I am trying to decide which version of the 2018 Mini to buy.
Could someone help me with some questions?
1. Would the 3.6 ghz 4-Core feel more snappy than the 3.0ghz 6-core if I never
use more than 4 cores?
2. Is the SSD user upgradable? Apple wants $400 to upgrade to the 512GB SSD
on the 4-Core. Very high price.
3. If I got the 4-Core, could I just add a Crucial 16GB RAM SIMM for $145 to make
24GB or do I need to take out the Apple 8GB SIMM? Apple is more expensive for
less Ram. ($200 for 16GB total)
4. Is it fair to say the 4-Core will run quieter with less fan noise than the 6-core?
The last time Apple put a 4-Core in a mini it couldn't handle the heat and the fans
were always at full speed.
5. Which I-Mac model matches the 4-Core Mini in terms of CPU/GPU performance
6. Which I-Mac model matches the 3.0ghz 6-core in terms of CPU/GPU performance
You could spend $1700 bumping up a 2018 Mini out so I am trying to control the cost.
Right now I have a 2017 MacBook Pro Retina 15" with 16GB Ram and 512GB SSD
so I would like to match the Ram and SSD in the Mini then sell the MacBook Pro.
Thanks..
