2024 M4 Mac mini

The mini is in like-new condition. I received it for Christmas and used it for about 2 months before buying the Mac Studio when it came out in March in order to get more ports and graphics cores.

KEY SPECS

• Apple Silicon M4 chip (10-core CPU, 10-core GPU)
• 16 GB RAM (max: 32 GB)
• 256 GB SSD
• Factory reset to macOS 15.1* (Sequoia)
• Ports
• 2x USB-C (USB 3)
• 3x USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 (DisplayPort, Thunderbolt 4, and/or USB 4)
• Gigabit ethernet
• HDMI
• 3.5-mm audio jack
• Built-in speaker
• Dimensions: 5” W x 5” H x 2” D (1.5 lb)

*For security reasons, macOS 15.0 (the OS installed on the original M4 minis at the factory) is no longer available, so although that’s what the mini shipped with, I was unable to revert the OS that far.

For the complete set of technical specifications, refer to Apple’s website: https://support.apple.com/en-us/docs/mac/301067. You can find an even more detailed analysis here: https://everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_mini/specs/mac-mini-m4-10-core-cpu-10-core-gpu-2024-specs.html.

Both originally included items (the Mac mini and the power cord) are included with/in the original packaging—including the ‘protective’ packaging specifically created by Apple for shipping the Mac.

27” Alogic Clarity 4K UHD Monitor

I used this monitor for a little more than a year, and it’s still in excellent condition. No screen blemishes, no damaged pixels. Text and images are extremely sharp/clear. The only damage I can see on the metal components is a nick on the base plate.

The display can rotate 90°, allowing it to function in both landscape and portrait orientations and any diagonal angle in between. It can tilt upward, and the height is adjustable (despite it being very easy to move the display up and down, it stays perfectly in place after moving it to the desired position). Buttons on the bottom right of the display operate the on-screen display.

All of the original cables are included. The HDMI, DisplayPort and USB A-to-USB B cables are all 1.5 meters in length and have never been used. The 1-m USB C-to-USB C has been used. There are two power cables as well: one type B (for U.S. connections) and one type I (apparently for Australia/NZ, China, and Argentina).

You can access the complete set of technical specifications on Alogic’s website (https://alogic.co/products/clarity-27-uhd-4k-monitor) by scrolling 3/4 of the way down the page and click on the expandable menu labeled “Specifications.”

KEY SPECS

In addition, I’m including these items:

• velvet dust cover (like-new)
• https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BBGP1PG8?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_5&th=1
• corner protectors (open box)
• I attached these to the display to prevent the cover from possibly being damaged by the sharp corners. They leave no residue upon removal.
• https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CN78XVRF?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1
• reversible matte/glossy privacy shield (used)
• I bought this to help me handle the glare (my eyes are particularly sensitive). It’ been modified from the original product (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9LSH9TC?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1) because, as it was designed, the original didn’t cover the entirety of the viewing area, and the magnets that came with it lifted the shield above the screen enough to cause everything to look blurry/fuzzy. I held it in place with residue-less black painter’s tape. You don’t need a lot of tape, but the more you use, the closer the shield stays to the screen, greatly improving the clarity.
• monitor stand (used)
• This is made of plastic/polystyrene but supports up to 80 lbs. The surface is slightly rounded (width: 15” in the middle, tapering down to 14" at the edges; depth: 12" in the middle, tapering down to 10" at the edges), and the height is adjustable (2 5/8”, 4 1/4”, or 5 7/8”) using segmented legs.
• The direct link no longer exists: search Amazon for “3M Adjustable Monitor Stand MS80B.”

Freestyle2 Keyboard for Mac

This keyboard’s primary feature is its split-ability, allowing you to place each half at the distance and angle at which each of your hands is most comfortable. The cable attaching the halves is 20” long; taking into account the cable’s thickness/flexibility, this results in a maximum separation of about 1.5’. The keys on the Freestyle are raised and concave. Most of the keypads have been smoothed by use over the last 4-5 years (as opposed to the brand-new ‘pebbled’ feel). Other than that, there are no cosmetic issues with the device.

A complete description of the Freestyle can be found on Kinesis’s website: https://kinesis-ergo.com/shop/freestyle2-mac/.
