My trusty 2010 Mac Mini seems to be running out of puff for this.
Even when I have downloaded a program - the fan goes on overdrive and there is a lot of stutter.

So... a replacement is needed.

I need small factor form - SSD.


Suggestions please.

Thank you in advance.

If it is literally just for Sky Go, thought about just getting a cheap Android Tablet?

Or pick up a dell refurb. Something with an i5.
Tablet won't cast to telly.

And Dell outlet doesn't seem to have small form factor. ( eg mac mini size )

You can’t cast Sky Go. The only way to connect to a tv for Sky Go is via hdmi from a laptop IIRC.
Correct
Which is why I am asking for a very small form factor box to do so to replace my very old Mac Mini
I could spend £1000 on a new Mac Mini - but I am sure other options are out thee.
