Can someone tell me what model this is?

[SPNarwhal]

I'm looking to buy a Mac Mini from someone local, and they're claiming it's a

1.83GHz Core2Duo
4GB RAM
250GB Harddrive

As far as I can see, the only 1.83GHz Core2Duo comes with 1GB of RAM (Caps at 2)

And an 80GB Harddrive.

So a 1.83ghz Mac Mini can't even be upgraded to 4gb, so he's either wrong on the specs or wrong on the Processor.

Here's the photo he sent me.

Any way to know what model this is?

Have them send you the serial number, then look up the specs here.

Let the seller send you the "Model Identifier":

Identify your Mac and Mac OS X version, visualised in a more elaborate image
Identify your Mac and Mac OS X version using this 25 second video tutorial (3MB, .mp4, H.264)​

The 1.83 GHz model can take 4 GB RAM, but can only use 3 GB RAM.

PS: The serial number is the more accurate identifier.

That is a mid-2007 model, MacMini2,1. Even by looking at the back, with only a DVI port, it's obviously a 2006-2007.

Yep, sure is.
I don't think this guy knows what he has.

He also claimed it had an HDMI Port, which I confronted him about right away and he claims he meant he will provide a DVI to HDMI adapter.

Anyone know how much these generally run anyway?
I'm guessing around 350?

if it is really a 1.83ghz c2d mini it can have a pair of 2gb stick of ram using about 3.1gb and can fit a 1tb hdd. if he is telling you the truth about the machine they go for around 300 to 400 on usa ebay.

This is correct. I have the same model. I actually just upgraded the RAM this weekend.

The "About This Mac" screen now shows 4gb of ram, but as others have said, I'm told it only uses about 3gb worth.

I bought mine a year ago next week for $300 with the older style Apple bluetooth keyboard and the DVI to VGA adapter.
