Cheapest Mac with MacOS Ventura?
Hello dear community,
I want a Mac that can run MacOS Ventura.
- It should be cheap (not cost much)
- MacOS Ventura can
- New (Not used)
I don't care if it's an iMac or a MacBook.
I don't care if it's Pro, Mini, Air or even just regular.
It doesn’t have to be the latest model!
You will probably not be able to buy a new device with macOS 13 Ventura anymore. They installed all macOS 14 Sonoma.
You have to find out if you’re still getting older equipment on the market. However, only devices with M-CPU are recommended. You don’t know how long Apple still supports Intel CPUs.
The cheapest Apple device is the Mac mini (from 699 euros), then comes the MacBook Air (from 1299 euros).
I actually want one with MacOS Ventura. What generation of Macs are we here?
you will not find a new Mac with Ventura
Each Mac with M-CPU is supported by both the current OS and the predecessor Ventura. The M1 devices came at the end of 2020 (Mac Mini, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro) or Spring 2021 (iMac) on the market.
The generation is M1 and M2 until August / September 2023. While the MacBook Pro M2 16″ was sold until October, the MacBook Air M1 and M2 as well as Mac mini M2 are still on offer. Therefore, they can have installed macOS 14 from the factory.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You can also buy one from 2014 or older or new and then update the one with the OpenCore Legacy Patcher on macOS Ventura, works amazingly super, I did this too.
