Which of the following should I buy?
--New Mac Mini ($699 model with 2.6GHz dual-core i5 Haswell processors with 3MB on-chip shared L3 cache; 1 TB hard drive; 8 GB of 1600MHz LPDDR3 memory)
--2012 Mac Mini ($699-new; with 2.3GHz quad-core i7 Ivy Bridge processors with 6MB L3 cache; 1 TB hard drive; 4 GB of 1600MHz DDR3 memory)
--2012 Mac Mini (special deal: $360-new; 2.5GHz dual-core i5 processors with 3MB L3 cache; 500 GB hard drive; 4 GB of 1600MHz DDR3 memory)
The only potentially CPU-intensive activity might be occasional video editing.
