One look at the Apple Mac Mini A1347 desktop computer proves that big things truly do come in little packages. The compact square desktop machine contains a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 dual-core processor that allows you to multitask with ease. With a DDR3 memory module, you get enhanced performance and fast reboots. You can choose to expand this DDR3 memory unit to 8GB. With this Mac Mini, you'll enjoy enough memory to edit large audio and video files. Patented Apple UEFI technology will automatically detect any memory you add to this model. Store all of your digitized videos, photos, and music in high-definition formats thanks to the generous. Gamers will enjoy playing intensive games with plenty of power and space. The Mac Mini features integrated Intel HD graphics, and the graphics board contains a separate 4000-series video processor to give you the freedom to run even the most intensive games. This also makes it fully compatible with the Apple Mac version of Steam. Apple's engineers found ways to put many connectivity options into the Mac Mini. It offers two Thunderbolt 2 and four USB ports, an HDMI terminal, a Gigabit Ethernet Rj-45 jack, and an SDXC card slot. The HDMI port offers full HD 1080p video output over any display. The additional jacks give you the freedom to connect multiple iPod music players and transfer over songs. Photographers can eject the cards from their cameras and insert them directly into the SDXC card slot, thus eliminating the need for dongles. Apple installed a special low memory version of OS X on this late miniature model iMac. Since this version of Mac OS has a lower memory footprint than a standard install, you'll be able to work that much faster. Apple also designed this small Mac to allocate memory the way that a UNIX-core laptop would, rather than the usual way a desktop does. You'll have more free memory available for apps instead of it being taken up by the operating system. Screen tearing is a thing of the past because of this unique memory management scheme. Full-screen videos play just as if they were on a television set. Since the MD387LL/A was introduced in October 2012, it's fully compatible with Sierra and all compatible versions of OS X. All accessories certified to work with an Apple laptop would work with these small desktops. The system software will automatically recognize USB and wireless printers that carry the Apple seal. External storage accessories fall under the same umbrella, but Apple added some special features to work with external drives. Any native HFS+ drive will show up in the OS X accessories panel as soon as you plug it in. Apple installed compatibility drivers to ensure that exFAT volumes also show up in the accessories panel. You can actually even mount NTFS volumes, but the system software gives you the tools to reformat these with a native Apple file system. This gives you the ability to add a ton of storage to this machine, which means you can build entire music, video, and photo collections.
