Can you explain this a little better? I have a MAc Mini 2014 lying around that never got to put to good use (I inherited it when my father died) and one of my daughters tried to use for video editing but deciding against because of the memory limitations.
Would you say even thought with the little RAM it is still good?
- InvaderFizz 6y ago2014 Mini is nearly useless. It's a mobile dual core cpu.
- ghufran_syed 6y agoNot for video editing, and unfortunately the 2014 Mac mini doesn't allow upgrading the ram

It’s nearly impractical to use the chrome inspector. To get around that I’ve tried using both Spotify and discord in browser, and occasionally Spotify will cut out for a few seconds. At one point I resorted to using xquartz to run a few things remotely. It was.. okay but frankly vnc performed better.
