After holding out for years, I'm now in the market for two Mac Minis - one of which will be purchased second-hand.
Given that these are older models, are there any particular years/generations of Mac Minis to avoid due to known age-related hardware or software concerns? (For example, my 2010 MBP is on its second repair for GPU failures...)
Here's what some quick Google searches turn up:
* Mid 2010 (and earlier) - Apple classified as "Obsolete", Can't run macOS Mojave
* Mid 2011 - Can't run macOS Mojave, graphics failure or corruption issues on models with Radeon graphics
* Late 2012 - ???
* Late 2014 - Soldered RAM, so avoid the 4GB models
Thanks in advance.
