I have a Mac Mini 2012, 2.6ghz quad core i7, SSD 256gb (w/ external drive attached), with 16gb ram. Have had it a month so far, and really love it. :) I am learning photography and plan on making some short films and photo editing. Your article has helped a LOT to better understand how the Mac Mini can handle things.
My question is: I have heard people complain about how hot the mini can get. So I was wondering if it's possible to get one of those laptop coolers (that connect to USB) & put the mini on top of that when its running hot. Do you think that would help? The mini is small enough that I would think it should work. Figured I'd ask you/suggest it as an option to cool things down a bit.
