Big Sur vS MBA\mini with 4Gb ram : performances ??!!??

[emax81]

Hi. I can install Big Sur over a old Mac mini 2014 1,4 GHz with only 4Gb of ram ? Performances ???

Thanks

I think that would be laggy. If you are looking for a beta, don't try it. Instead, wait for the release date and see for yourself.

I'd wait for the released version too. If your Mac mini has an SSD I'm sure it'll be fine. If it has a hard drive--get an SSD.

About the same as Catalina (MBA 2013 - 4GB)

4GB with any newer OS is going to be laggy, it was probably laggy from the get go. SSD will help some so at least when it swaps it is swapping with faster storage.

Even with 4 GB it’s faster for me than the latest release of Catalina.

Current news are kernel panics, boot delat, temp issues, etc.
