Mac Mini - GoPro Help


hello,

looking @ buying mac mini editing of gopro videos , photos. it's specs are:

processor
3.0ghz dual-core intel core i7 processor (turbo boost 3.5ghz) 4mb on-chip shared l3 cache

memory
8gb of 1600mhz lpddr3 memory

storage
1tb (5400-rpm) hard drive1

graphics
intel iris graphics

, wondering if mac mini able play 720p 240fps videos , 2.7k 60fps?

guys!
 

first off, don't bother i7. i5s , i7 in mini both dual core, , i7 5% more powerful 2.6ghz i5 @ best.

second, it's going extremely slow, because of 5400rpm hdd. if want fast, must go @ least fusion drive upgrade or 256gb (i'd go latter).

5400rpm hdd, apps open (10+ bounces in dock , slow boot times), while fusion drive or 256gb ssd, boot times within 11 seconds, , apps launch instantly.

intel's naming convention between mobile , desktop skus confusing uninitiated. long story short, both i5s , i7s in mac mini have hyperthreading (2 cores , 4 threads), there no advantage in buying i7 other being able show off can spend money on worthless upgrade.

between desktop ones, however, difference large, quad core desktop i5s lack hyperthreading, while desktop quad core i7s have hyperthreading (4 cores , 8 threads).

i7 upgrade makes sense if it's quad core hyperthreading. means happens imacs.

Safari and keyword search extensions (or apps)

i use 2 things safari: fastscripts cmd-# shortcuts tabs in safari firefox/chrome (which not necessary in el capitan, thankfully), , safari keyword search keyword searching in bar (e.g., "wp spokane" searches wikipedia article spokane , goes if/when possible). latter: safari keyword search abandonware. creator has nothing on home page nor github in years. there little bug where, inexplicably, dumps saved keywords, requiring manual reimports. i've tried omnikey , don't based on how can't handle encoding of spaces in search strings, how stores saved entries. keysearch: don't know how handles spaces in searches. may abandonware, has not had major update since updated safari 6 years ago. glims: don't know if still around. overkill anyway. have other suggestions on minimalist, still-supported utility keyword searching in address bar? nice able "wp" , "i" , "a" wikipedia / google image / ama...

Missing Installer.app

hey everyone, friend of mine trying install .pkg file , somehow unarchiver became default app use. told him uninstall unarchiver , tried locate installer.app set default, unable locate in mac hd/system/library/core services. running yosemite running mountain lion , assume that's should located. so, test, copied installer.app , told him place in folder. .pkg file recognized installer, not opened (see pic below) i'm assuming crashed because yosemite version won't run on mountain lion (maybe can confirm this). if that's case: 1) can tell me version runs on ml (maybe can check version have)? 2) since i'm not running ml, installer.app lion work (i have friend running lion on mac)? 3) noticed "system" has permissions use installer. have set same permission? if so, how do (can't add system via gui)? side note, told him long ago needs hd use time machine backup hasn't gotten around it. think situation motivate...
