That would be something I personally would wait for to upgrade, but if the 16 GB in your current mini is working for you and your workload is not “heavy lifting” or “CPU guzzling”, the M1 mini with 16 GB and it’s faster SSD should be fine. I think the biggest “jump” in the next Mac mini would be a higher RAM ceiling (hopefully at least 24 GB like the M2 MacBooks). I think the M1 mini gives a nice speed boost, you likely won’t ever hear the fan, and they’re shipping now. The M2 MacBook benchmarks higher than the M1 models, but the rumors are mixed in when an M2 Mac mini would actually ship…could be a few months, could be next year. The 2018 Mac mini was one of the best computers I’ve owned, and the MacBook Air gave a pretty noticeable speed boost for “normal” tasks (due to the higher performance CPU and the memory and disk/SSD throughput). Once you download Parallels on your Mac, its installation assistant will grab and load up the Windows 11 ISO file for you, and the M1 chip’s performance chops wrap up that process in about 30. You’d see similar benchmarks on the M1 Mac mini. Here are the GeekBench results for each Mac: I used that same Mac mini model for three years and switched to a M1 MacBook Air over the last year.
