## Questions & Answers

**Q: The i5 comes with 256gb ssd correct? someone in reviews said it was only 128gb.**
A: The base model comes WITH 256GB SSD and 8GB of RAM.

**Q: will this run Ventura and beyond?**
A: I'm running Ventura on mine.

**Q: Does it have a play store app**
A: ALL Apple OS types contain the Apple APP Store, so yes, it does come with the Apple APP Store. "Play Store App" is an android equivalent by Google.

**Q: Can you use protools on this computer ?**
A: Yes! Make sure you own a Mac version of pro tools and consider getting a usb-c external hard drive since, depending on the length of your recordings, you may find the internal hard drive lacking in terms of space. 

Also, depending on how tech-savvy you are, consider purchasing additional RAM and installing that yourself (may void warranty). Pro Tools is pretty memory intensive and the stock ram is pretty low.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Price and Age
*by S***Y on August 1, 2025*

I bought this to go with my monitor I got as a gift. I upgraded it to a newer version of macOS. The sequoia works pretty well. I will say there has been a few glitches on my screen. It will glitch out of nowhere or it will turn the screen off and then come back on. Sometimes when I turn the Mac mini on after turning it off, my wallpaper isn’t the same as what I set it to on my lock screen, but that might just be me. Overall, I love it so much and have worked with iMacs for four years, so being able to use a Mac mini for less money than an iMac and even bigger monitor for less money, is so worth it. It does not overheat as some people say, it only gets warm. It can be quite loud when it comes to the vents but I don’t mind it at all. It is big in size so if you have a small desk, get a stand for it like I did, and it will work so good. Also, if you have a wired keyboard and a usb mouse, and a monitor without a camera, definitely get a usb hub so that you can plug everything in. I have no clue if the speakers work well, simply because my speakers are connected to my monitor. I will say, you kind of have to go into everything and manually turn down the volume on whatever software/website you are using/on. I have my monitor volume pretty low, but if you have like YouTube open, definitely turn the volume down because it blasts it. I don’t know if that’s just me though. I love this a lot though, definitely get it if you’re looking for cheaper options. I don’t expect it to be super quick with speed when loading seeing as it is an older model. I will definitely update if anything is to happen. Lastly, it is such an easy set up!
