I was disappointed that the best thing the new Mini has to offer is six cores. Yeah, lots of Thunderbolt, but I don't own any such devices, so I'd have to buy a lot of adapters. And just how many USB ports does one get out of one Thunderbolt port?

I, too, changed the internal 5400rpm mechanical drive for a 2TB SSD, as well as upgrading the memory, and the performance improvements were like going from dark night to bright day.

I suspect I would get a lot more out of my 2012 Mini if only Apple would fix the problem of VoiceOver not being stuck to using one CPU core. More cores would be nice for folks using programs that hog CPU, but so far, the only program I've found that ever hogged CPU on my Mini that is now in its last year of operating-system upgradability is VO. SO I'll keep my 2012 Mini until I absolutely positively cannot use High Sierra any more. Yes, I can upgrade to Mojave, but not until Avid says I can (LOL). Gotta love companies either not being ready for these things, or for being ultra-conservative about OS upgrades.
