![]() Everything still works, but I worry that everything is almost 10 years old (except for new SSD that gave it new life). but there is no guarantees that there will be a new Mac Mini next year. I don't mind waiting until March and spending a couple of hundred more. Should I wait for the next Mac Mini, or should I just buy the M1? I think the M1 should be sufficient, but I'd hate to buy it and then have something newer / better come out in a couple of months. The beating would have been even worse if we had access to the CTO 2.6GHz Quad-Core i7 Mac mini from 2012. I do basic things (web, managing finances), do some minor photo editing, but would like to do some editing of home videos. For multi-core CPU intensive tasks, the Quad-Core 2012 Mac mini excelled even with a lower core clock speed. I was hoping for a new Mac Mini at the recent "Unleashed" event, but it looks like the next Apple event could be in March '22 (or Sep?). I seem to keep waiting until the 'next one' that is imminent and am pleasantly surprised that my i7 is still doing what I need. I have a late 2012 Mac Mini i7, 2.3GHz, 16GB RAM, SSD, and external HD for media storage and am debating whether I should upgrade to the new Mac Mini (2020 M1, 16GB RAM).
