[QUOTE="Algus, post: 1644659, member: 319021"] Well before the 2014 Minis came along, it was an excellent product line. I've been a big fan of them since they were introduced, even if we had to take a putty knife to them in the old days LOL That 2012 Quad-Core Mini is still a pretty great unit! RAM is super easy to replace, storage is a bit trickier but there are some good videos about pulling the guts out to do it. If you've got Target Display Mode on your iMac you can do this, as others have mentioned. If you're not a real big tech-head post your About This Mac info and we can give you some advice on whether the hardware is a good step up or not. Depending on your model, a RAM upgrade and a clean install of the OS might be a really cheap and cost-efficient method of getting you back up to top speed. [/QUOTE]
