To transfer user data and files from the Mac mini to a new Mac, use Time Machine to create a backup of the mini to an external drive. When you get your new Mac, connect that TM backup drive to the new Mac, along with the keyboard and mouse and use the Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant app to transfer your data.
