APPLE MACMINI MD388LL/A (2012)

The Apple Mac mini MD388LL/A is a compact desktop computer from the Late 2012 Mac mini lineup, released on October 23, 2012. It’s part of Apple’s aluminum unibody series, offering a balance of performance and affordability in a small form factor. Here’s an overview:

Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 (I7-3615QM), a quad-core "Ivy Bridge" chip with a 6MB shared L3 cache and Turbo Boost up to 3.3 GHz. This provides solid performance for its time, capable of handling multitasking and moderate workloads.

Graphics: Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000, sharing system memory (up to 1.5GB). It supports dual displays with a native resolution of 1920x1200 and a second screen up to 2560x1600 via HDMI or Thunderbolt. Adequate for basic tasks but not for gaming or heavy graphics work.

Operating System: Shipped with macOS X 10.8 Mountain Lion; upgradable to later versions like macOS Mojave (10.14) officially, with unofficial support for newer OS via patches (e.g., OpenCore Legacy Patcher).

Build: Sleek, aluminum unibody enclosure, fan-cooled (quiet operation under normal loads). No included display, keyboard, or mouse—users supply their own peripherals.

The MD388LL/A was a step up from the base Late 2012 model (with a 2.5 GHz Core i5), offering quad-core power for users needing more processing muscle. It excels at everyday tasks like web browsing, media playback, and office work, and can handle light creative tasks (e.g., photo editing or basic video rendering).

Condition: These devices are 100% fully functional. They have been fully tested and inspected by our certified technicians. The item will show only light signs of use and handling; no visible screen scuffs or dead pixels and imperfections on the body will not be visible at a distance. Power adapter is included. Original packaging is not included.
