As well the mini will drive 2 4k monitors.

I don't think a 2013 drive will support with the optimum write speed for those drives For example, my Mac mini will process and write 10 jpegs of approximately ~1 MB, from full size images to 3840-2160 and process from raw to jpeg, in less than 2 seconds, it's usually done before I look up to see if it's done. It greatly increase write and save times, but for photography, at least for me, I really can't function on less than a 250 GB internal drive, On my Mac mini I currently use a Samsung 1 TB SSD and a 6 GB HD. My 2010 4 core i7 has a new 250 GB hard drive installed by the local authorized Apple technician. If your experience with Mac goes well, then getting even the cheapest current generation M1 Mac will be a massive upgrade, and that's where your money should go.My Mac mini with the M1 just flies.

If your experience with Mac goes well, then getting even the cheapest current generation M1 Mac will be a massive upgrade, and that's where your money should go. But still it's better than having a computer with compromised security. You need to read up on it first and accept that the computer will be slow. I did that with an old iMac before just to make sure it was getting security updates and it worked OK. So I think that 2013 model should still be a usable computer for light use.īy the way, if you really want to eke out more life from a Mac, there are ways you can trick it into installing a newer OS version, even if Apple doesn't allow it. I was using it for managing 16mp JPEG files from my K-5 IIs and that was no sweat. Having said that, I was using a 2010 MacBook Air (Core 2 Duo) until this January, and it wasn't really causing me any stress until I had to spend the whole day in Webex and Zoom conferences. The RAM, the older screen and processor are limitations that you can't get around.

You can probably get a replacement battery too, but I don't think it's worth it. That's a third of the way to getting the current model Air.

A quick search showed that a 1TB internal SSD upgrade is $299.

Sure, there are companies that will sell you upgrades to the internal SSD, but they are a bit pricy and the money would be better used toward a new system. My advice would be to give it a go just to see if you like Mac OS, but don't spend any significant money on it.
