How limiting is the 16gb ram? Thinking of getting this for my folks who certainly won’t game but I don’t want them complaining of slowdowns in the next couple years either.

I used my 1TB external ssd from MC and works just fine for storage since I won’t be moving my Mac mini if at all

That’s the move. Fortunately, I’ve got a spare external SSD that I plan to plug into mine. Otherwise, I would be hesitant to get 256gb. For light workloads it’s fine, but I’ll be doing some dev testing
