8y

Well, I just wasted £250. I needed a Mac to build iOS apps so I got the newest Mac Mini with lowest specs (I’m still a student). I thought that 4GB would be enough as my laptop runs fine with 4 but NOPE.

ITS SUPER SLOW, XCode takes >10 minutes to even launch and RAM is always at max, I even had to get the Mac Mini without upgradable ram.

I worked all summer just to get a Mac which is sluggish, :/.

    Upgrade to 8GB and install an SSD with min. 64GB 😉

    @Christian1998 It’s the Mac Mini 2014 or else I would have already

    @githelp I have the same... I did upgrade to 8GB. I run tons of services and use xcode all the time. The ram makes a difference.

    Why not upgrade your laptop and run OSX in a VM? I am pretty certain apple even lets you do this if it's only used for development

    Check the return policy. You might be able to get your money back.

    That's why I aim for an iMac
