I just went through an upgrade. Wintel, not Mac.
The critical things a SSD and lots of RAM. 8GB RAM is
respectable; 16 GB is better. Not all SSD are now created equal
- I got a Samsung EVO 970, which uses a NVMe PCIe M.2 interface, so
it's 30 times faster than SATA. This is a massive upgrade.
Had I gone AMD instead of Intel, I probably could have
save a couple hundred on it.
It's now a quiet enough machine to track acoustic in the same
space.
A new Mac Mini is around a respectable $800. Not ... too bad, but
as the usual, you can get twice the hardware with Windows.
