I just got my MacMini with 16GB of memory. I was surprised to find I only had 1.6GB of free memory left running Safari, Mail, Messages. I‘ll did deeper tomorrow. Do things run in the background upon set-up. Oh, I am using the Logitech app. and dongle/receiver for my BT MX series keyboard and mouse. I’ll check activity monitor tomorrow.
