This might amplify the Mac Mini's limited internal hardware to force it to upgrade it to 4k resolution, according to the advice posts within the I found at Apple web site (ironically enough, despite it not being official as a hidden feature). As of now, I have ordered the Mini Displayport to HDMI converter module to configure the Mac Mini with the installed trial/pay software called. Thanks for the replies with constructive comments.

I am looking for a confirmation whether Mac Mini Late 2012 could be power-boosted by hacking (besides 4k display trick) with Thunderbolt 2-equipped eGPU, despite Apple's official statement that the latest MacOS update is intended for the listed recent Apple products. Also in particular Apple's continuing neglect of Mac Mini, with the rumored 2017 Mac Mini that comes with 4k display resolution feature, yet it's hard to find/discern if this is true now. (The later Mac Mini like 2014 edition has RAM soldered in that makes it impossible to upgrade manually.) 2.) Despite its age, it runs good at this current time, even with the demanding programs such as 's Mac version of ' for benchmarking.ģ.) Lastly, I am still upset at Apple Computer Inc for the number of reasons that might be better left unspecified.

Hi, Since Apple officially updated HighSierra to the latest version, 10.13.4 (edit: it should be 10.13.3 for Thunderbolt 1 & 2 for possible compatibility but my point stands), that supports eGPU for the limited number of recent Apple computer products, would it be (theoretically) plausible or possible to acquire eGPU box with Thunderbolt 2 to install a mid-end GPU card that could be configured with Mac Mini Late 2012 edition to 'hack' it to upgrade to 4k resolution for viewing on Sony Bravia 55' 4k HDTV, besides the benefit of faster graphic processing? I tried researching on 4k upgrade by hacking, but some forums referring to this hack may be outdated with some difficult to configure, using only Terminal to execute manual commands, not to mention trying to download from GitHub that confuses me since I'm not familiar with GitHub when it comes trying to obtain programs to hack the Mac Mini Late 2012 computer.
