Yes, absolutely it does run Mountain Lion, my mini at work (this model) does. When new, it came with the operating system Leopard. It needs to be running Snow Leopard (download from itunes store) before it can be upgraded to Mountain Lion.

Yes, you can load Snow Leopard or just about any Mac OS. On Oct. 29 I upgraded my Mac Mini to Mavericks

The one I received was early 2011, but my vendor (iPowerResale) installed Mavericks at my request. They'll install any of the three systems you want: Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks. Check with the vendor you order from first. VERY satisfied with mine!

My MBA came with Mountain Lion. I use it on my lap and works great, any problem.

yes it is. I got this product in december 2013 and it is great product. Just make sure to upgrade to OSX 10.9 Mavericks and again to Yosemite in the fall.

Bought mine at Best Buy two weeks ago and it also had Snow Leopard. Updated all software and contacted apple for the free upgrade that they all are eligible for. They sent me a code a day later and was able to download off the app store in 3 hrs and another half to install. It's up and running now with Lion.A different keyboard would be nice but its a great machine, why wait?

I had a similar bad experience with installing Mavericks on a similar iMac. While the additional memory was helpful, I don't think the newer OSs are exactly compatible with legacy models; we had overheating and random shutdown issues. We eventually rolled back to Snow Leopard and it's been much better since.

I think that you should get a new version of a macbook pro. This one is a old version and doesnt run the new OS X mountain lion.

Fortunately no. I still use an older Mac and OS. There is a comaprison chart at Roaring Apps to see if any other things with Lion/Mountain Lion. Good Luck!

I'm sorry I'm not qualified to answer. This is my first Mac and I'm just not familiar with past models.
