When the 2014 Mac Mini arrived I bought a late 2012 Mac Mini with the i7. I upgraded the RAM to 16GB and the two hard drives to two Samsung SSDs (500GB and 250GB).
The machine worked fine doing/relearning FCP, doing mostly light work a couple of times per month. Nothing serious. Then few years ago with the engine change of FCP, the performance dropped too much for my taste.
I don't remember when that was exactly. Basically the system was lightly used and even that stopped a few years ago.
I still have its box and cables, all in perfect condition.
I realize that if I sell it, I won't get much, at least I assume so with the M1 being better than expected etc.
So, your opinion on this. Would you sell it or keep it doing nothing?
I wouldn't mind replacing it with a new M1 system (mini, imac or laptop), but that would require a lot of money I don't really think I can afford to now. Any money from selling it would go to other (non essential) expenses.
I would love to get input on this, in case I forgot or I am missing something in my logic.
I do continue doing video editing, but I am using a PC (i7 5960X, 64GB RAM, GTX 1660 Super) and mostly Vegas software.
Thank you.
