To sum up the hardware is fine, amazing value but software compatibility could become an issue. It's becoming harder to find compatible apps but there are still enough around for me. MacPro cheese graters are probably another good alternative. If I upgraded id probably go for a MacPro because you can still replace the hard drive, this is an important factor for me as I do audio. If you do the upgrades its amazing value. I'm using Chrome over Safari more now due to compatibility issues. The older it gets the more difficult it will be to run modern programs.

I know there are workarounds to install more recent OS using hacks but I suspect that will affect performance.

#Mac mini 2011 fan replacement upgrade#

I may bite the bullet and upgrade to High Sierra in the future. I use Waves plug ins and have to stick with version 11.

#Mac mini 2011 fan replacement pro#

I have up to date reaper, guitar pro and Sibellius on it. I have to use a slightly older version of Logic Pro X. I use Macs fan control to keep the CPU cool and I replaced the thermal paste during the upgrade.

I installed two 1TB SSDs, you probably would be hard to find that much storage in more recent computers with soldered in hard drives. I don't want to install High Sierra because I know the APFS file system with that causes a boot delay due to trim with SSD drives. Such a hub will probably be expensive between ВЈ50 and ВЈ100. Be careful because when you search you will mainly find Thunderbolt 3 hubs which is no good. However it is difficult to find thunderbolt 2 USB hubs. I got an Elgato which means I now have three USB3 ports. If you want USB 3 you can do it with the right thunderbolt 2 hub. I put 16GB of ram in but really 8GB would be enough. It has only integrated graphics which means it is not susceptible to the 2011 flip chip fault.

The Mac Mini was also one of the last models to get an aluminium unibody option, which was earlier introduced on the Apple MacBook Air, MacBook, MacBook Pro and iMac. It has proved popular with many users not as a primary home computer, but for a dedicated task, such as serving as a home theatre system, and most models include a built-in optical drive to play CDs and DVDs.ДЄccessing the inner workings of an Apple Mac Mini hasn't always been easy, and early models had to be pried open using a knife or even a pizza cutter for obvious reasons, this has made repairs and upgrades awkward to carry out at home. The Apple Mac Mini originally launched in 2005 as a compact desktop computer measuring just 165 mm square and 51 mm deep, until the 2010 redesign which made it more powerful and changed the dimensions to just 36 mm deep and 196 mm square.
