Selling your Mac mini can be a great way to earn some extra cash, especially if you’re planning to upgrade to a newer model or switch to a different device. Before putting your device up for sale, it’s important to know its' exact specifications. Providing clear and accurate details about your device's specs will help you get a fair quote and ensure a smooth selling process. Even though it might sound a bit complicated, checking the specs only takes a few simple steps.

Step 1: Back Up Your Data

Before you start checking the specifications on your device, make sure to back up all of your important data. This step will keep your personal files and settings safe and make it easy to transfer everything to a new device if you decide to upgrade.

Step 2: Click on the Menu

To access your device’s specifications, click the Apple menu located in the top-left corner of your screen. This will open a drop-down menu with several options.

Step 3: Select "About This Mac"

From the drop-down menu, select “About This Mac.” This will open a new window displaying important information about your device. In this window, you’ll see the device model, as well as the year it was made. You’ll also be able to view details like how much RAM (Memory) your device has.

Step 4: Check the Hard Drive Size

Checking your hard drive size can vary depending on which version of OS your device is running. On Mac minis with macOS Monterey or earlier, you’ll see a “Storage” tab in the “About This Mac” window. Clicking on it will show you the size of your hard drive. For devices running macOS Ventura or later, click the “More Info” button, then scroll down to the bottom of the new window to see your storage size.
