The Mac mini is Apple’s most affordable desktop, and a refurbished Mac mini is perfect if you’re on a budget or want to use your own display, keyboard and mouse. We offer M1 and M2 models, plus the redesigned 2024 Mac mini with the M4 or M4 Pro chip. It’s smaller than ever, adds front USB-C and headphone ports, and on M4 Pro models includes Thunderbolt 5. All at a significant discount compared to Apple, and kinder for the environment too.
Need a screen? Pair your Mac mini with a refurbished Apple Studio Display, a stunning 27-inch 5K Retina display with a built-in 12MP camera, studio-quality mics and six speakers. Together they make a powerful, space-saving alternative to an all-in-one iMac.
Every refurbished Mac mini goes through our refurbishment process and is backed by our 1 Year Hardware Warranty. Finance options are available with PayPal or Klarna, with free next-day delivery and same-day dispatch on orders placed before 1pm.
The Mac mini is a small desktop computer that is the lowest price Mac in Apple’s range. It has every feature you would expect from a Mac but you need to use your own display, keyboard and mouse. Despite its size and price they are very capable devices that will run the latest software with ease, but if you are looking for a more powerful device then the Mac Studio has more powerful chips and better connectivity.
Although the Mac mini is the cheapest product in the Mac range it is still a sizeable investment. Buying a Mac mini refurbished from Hoxton Macs provides reliability, warranty, finance options and next day delivery - all factors that might be lacking if buying used from a marketplace.
We offer many of the benefits of a new Mac mini but at a great saving, plus it’s great for the environment too. Super quick delivery, warranty and expert advice is all part of the service from Hoxton Macs, the largest seller of refurbished Mac in the UK.
A Mac mini and an iMac 24-inch with the same chip (for example, M1 or M4) have very similar performance, but with the Mac mini you provide your own display, keyboard and mouse. If you already have these, it’s a very cost-effective way to use a Mac. The Mac mini is also available with the more powerful M2 Pro and M4 Pro chips, which the iMac isn’t. Paired with a refurbished Studio Display, a Mac mini gives you a larger 27-inch 5K screen than any current iMac.
The Mac mini can connect to external displays using HDMI or Thunderbolt,
* Mac mini M1 & Mac mini M2: 2 displays
* Mac mini M2 Pro, Mac mini M4 & Mac mini M4 Pro: 3 displays
Any HDMI or USB-C/Thunderbolt monitor will work with a Mac mini. For the best match, the 27-inch 5K Apple Studio Display has the same 218 ppi sharpness as an iMac, plus a built-in 12MP camera, three mics and six speakers, all over a single Thunderbolt cable.
Apple decided to skip the M3 Mac mini and released the M4 Mac mini in 2024 to replace the M2 Mac mini.
