My mini (2.6 i7 Quad, 16G RAM, 1T internal drive) is quite good enough as it is for the work I'm doing, but I'm adding a second internal SSD drive to it over the holiday break. I use it with a Thunderbolt Display, a full size wired keyboard, and wireless trackpad. I have a bunch of external drives for data, backup and archives. I went this way rather than another laptop or iMac because if I want to upgrade CPU, it's easy to just unplug the old one and plug in the new one. And I can use it with my work laptops anytime I need to as well. I've used the same display and peripherals through five different machines in the past two years.
