@matigo We could double the RAM for under $60 cos this machine has user-accessible RAM
Men’s Shed insurance claim will be paid out tomorrow. An electrical/music store has a 6-day sale on Macs, 10% off until Sunday. So ½ the insurance payment will go to a new 2020 base model 27-in iMac. That’s $280 off normal price.
@sumudu That's more or less how I acquired my cat. She had been abandoned at the age of 5½ (when they left to go overseas) and taken to an RSPCA animal shelter.
@sumudu Of course he didn’t. If he had brought one, there would have been no rain. That’s how umbrellas work, they deter rain. Bring one with you, no rain. Fail to do so & you get wet.

2019 iPad Mini has the same RAM; GPU & CPU as the current 10.2 in iPad 8.
But the Mini scores higher in the Geekbench 5 multi-core CPU test. I put this down to having 60% of the screen area of the bigger unit.
A year ago I ran Geekbench 5 on my 5th gen iPad. A few days ago I did the same with my 8th gen iPad. Significant difference.

@matigo It is compared to the iPad 5. However, the iPad Mini has the same processor & RAM as the iPad 8 but a smaller display. So it was no surprise to see Geekbench 5 results at around 5% faster for the Mini.
Geekbench 5 says the Mini has a 2.49 GHz ARM processor against a 2.49 GHz Apple Silicon one in the iPad 8.
