MacOS MOJAVE + ZORIN 17 LINUX OS 2012 Mac Mini 2.6GHz i7 QUAD 2TB SSD 16GB RAM

Description: Custom Apple Mac Mini | 2012 2.6GHz - 3.6 GHz QUAD CORE with Apple Turbo Boost Mode | 16GB RAM + 2TB SSD Drive | with DUAL BOOTNG 2TB SSD DRIVE: MacOS MOJAVE + ZORIN 17 LINUX OS | 1 Year Warranty | Professional Creative + Productivity Application Bundle Pre Installed A completely renewed Mac Mini that has been upgraded to the max with new or near new components, custom configured with a dual booting 2TB SSD drive running MacOS Mojave and Zorin 17 Linux OS, completely cleaned inside and out and fully tested with a 1 year warranty. I like to refer to this build as the Creative Mojave Maverick build as both MacOS Mojave and Zorin 17 Linux OS are very popular with creative people and other non-conformists! It’s intended for those who want a MacOS Mojave system for entry level to moderate intensity creative work with a second partition on the SSD drive to boot into a modern Linux OS to surf the internet with a modern OS with the latest security patches and to dabble in using a Linux OS for creative and everyday tasks. For the MacOS Mojave 1.8TB partition, this build comes with a robust suite of Apple software and other professional grade creative software tools for musicians, DJs, visual artists, photographers, videographers and designers. All the software is included pre-installed and is listed out below in the detailed description of this machine. For the Zorin 17 Linux OS 200GB partition, a comprehensive collection of web browsing, e-mail, word processing, presentation, spreadsheet, video and audio cataloging and playback apps are included pre-installed. 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. Since there is variation in the cosmetic condition of each machine up for sale, some machines that have the exact same technical specs will still have slightly different prices because their cosmetic condition is different.

No other Mac Mini since was fully upgradable, utilized a powerful Intel i7 QUAD CORE processor with Turbo Boost Mode (instead of the very slow Intel i5 duo core), used USB 3 input expansion slots instead of the slow USB 2 slots and had decent graphics power with Intel HD Graphics onboard. And unlike the very underpowered 2014 Intel i5 duo core Mac mini or the 2018 Mac mini the SSD drive, RAM and other key components can be replaced or upgraded in the future. With the 2018 Mac mini for example if the SSD drive were to die in it the entire computer would become useless as the SSD drive in it isn’t replaceable. 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 is the 2.6GHz - 3.6GHz version, the very fastest of the 2012 QUAD CORE i7 machines. MacOS Mojave has remained extremely popular with creative people for good reason, it doesn’t have all the Apple bloatware of subsequent MacOS systems, you can still run 32-bit apps on it which is very important for a lot of musicians, you don’t need to pay $60 per month for a Adobe Creative Suite subscription with Mojave as it will run the older Adobe Creative Suite CS5 and CS6 software creatives already own, and it runs very very fast and stable. Zorin 17 Linux OS has become the most popular version of Linux among MacOS users as it’s user interface is very intuitively and beautifully designed. Its the perfect distribution of Linux for those coming from MacOS. Further, when you want to go online to complete tasks that call for a operating system that has all the latest security patches, its really nice to have a second partition on your MacOS Mojave system that runs a modern Linux OS so you can boot into that operating system for tasks online that call for a higher level of security. MacOS Mojave is arguably the best version of MacOS ever made but since its older Apple doesn’t distribute new security patches for it—having a dual booting MacOS system with Mojave and Zorin is the perfect combo! 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 imperfections on this unit that is at all noticeable are 1 ver light ghosted scratch in the varnish layer of the metalic paint on the top panel that is only noticable under certain lighting conditions and a few light scratches on the bottom plastic base of the unit. Note the faint single scratch on the top panel has been denoted with a photo with a post it note pointing to where the scratch is because its so faint you can't even see it under the photo's lighting angle. See gallery photos for exact cosmetic condition. 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.

TomzGoods 1 Year Warranty 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! Apple products are built to last with quality construction and components and the new RAM memory chips and SSD drives that have been installed in these machines are also quality components not cheaply made PC hardware. When you add all these factors up, what becomes clear is that as long as they’re taken good care of while in use, these renewed machines will most likely never give you any problems even if you continue to use them for 6 or more years. In the rare event that there is some kind of mechanical issue with your unit within 1 year of purchase date—and the unit hasn’t been reconfigured with different hardware—that isn’t a result of neglect, misuse, misconfigured software, malware, or an accident, you will need to get your unit assessed at your location by a qualified Apple technician to diagnose the issue and write up a short assessment of the problem. Next you’ll need to contact TomzGoods via e-mail with your description of the issue and a short written assessment of the issue by a qualified Apple technician as an e-mail attachment along with an email attachment of your purchase receipt and state issued ID card. From there you’ll need to ship the unit back to TomzGoods and TomzGoods will either repair the problem and ship the unit back to you or refund 100% of the purchase price of the unit. This warranty is non-transferable and only good for the individual who purchased the Mac on eBay. A TomzGoods warranty card will be included with the Mac for your future reference in the unlikely event you would need to use the warranty coverage.
