Mac Mini Now Starts at $1,099 After Apple Pulls 256GB Model
The base configuration of the M4 Mac Mini now supports only 16GB of RAM and 512GB of memory.
These Mac Models are Compatible with macOS Sierra
During today’s WWDC keynote, Apple renamed OS X to macOS, as we had all expected. With this new version of macOS, it drops support for older Macs, specifically those made in 2007 and 2008.
Below is a list of Macs that are compatible to run macOS Sierra, according to Apple at their keynote:
- MacBook (late 2009 and later)
- iMac (late 2009 and later)
- MacBook Air (2010 and later)
- MacBook Pro (2010 and later)
- Mac Mini (2010 and later)
- Mac Pro (2010 and later)
The following Macs capable of running OS X El Capitan right now, did not make the cut for macOS Sierra:
- MacBook (late 2008 Aluminum)
- MacBook Pro (mid/late 2007)
- MacBook Air (late 2008)
- Mac mini (early 2009)
- iMac (mid 2007)
- Mac Pro (early 2008)
- Xserve (early 2009)
Developers received access to macOS Sierra beta for testing today, while the public beta will arrive in July, followed by a widespread public release in the Fall.

My Macbook Pro (late 2009) made the cut but unfortunately not having Bluetooth 4.0 means I won’t be able to use some of the features in Sierra.
I know right, especially on continuity so much missed opportunity. Macbook late 2009 user right here.
I was able to add a Bluetooth 4.0 dongle to my 2011 MB Pro to get Continuity features. Works great and the Bluetooth mouse isn’t jumpy anymore too.
