I'm using a 2018 Mac Mini 3.2 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7 with 32 GB RAM and 1TB SSD for all my daily work. I needed the Intel chip for running VMware Horizon Client for running Windows VMs. No complaints and still going strong. Thanks for the video.

2018 Mac Mini 3.2 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7 16 Gb Ram 512 SSD . Flawless to date .

Will this mini mac run macOS 10.13 or higher?

Hell YEAH, it's still good. I just got one used with an i7 processor (YAY!), 16 GB RAM (MEH...) and 256 GB SSD (BOO!) LSH: It now boots from an external 2TB M.2 SSD and has 64GB of RAM. It's a beaut. Dirty Confession: I REALLY wanted a 2012 Mac Pro- But I also wanted all the T2 reliant features of Sequoia

Maybe problem with the memeory? Did you try 1 stick or other stick? Maybe faulty ssd? try to install the system on external ssd.If the heatsink is not connected properly then your fan should start spinning very quickly at full speed. If not then the overheating is not the problem.

*HI IS STILL GOOD IF YOU LET UBGRATE RAM ON 32 GB*

I have the 2018 i7 mini with 32 gigs of ram and it's OK until you want to use a 4K display, which inevitably means you have to enable scaling just to see things clearly in the interface. At the point it becomes dog slow with all kinds of spinning ball and the rest. It's a struggle to even have Youtube playing in the background while editing an image file. The graphics on this computer was always the weak spot and it doesn't take much to push it over the edge.

[colourist.]

yes it is.... I have a 64GB ram mini with with Blackmagic eGpus x 4 for resolve and it runs like a Swiss watch! (yeah I know its 2 x shared 40 Gb
busses)

I am considering purchasing a 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro with an i7 processor in 2024.

[lovemadeinjapan]

I would skip both and get a 2013 Mac Pro. That is the cheapest of the 3, and usually comes with 64GB RAM installed, and it runs basically any OS you throw at it at a still great speed. For example the D500 is 5 times as fast as the Intel UHD630. Also it is really silent. With the M1 you are limited to 32GB at a very steep price increase, the 2018 is obsolete by any means.

try replacing the ram its likey bad ram

[laurencejohnson]

Perhaps a new heat sink would fix that faulty MM..
