Mac Mini 2014 (MGEM2GU/A) enough for a web developer?

Question

Mac Mini

the laptop itself for 2012 has an average multimedia, not i3
if you compare it and the Mac Mini 2014 (MGEM2GU / A) is it heaven and earth?
because they took a friend a year later than mine, about the same and works even worse than mine .... it seems to be progress, but something was not visible

Answer 1

I have Mac mini 2012. i7, 4GB.
Memory is not enough, but I have a habit of using chrome and opening a bunch of tabs.
And so everything is fine. But it is better to take more memory.
More brakes with the Photo application arise.

Answer 2

Will not be enough.
The language is not specified, so let's assume it's Ruby or PHP.
There will not be enough RAM (now 8 will not be enough, I recommend 16) and without an SSD everything will slow down (PhpStorm or RubyMine).

Answer 3

Will not be enough. Processor 1.4 and memory 4 - not enough.
