Apple Mac Mini 2020 M1 8GB RAM 256GB SSD with Creative Software

Description

So, I’ve been using this Mac Mini for years — it’s basically my creative home base. Bought it new in 2020, and it’s still running like a dream. It’s got the M1 chip, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD (note: I wrote 251GB in the original — that’s a typo, it’s actually 256GB, which is what it came with).

I’ve got the latest OS installed — macOS Sequoia 15.2 — and it’s been fully tested on all hardware components, passed Apple’s official standards. No dodgy parts, no surprises.

The software list is pretty much everything I use for video, design, and audio: Final Cut Pro 10.8, Adobe Photoshop 2025, After Effects 2025, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve 20, Logic Pro 11, Ableton 12, Auto-Tune, and a whole bunch of other creative tools. Also got the Native Instruments Maschine MK3, T-Racks, and the full Spectrasonics & Arturia bundles.

It’s been used for real work — editing videos, doing photo edits, running audio projects — so it’s got some real-world wear and tear, but nothing that affects performance. Still runs smoothly even when I’ve got 10+ apps open.

I’m based in Balloch, Inverness now, so if you’re around, I can set up a time to show it over — no pressure, just happy to chat. I’ve been working with Apple hardware for over 12 years, so I know what to look for.

If you’re a creator — video editor, designer, or just getting into digital work — this is a solid, reliable machine. I’ve had it through a few upgrades and it’s still solid.

I’m not selling it just to get cash — I’m selling it because I’ve moved and it’s time to upgrade. I’ve got a few other Apple devices I can trade in or swap if you’re interested.

No Paypal, no phone card payments — just cash, card, or bank transfer. I’m open 7 days a week (Mon–Sat 10am–7pm, Sunday 11am–5pm) for viewings.

If you’re thinking about buying a Mac, this one’s been tested, trusted, and used — not just sitting on a shelf. I’ve had it through multiple checks, including a police-approved 'Checkmend' — just to give you peace of mind.

Price is £360 — I know it’s not cheap, but it’s a full-featured machine that does what it says on the tin.

If you’re serious about working with creative tools, this is one of the best pieces of gear you can get without paying a fortune.

Let me know if you’d like to see it or talk through what you’re using — happy to help!
