Hey all! I am thinking about upgrading my late model 2012 mini, 2.3GHz Intel i7 Quad-Core 1TB HDD 8 GB RAM. It's been an awesome system and I'm mostly still happy with it, I mainly use it for downloading (some net surfing) and to stream plex to our other TVs in the house. It's slow from time to time and it does cause Plex to buffer occasionally, which is a little aggravating. When it's downloading it sounds like it's working REALLY hard. Like I need to get it a cabana boy to keep it cool.
I'd like to also carry a decent sized library so that I'm not constantly deleting things in order to keep it from being bogged down.
I don't necessarily want to get rid of it as it's been an awesome investment, but think it's time for something with more RAM and a faster processor. I'm not opposed to buying a refurb, as the current one was and I've never had an issue with it. I'd like to NOT spend a boatload of money- under $1k is ideal.
What do you all suggest?
