Sounds like you may need to get the rumoured new Mac mini... ha.
2015's are still pretty capable machines though, so if you wanted you could upgrade your internal SSD to a much bigger one and get another few years out of it.eGPU = external GPU, its a way of pairing up high end desktop graphics cards with laptops, which is great for GPU intensive work such as editing video and playing games (which is what I use mine for). They can be a bit expensive, I do have a spare I am selling, but then its another thing to plug in and I dont think it'll actually be super useful for your use case.

I’m finding it a little slow in some situations. I do think that might partly be a scratch disc thing though. 120gb is not a lot, especially with all that adobe crap installed on it! I often have to use an external hd as a scratch disc.
What’s an eGPU and where can I catch, kill and skin one?
EDIT - part of the issue is a desk-space thing. Using a laptop and having to plug and unplug a load of screens, tablets, usb stuff etc is a pain and seems to take up all of my desk. i really want to switch to a permanent desk set up, then just use my laptop when i need to do quick work in the house etc.
