Hello,
Yeah, so I just picked up a late 2014 Mac Mini - i5 2.8/8GB/1TB Fusion Drive for $560. The guy told me he bought it in November, so I still had some time on the warranty and could also get AppleCare if I wanted to. I checked the serial number and everything came up fine and I found out that is has AppleCare unit October 2017. I thought I got a pretty good deal.
Now, I bought it to replace a Windows laptop that we were using just for web browsing, really. Then I started thinking...can I use this for school purposes? I have a PC that I use, but I have to worry about file compatibility going from Mac (at school) to my PC. If I don't have to do that, it would be great.
I am in a Video Motion Graphics program. We use Adobe Creative Cloud, Final Cut Pro and I am pretty sure it is going to need me to use Logic Pro, as well. I know that the later two I have to use Mac for, but I would have to go to campus to use one. If I don't have to and I can use the "new" Mini that I got, it would be amazing. I will also be using it for personal light Garageband projects.
So, my question is how do you all think that this model Mac Mini will do?
Thank you in advance for all responses!
