Lookup Mac Mini

Mac mini (Late 2012)

Way more power. Way same size.

Staying with the previous design of the last 2 years the 2012 wasn’t all too different to the 2011 model. 3rd generation Intel processors were introduced with an option of a dual core (i5) and a quad core (i7). It also officially supported 16GB of RAM which was more ideal for the creative user along with USB 3.o
