## Questions & Answers

**Q: The i5 comes with 256gb ssd correct? someone in reviews said it was only 128gb.**
A: The base model comes WITH 256GB SSD and 8GB of RAM.

**Q: will this run Ventura and beyond?**
A: I'm running Ventura on mine.

**Q: Does it have a play store app**
A: ALL Apple OS types contain the Apple APP Store, so yes, it does come with the Apple APP Store. "Play Store App" is an android equivalent by Google.

**Q: Can you use protools on this computer ?**
A: Yes! Make sure you own a Mac version of pro tools and consider getting a usb-c external hard drive since, depending on the length of your recordings, you may find the internal hard drive lacking in terms of space. 

Also, depending on how tech-savvy you are, consider purchasing additional RAM and installing that yourself (may void warranty). Pro Tools is pretty memory intensive and the stock ram is pretty low.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceeded expectations
*by A***V on August 31, 2025*

These old mac minis still have *plenty* of life in them! Worked flawlessly right out of the box, no jank, no slowdowns, in great physical condition too. Specs exactly as advertised. Incredible for this price. Used it for a few hours, will update my review if anything comes up in the next few weeks. Came installed with MacOS Sequoia.
