Same here with a 2009 base mac mini, upgraded a long time ago to 8gb and an ssd. My kids use it for scratch, youtube and homework. My wife uses it for online shopping. The key hardware features are dual cores, 8 gb ram and an ssd (not emmc or hdd). Anything with that kind of spec can still run modern software reasonably well.
