Would I be able to upgrade the operating system on this one to maverick or yosemite, and would I be able to get Archicad 18 and Cinema 4d onto it?

It has the latest version of Yosemite on it now. It would meet the minimum requirements but not the recommended requirements. I would suggest a 15" MacBook Pro with a Quad Core i7 and 8GB SDRAM to run smoothly.Regards, Trusted Macs

You can upgrade the operating system and it currently has Yosemite installed. I believe Archicad 18 is compatible with both, maverick and yosemite, but you may experience some compatibility issues. I'd recommend installing it via VMWare Fusion and running it off Windows.

yes but archicad recommends a quad core, we do have them, it does meet the minimum requirements but it may be slow.

I know for sure that you can use it with a Mac. That's how I use it, with Maverick OS

Its maverick however my mac came with Mountain Lion and I upgraded it for free from apple store. Also apple devices have online recovery stored in the mainboard so even if you remove the OEM hard disk you can still download the OEM from apple online

I don't see why not. I am currently running OS 10.10 on this machine. All of my apps work just fine with maybe an update here and there.

No, You will have to upgrade it. Most impressive machine I have owned. As fast as it is huge.

I am using it with OS Yosemite, and it's working fine. Since this model printer isn't that new, it should be no problem to run it with Mavericks.

I know that mountain lion cannot be installed on this older model.. I do not know for sure on maverick.

Yes it should work just great. After you install, run the Apple hardware test (google to find out how) a couple of times to make sure you aren't getting any errors. That will take the better part of an hour for each run. If you pass OK, you should have no problems. If it doesn't pass, pop the modules back out and switch them in the slots and then repeat the tests. I also highly recommend that you be upgraded to 10.9 Mavericks. I used to get some rare kernel panics with this memory under 10.7 Lion, but after upgrading the OS they have disappeared completely. Then, if you haven't done it already, start shopping for a solid state drive. Since I added both to mine (late 2011 MPB) I couldn't wish for a faster more responsive system.

Sorry , I'm not familiar with Mac &/or Mavericks. I'm into Windows Pro 8.1. Per Edimax tech support, supposedly there is a Realtek driver that should automatically install if the Edimax drivers are removed first. They await a beta driver from realtek.com.

Yes it is, I got mine when I had mountain lion and it worked great. I now upgraded to maverick and it still works great.

Yes, I have upgraded my Mac Mini to 8 GB and am running Mavericks. You can find the instructions to upgrade it on iFixit.com. It takes a little effort and you will need a paint scraper to get the case open. Taking off the case can be a little scary, but if you take your time, all will work out okay. Also be sure to pay close attention to the instructions regarding removing the antennas as they are quite easy to break if you don't pay attention to what you're doing. One last piece of advice, once you get the RAM installed, put it back together, but leave the case off to be sure it starts up correctly. This will save you from having to remove it again if it fails. Good luck!

Sorry, I was too brief before from my phone. My Mac mini came with OS 10.9.1, which is Mavericks, I believe. I think all of the Mac Minis being shipped from Apple are currently shipping with Mavericks. The units Amazon's vendors are shipping may be pre-Mavericks, and I do not know if there is an upgrade fee. I went to the Apple web site and there was an update screen that popped right up to go to Mavericks, but I do not know if it is free.

Yes - you may need to update the hardware drivers for video, sound, etc ... but it will run fine on this machine.
