Apple 2020 Mac Mini with Apple M1 Chip, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD Storage - Silver (Renewed)

This 2020 Apple Mac Mini with the M1 chip is a powerful and compact desktop computer that delivers impressive performance for its size. The M1 chip’s speed and efficiency make it great for multitasking, handling everything from daily tasks to intensive workloads like video editing. It’s quiet, energy-efficient, and offers fast performance with excellent graphics for creative work. The compact design fits easily into any workspace, though it has limited upgradability and fewer ports compared to other Mac models. Overall, it’s an affordable and highly capable choice for anyone needing a powerful Mac in a small form factor.

So far so good! It's in like-new condition, it's fast, and so far it's reliable. Thus far, I'm very happy. I wasn’t real happy with the packaging. It was sliding around in the box during shipping, with no padding at all, which made me angry. I've bought three “renewed” machines from Amazon over the years, and so far I've been lucky with all three of them.I'm a PC guy. Always have been! I've been computing on Windows since Windows 2.0. But, I teach computer science and cybersecurity in college at the undergrad level, and I always have several students who have Macs and struggle to install software or use software like I'm demonstrating on a PC In class. As sad as it sounds, I'm not experienced enough with Mac OS to help them in certain circumstances. I have to get help from a colleague, which is fine, but if I'm going to stand in front of a classroom and talk about something, I should know what the heck I'm talking about. On top of that, my wife is a Mac girl, and she has been hounding me for a long time to give it a shot. So I finally took the plunge.When I set the machine up it, it worked, and immediately updated to Mac OS Sequoia 15.4 and has been running very well since. Again, I'm a computer geek, I have it running on a dock with my ThinkPad E16. Again, so far so good. It's actually the ThinkPad that gets an attitude sometimes when I boot it while it's connected to the dock.The ThinkPad gives me three extended displays and the laptop display as well for a total of four. To get two extended displays on the Mac I do have to move one of the HDMI cables from the dock to the back of the Mac Mini, or I'll end up with mirrored displays. I purchased an active HDMI adapter that will be delivered today, which should resolve that problem.I have to admit, it took several days of setting up to get things the way I wanted but I'm very, happy with this machine and the OS.

Flawless. Very fast. Sequoia already installed.

I am really impressed with this Mac mini M1. It is working very well and was well worth the price paid. I highly recommend this vendor and product. I have bought other Apple products like iPhones etc that are not in nearly as solid condition as this Macintosh. It is just great!!

Best decision I ever made this M1 is still a power house for being 5 years old. Came like new was surprised at how little it was scratched up. It does have some small scratches on the bottom of the Mac but not noticeable when it’s sitting on my desk. In the picture it looks like new and runs like new. overall I’m very happy customer, will probably be buying more from Amazon renewed tech.

Great computer for the price! Very small and easy to fit in any setup. Plus ur guaranteed at least a few more years of updates. The M1 chip is fairly capable when it comes to games. Finding ones you can afford is a different story tho haha. Arrived very fast as well I do wish there was a bit more padding in the box tho like one of those bags of air or something. It was kinda just put in a box just big enough to have the power cord with it.

This thing runs circles around any of the Intel Mac's we've owned and it was less than half the price of some of them! M1 was such a huge jump in quality and speed. Great little Mac PC.

This is an apple computer so you know it will work right out of the box. What I did not expect was that it looked brand new. Exceptional job refurbishing the unit. Everything worked just like it was new. Amazon job! (sorry for the bad pun)
