That would be something I personally would wait for to upgrade, but if the 16 GB in your current mini is working for you and your workload is not “heavy lifting” or “CPU guzzling”, the M1 mini with 16 GB and it’s faster SSD should be fine. I think the biggest “jump” in the next Mac mini would be a higher RAM ceiling (hopefully at least 24 GB like the M2 MacBooks).

I think the M1 mini gives a nice speed boost, you likely won’t ever hear the fan, and they’re shipping now. The M2 MacBook benchmarks higher than the M1 models, but the rumors are mixed in when an M2 Mac mini would actually ship…could be a few months, could be next year.

The 2018 Mac mini was one of the best computers I’ve owned, and the MacBook Air gave a pretty noticeable speed boost for “normal” tasks (due to the higher performance CPU and the memory and disk/SSD throughput). Twist the black base counter-clockwise to unlock the base, and gently lift the base clear of the device. You’d see similar benchmarks on the M1 Mac mini. Flip over the Mac Mini so the open and closed dots are facing you. Upgrading storage on iPhones are possible, but involves high-skill soldering and pre-programming. In case you haven’t already heard the news, Apple announced a new slate of Macs in November 2020. Swapping original parts may not work, not to mention trying to replace it with aftermarket parts. Compare iMac models and find all the iMac accessories you need from the Apple range at JB Hi-Fi. Here are the GeekBench results for each Mac: As the trend goes with Apple products, all smart parts are serial-paired and possibly encrypted. Obviously you could only put in what the motherboard supported, but it was a step in the right direction. I used that same Mac mini model for three years and switched to a M1 MacBook Air over the last year. Posted: Options The first Mac Minis allowed a CPU upgrade (if you were brave enough) as well as RAM, disk and optical drive.
