[QUOTE="krs, post: 1851824, member: 67742"] Based on my experience with my 2012 Mini I would have to agree with Randy, except.... I upgraded from macOS 10.8 the OS the Mini came with to 10.11 and now to 10.14, six versions of the macOS and I filled the HDD up with over 400GB of date(on a 500GB drive) and the Mini is still plenty fast for all the types of tasks the OP mentioned. Windows PCs in the office we have to replace every 2-3 years because they slow down so much that it really affects connectivity, but I don't remember ever having replaced a Mac because its performance deteriorated significantly over time.
