Mac Mini Upgrade Ram 2020

Posted on  by 



The Apple silicon Mac Mini was preceded by the A12Z-based Developer Transition Kit, a prototype for developers using a Mac Mini enclosure, released on June 22, 2020. It came with 16 GB of RAM, 512 GB of storage, and two USB-C ports that did not support Thunderbolt 3. AppleCare+ for Mac Every Mac comes with a one-year limited warranty and up to 90 days of complimentary technical support.AppleCare+ for Mac extends your coverage to three years from your AppleCare+ purchase date and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage protection every 12 months, each subject to a service fee of $99 for screen damage or external enclosure damage, or $299 for other. Asterisks indicate important details (such as a different 'official' maximum RAM capacity listed within 'Quick Specs' or other details on the complete specs page). Note that the Mac mini 'Late 2014', DTK, and '2020' and later models cannot have the RAM upgraded at all after purchase. The 2012 Mac Mini held a special place in many hearts thanks to how easy it was to upgrade. It remains Apple's last properly upgradeable Mac Mini, and even in 2020 can be a pretty handy little computer with the right bits inside.
