The new Mac Mini is a fine piece of machine. Played with the new i5 version at the Apple Store and Final Cut Pro runs really smoothly and quickly on it. FCPX also loads faster on the Mac Mini compared to the high end iMac, most likely due to SSD in the Mini vs. Fusion drive in the iMac.
Anyway, just wanted to see how many ole faithful Mac Mini's are still performing duty out in the wild. Please stand up!
I have a 2010 Mac Mini with 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo and 2GB ram that I bought brand new and to this day still running like a little champ. In 2014, she was running slow, so I gave her a boost in energy by replacing the 2GB of ram with 8GB of ram. And then in 2018 I replaced the 320GB HDD with 500GB of SSD to give it a new life, and on top of that running High Sierra.
I wouldn't try doing any video work on it, and it stutters when running 1080p YouTube video in full screen on the 1440p monitor, but everyday tasks like checking email, web browsing, editing documents, and playing music are still snappy.
If anyone knows how I can get it to run smoothly playing 1080p YouTube videos in full screen please do tell.
Which Mac Mini are you running and what duty is it performing? Do share!
