Mac Mini can handle all your basic needs.

If u plan to do video editing, please add more RAM. My 2012 i7 Mac Mini has 16GB RAM.

Nope.

If 2012, have built-in HDMI port.

For Thunderbolt port, u need Mini DVI with active support. Most adapters sold outside only offer passive support.

Haha okay. But very hard to get 2012 mac mini edi la. Thinking that maybe i could opt for refurbished 2011 model. See below. Also got hdmi port, maybe i could use this one for simple mac usage smile.gif

2012 is the most sought after model. 2011 also can but better u find the fastest processor and upgrade to max RAM.
