I don't know whether the SSD in the late 2012 Mac Mini is upgrade able and if so, whether I could install it myself or would have to have it professionally installed. I upgraded the hard drive on an early 2011 MacBook Pro in the past, so would be willing to give it a shot if it is capable and user friendly to do so.

I shoot RAW. The only post processing software I use right now is Aperture. I have been thinking about installing Photoshop Elements, but will need to check the required hardware/software specs. I have a 2 TB Seagate external hard drive currently, but could upgrade it to a higher capacity one if needed. I am mostly concerned about whether my CPU is powerful enough and whether the amount of RAM I have will be sufficient. I am currently using a 27" Thunderbolt Display. My other concern is whether the graphics hardware is up to the task.

I am fortunate to have some nice Pentax glass and am considering the K-1. My only reservation is whether my current computer configuration would be able to digest the files created by a 36 megapixel camera. I currently have a 2012 Mac Mini with the following specs:
Intel i7 @ 2.3 GHz (turbo boost to 3.3 GHz)
16 GB DDR3 memory
240 GB SSD
1 TB SATA Disk (5400 RPM)
I know amongst our members there are many who are very knowledgable in this area. Any feedback/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ---------- Post added 03-19-16 at 11:34 PM ---------- I forgot to include the graphics info.
Intel HD Graphics 4000:
Chipset Model: Intel HD Graphics 4000
Type: GPU
Bus: Built-In
VRAM (Dynamic, Max): 1024 MB
