The Home Office Guide

So… it seems that we're going to be spending a little time confined to our homes, with only the plants for company. It's probably a good time to grow a small vegetable garden on your balcony anyway, or… maybe just reconnect with your console or PC. But there will come a time when you have to work, so for those of you who are not used to working remotely, we’re here to offer you a small survival kit to equip you in these exceptional circumstances.

    I’ve found no issue with the item. The only indication that it wasn’t new was the label reading “Apple certified refurbished”. Every aspect is pristine. It’s such an upgrade over my desktop for music production and 3D modelling, and it cost less than I’d expect to shill out on a new GPU alone. I wasn’t sure if I was shooting myself in the foot by getting the 8GB model, but the memory is so fast that it really outperforms my super slow 32GB of DDR3, at least for my use-cases.

    Very happy with this purchase. 1st time buying a refurbished item so was a bit sceptical but have to be honest and say the unit came in excellent condition and has been operating GarageBand with no issues since.

    Really quick at shipping out and the computer itself works which is great. However, the storage is incorrect, Bought a 128gb 'SSD' and instead received a 160GB SATA drive. From a bit more research seems that this model never had a 128gb SSD - admittedly I should have checked before hand. Had I known this was a SATA drive I wouldn't have bought it.

    Ordered and paid for an M2 Mac Mini on the Thursday, it arrived the next day. It looks flawless, like it’s only just come out of the box for the first time. Really pleased with the service and speed!

    The Mac mini is fantastic, I wouldn’t know it’s a refurb as it’s really fast. My one comment would be… please can u clean the power cable, it had tape residue on it and was a bit grubby. 9/10 overall for service, keeping me informed of delivery, the ability to change the delivery date, after delivery follow up and customer care Thank you Back Market

    The Mac mini has been a great buy. I already had a Windows mini and bought the MC to run a couple of applications only available for the platform. Well worth the money and excellent service.

    Mac was perfect quality, only a few scratches on the back, and I didn’t even ask for an excellent wuality computer! Works just as well as my M1 MacBook Pro, but did not come with the power cable! Had to use one from my PlayStation 4.

    Great worked well. However please note do your research. I had to buy a multitude of cables to get my second screen to work. Both worked on my old iMac. Tried adapters. Didn’t work. VGA to hdmi. Didn’t work. Displayport to hdmi. Didn’t work. Almost at wits end and was about to buy a new monitor when I thought I would try dvi to hdmi. Lo and behold. Worked.

Benefits of buying a refurbished Mac mini


At Back Market, customers save up to 50% off compared to the price of new on certified refurbished Mac mini models. The best part is, you don't have to sacrifice performance quality in order to save money; all refurbished devices on our marketplace have been fully reconditioned, cleaned, inspected and tested to the same standards as a new one. This is the biggest difference between buying a used or second hand Mac mini compared to a refurbished one.

Buying a reconditioned Mac mini is also an environmentally friendly option. A refurbished Mac mini is often a second hand device that has been restored and updated to meet manufacturer standards, which means you'll be helping to keep old Mac minis out of our landfills, reduce electronic waste, and minimise your carbon footprint.

 

Where to find a cheap refurbished Mac mini?


If you're looking for cheaper Mac mini options and don't want to pay full price, you'll find the biggest selection, highest product quality and lowest prices on restored Mac mini models at Back Market. That's because we specialise specifically in refurbished tech and take the time to carefully vet every seller on our marketplace to ensure customers are getting reliable devices that perform like-new. We have several refurbed Mac mini in price ranges to fit almost anyone's budget.

Staying true to our brand, we're also a huge advocate for environmental change. In fact, at the beginning of 2023, we hit a milestone for preventing 1 million tons of carbon emission (CO2e) from entering the atmosphere. You can help contribute to a better circular economy when you shop Mac mini deals on our platform.

 

What to expect when buying a refurbished Mac mini?


If you're a first time refurbished buyer, you might not be sure what to expect from your purchase. First, understand that your Mac mini may have external cosmetic flaws depending on the condition you choose (Back Market offers devices of Fair, Good and Excellent quality). However, whatever the condition, any external blemishes will not affect the performance of your Mac mini and you can expect your device to perform as if it were newly opened directly from the store.

You should also be confident that your Mac mini is backed by a 1-year warranty, meaning in the rare case that any defects arise (outside of accidental damage) within 12 months of your delivery date, then you're entitled to your choice of a repair, replacement or reimbursement.

 

Mac mini warranty and return policy with Back Market


All Mac mini purchases on Back Market come with free standard shipping, a 1-year warranty, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. We want to make sure you can shop with confidence and find the best Mac mini for your needs at lower prices.

 

What is a refurbished Mac mini good for?

 

A refurbished Mac mini is good for a user that wants a powerful Mac on a budget. It's much cheaper than a MacBook Pro or iMac, but if you get one with upgraded specs, it can be a lot more powerful. So if you're trying to put together videos or other projects that require a higher-end Mac, we would suggest getting a cheap Mac mini and seeing if it fits your needs.

 

Should I buy an iMac or used Mac mini?

 

Both the iMac and the Mac mini have similar performance and upgrade options. However, the used Mac mini is the best budget Mac. Since it doesn't come equipped together with a screen, it's also much cheaper than an iMac.

 

Is a second hand Mac mini good for Photoshop?

 

The second hand Mac mini refurbished is perhaps the best Mac for Photoshop. Is it as powerful as a Mac Pro? No. But it's much cheaper than an iMac, yet just as powerful. It's the best budget Mac for any type of image or video editing.

 

Is a cheap Mac mini good for video production?

 

Yes, the refurbished Mac mini is perhaps the best Mac for video production. It comes with a lot more power than a MacBook, and even though it isn't as portable, you're going to need all the additional power you can get if you're trying to produce a longer video (anything over 10 minutes). Of course, if you want to make a long film in really high quality you may need the even more professional Mac Pro, but chances are that the used Mac mini should be more than enough to suit your needs.

 

Is a cheap Mac mini better than a MacBook?

 

The refurbished Mac mini is much more powerful than a MacBook from the same year, and also much cheaper :) Of course, you'll need to buy a separate screen, keyboard, and mouse to use one of these, and it isn't as portable since it is still technically a desktop, but if you buy a cheap Mac mini with upgraded specs, it will be able to out-perform almost any cheap MacBook.
