Question Mac Mini 8gb advice please

[andy5898]

At present we are running a 7 year old Dell PC Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz with 16GB ram. We are thinking of updating and buying a Mini Mac 8gb. Its been a long time since we last bought a computer I just wanted to make sure the mini mac is an upgrade to what we have not just a side step? I know being 7 years newer helps but just wanted to make sure.

Thanks

What sort of tasks do you perform/apps do you use on your current system and why are you upgrading to a latter platform?

General office tasks and school things, powerpoint presentations, excel etc. Web browsing, Photos and music but not much editing of them
