GHz QUAD CORE 16GB RAM 2TB SSD

Description: Custom Apple Mac Mini | 2012 2.3GHz - 3.3 GHz QUAD CORE with Turbo Boost Mode | 16GB RAM + 2TB SSD | with MacOS SONOMA + WINDOWS 10 PRO | 1 Year Warranty All product gallery pics are of the exact Mac Mini for sale in this listing so you'll know the exact condition of the unit you're buying here. The Holy Grail of the Mini... Many people refer to the 2012 QUAD CORE Apple Mac Mini as the "HOLY GRAIL" of the Apple Mac Mini line-up... No other Mac Mini since was fully upgradable, utilized a powerful Intel i7 quad core processor (instead of the very slow Intel i5 duo core), used USB 3 input expansion slots instead of the very slow USB 2 slots and had decent graphics power with Intel HD Graphics onboard. All in a tiny package that is very portable and for many people might even replace the need to get a laptop if you mated this Mac Mini with a small portable bus powered monitor and a mini keyboard and mouse. This little powerhouse can still run the latest MacOS "Sonoma" with ease via the help of the "Open Core Legacy Patcher" tool and system extension. Also, unlike the newer M1 or M2 Apple Silicon Mac Minis, this little powerhouse CAN run Windows no problem since it uses Intel processor architecture. This mighty mini is more than powerful enough for the average user's daily driver needs: surfing the web, watching YouTube videos, creating complex PowerPoint presentations, using the new brainstorming Apple app "Freeform" etc, as well as, much more demanding tasks like light to moderate intensity creative content creation like digital painting in the painting app Krita, digital photography in Photoshop, full HD video editing or even 4K video editing if the video was short in duration. The Condition and Specs of the Mini Up For Sale Here In EXCELLENT cosmetic condition and fully tested with a 1 YEAR WARRANTY from TomzGoods. The only cosmetic imperfection on this unit is 1 small scratch on one side panel. See pics for more detail especially the pic with the post-it note calling out this imperfection. See pics for more detail especially the pic with the post-it note calling out this imperfection. As seen in the gallery pic of the insides of this Mac mini, the top of the motherboard, fan and all components on the upper deck of the motherboard have been thoroughly dusted and wiped with anti-static electronic solution to remove excessive dust so the machine runs at as low a temperature as possible. The outside of this Mini have also been thoroughly cleaned with anti-static electronic solution. All the pics in the product gallery are of the exact Mac Mini being sold these aren't stock photos. This custom configured 2012 Mac Mini uses an Intel Core i7 QUAD CORE processor with "Apple Turbo Boost Mode" that runs at 2.3 GHz most of the time and up to 3.3 GHz in "Apple Turbo Boost Mode" which is dynamically determined by the processor chip. It has been upgraded with brand new TimeTec brand RAM chips to 16 GB of RAM and a nearly new Micron 2TB SSD drive with 82% of the drive lifespan remaining listed in Drive DX testing. It has Intel HD Graphics 4000 with 1,500 MB of VRAM. Also, unlike many older MacMinis it uses USB 3.0 expansion input slots instead of the very slow USB 2.0 slots found in most older MacMinis. • 2.3 GHz - 3.3 GHz Intel i7 QUAD CORE processor with Turbo Boost Mode • 16 GB RAM: BRAND NEW TimeTec brand • 2 TB SSD Drive: Nearly NEW Micron brand • Intel HD Graphics 4000 with 1,500 MB of VRAM • 4 USB 3.0 expansion slots • 1 Thunderbolt 2.0 expansion slot • 1 Firewire 800 expansion slot • 1 HDMI output • Audio line out and audio line in ports • SD Card reader • Running MacOS Sonoma via OCLP + Windows 10 Pro Its been updated to MacOS Sonoma with the help of the "Open Core Legacy Patcher" extension via a clean wipe installation process in which the hard drive was completely tested and reformatted before the install of the OS. This little powerhouse runs Sonoma smooth as silk! The Windows 10 Professional Install To add unprecedented versatility to this Mac, Windows 10 Professional has been installed on a smaller second partition on the 1TB SSD. This isn’t Windows 10 Pro running in a virtual environment, this is Windows 10 Pro running natively on it’s own partition completely independently of MacOS Sonoma so any Windows apps you want to run will be able to utilize the full power of this machine’s hardware. The MacOS partition on the drive is about 1.5TB and the Windows partition is about 500MB. For those wishing for a Windows 11 installation here… Well don’t… Windows 11 is still not very stable plus there are very serious privacy concerns about Windows 11 since they included their “Microsoft Recall” feature which records everything you do while working in Windows. Windows 10 Pro is rock solid stable and compatible with everything in the Windows world! A Windows 10 Pro product key isn’t included with this Mac, but it isn’t needed to fully use Windows anyway as Microsoft allows users to use Windows without a product key. The only drawback is that you can’t add personalization options to Windows and you’ll notice “activate Windows prompts” from time to time. If you’d like to get a product key for Windows you can get them very cheaply online from non-OEM Windows product key software vendors online for about $20. This Mac Mini was built and configured by an expert Mac Technician who has been working on Apple computers since the 1990s and is backed by a 1 year warranty--the same term of warranty you would get from Apple when buying a new Mac! The warranty is administered by TomGoods on eBay a longstanding highly rated eBay seller since the year 2000. I'll make sure to have this item shipped out to you within 1 business day and make sure it is shipped via FedEx with professional boxing standards with secure padding. If you're not satisfied I offer a 30-day money back option. I'm an experienced eBay seller with nearly a 100% positive feedback rating with over 350 sales reporting.
