I upgraded from a 2011 iMac to 2020 Mac mini so of course I am impressed with its speed. The 8Gb RAM isn't so large but the enormous speed of the Mac mini SSD and chips allows me to have several apps open and open even more and the speed at which it opens them is not diminished, not even by opening photos. Its powerful and I am very happy with my purchase. I did buy a Satechi Aluminium Stand Hub which has the same profile and sits precisely under the Mac mini. The Satechi brings several of the data ports to the front and adds SD and Micro SD ports to boot - its worth the extra $119. The SD ports are springloaded - very nice touch. Remember the large SD port needs the card loaded with the contacts facing up.
