Hi all,
Please help me choose.
I am switching from Windows to macOS.
I'm not living in USA, but will convert all prices into dollars to make it more clear.
Option 1: used 2018 mac mini with i3 8gb ram(will upgrade to 16gb), SSD 128gb +magic trackpad 2 space gray + magic keyboard space gray - great condition, from a colleague for 900$.
or
Option 2: new 2018 mac mini with i7, 8gb ram(will upgrade to 16gb) 128gb SSD + no accesories included for 1300$.
I won't lie, I would rather go with option 1 cause it is more affordable and I have all accesories I need ready. However I'm not sure if it will be enough for my needs.
What are my needs?
Visual studio code, web develpoing, alot of Safari tabs open, 3440x1440 (ULTRAWIDE) resolution monitor, movies, Office applications.
no video editing, no uploading videos.
Will the i3 be enough for it? Please share your thoughts.
Thank you.
