The Mini model I bought is the same one being offered today. It comes shipped with Mountain Lion and is upgradable to Mavericks for free. I am running Yosemite beta now and it's faster than ever.

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 have this MacBook Pro for about a month and I am very happy with it so far. I am still in the process of learning and using all the applications because they are a little different from my very old Apple desk top computer. Just be aware that Maverick does not allow you certain apps like Google Earth due to incompatibility. It appears very tedious to work around this.

Mavericks, along with every OS upgrade from mavericks on is a free upgrade. This will most likely come with mountain lion but you can upgrade to mavericks for free right when you get it.

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 have Mavericks OS 10.9.4 and it works fine. I don't know how far back it goes. The box it came in was destroyed in our earthquake so I don't have the Mac specs handy, but I would guess it might go back as far as Snow Leopard, maybe earlier, but that is just a guess. Is it not supplied with the sales specs for the product? Sorry, I don't have more info handy at this time. I do have to say that I have moved on to Rosetta Stone. They have a terrific sale (50% and I bought the full program Levels I-V for about $250. Don't know if it's still on, but I received it just before the quake. Now that Our house is about restored, I'm getting ready to load it up.

Mac OS 10.6 or newer - I have been using it with Lion for 18 months with no issues.

I'm using the iMic with Mavericks on a MacBook Pro and a Mini. It works fine with both.

John. I guess Amazon is still selling Mountain Lion. The upgrade happened two weeks ago ... But if you buy from Amazon, you can make the upgrade later. It's free. I advice you to buy 256GB. I've bought 128GB and now I need an external HD.

according to Apple's system requirements for 10.8 it can. I have not tried it myself but there are YouTube videos showing that it works. check this: osxdaily.com/2012/02/16/os-x-10-8-mountain-lion-system-requirements/ switch the Mini to boot into 64bit Kernel.

I have mine working on Mavericks. I upgraded from Mountain Lion with it already installed and it works fine. Other than my presenter mode not working which did not work on Mountain Lion either.

The reference "Mavericks" is to Mac OS X version 10.9...Sold in the apple.com store so I'm guessing the answer is yes but it is sold in the Apple Store...

Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.8 is the most recent OSX you can use. Anything newer won't install.

Yes. If using USB 3.0 you should use mountain lion due to the apple driver improvements in 10.8.2

Mine is a Early-2009 27" and that's what I used. Bumped it up to 8GB, reloaded Mountain Lion and now it screams like a brand new machine. Can't imagine needing to upgrade the hardware anytime soon. Great deal.

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 I have all Mac computers the MacBook Pro and the iMac desktop and I'm having no problem with the software! I don't know what system uses Maverick but if you are talking Mac Lion OS there are no problems.
