iMac Mini Question

Hello,

I have asked other users on Skype but want some more feedback before I move forward.

My mom has an iMac Mini just laying around the house. So I asked if I could just have it and she said sure why not.

I have no idea which type it is since there are more upgraded versions and such.

Here are the minimum specs: Processor: 1.4GHz

1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 (Turbo Boost up to 2.7GHz) with 3MB on-chip shared L3 cache

Storage: 500GB (5400-rpm) hard drive

Configurable to 1TB Fusion Drive.

Memory: 4GB of 1600MHz LPDDR3 memory

Configurable to 8GB or 16GB.

Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 5000

I am wondering if I'm able to run LoL on it while say watching some videos or something.

Any advice is great. I don't want to purchase a monitor and have it be a waste.

Again, those are just the minimum so they may have better specs than what I posted.

I doubt you could watch videos ASWELL as play LoL on that shit.

As I posted in Skype chat for you, i'll just show you the min. specs of DoTA 2:

MINIMUM:
OS: Windows 7
Processor: Dual core from Intel or AMD at 2.8 GHz
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: nVidia GeForce 8600/9600GT, ATI/AMD Radeon HD2600/3600
DirectX: Version 9.0c
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Hard Drive: 8 GB available space
Sound Card: DirectX Compatible


Now league will obviously be pretty similar, so people with more knowledge than me can base their ideas off that

 

I'm not quite sure on what specs it has. Those are the lowest specs an iMac has so there is a possibility it's higher.

 

bumpp

 

Bump.

You should be able to play LoL but I wouldn't count on watching videos at the same time!

That machine can run runescape, if it's compatible. That's about it. If you wanna game(or do anything well in general) you should go PC. Gaming on a mac is like telling a bad joke. Oh wait, that's the same thing. While a free computer is a free computer, I suggest you sell it since you'll get some nice change for it, then build something worth owning.

That's what I would say too. You're gonna have some frustration playing LoL, wouldn't be able to play videos at the same time, I believe.

You can look on it for a model number and then look up the specs. As stated, Macs aren't made for gaming. I'm sure it had some value to somebody, but I wouldn't waste my time with it.
