[QUOTE="S.SubZero, post: 1792218, member: 51635"] If you are enjoying it, that's great. I deploy Macs at work, and our marketing team bought a bunch of these for trade show kiosks. I found them quite miserable to set up and use, for any purpose. We scolded the marketing team, and now we're trying to replace them with 8GB+SSD models. Apple clearly stopped optimizing macOS for 4GB RAM and slow hard disks back around El Capitan and High Sierra absolutely loathes them. This probably explains why that Mac Mini is the only thing Apple sells that still has 4GB RAM, and why people berate Apple for selling the iMacs with non-fusion drives, particularly since those aren't intended to be opened by end-users.
