Personally, I’d be utterly amazed if anyone on this forum could do anything that would tax this new base Mini..!
Who buys a car that does 200mph+ if you never go over 70mph?! Yes, Apple make an M4Pro chip. You can get Windows PC’s with $2000+ video cards. But do you NEED one?
Let’s not confuse ‘specs’ for ‘capability’. For what WE do, this is likely to be the last computer we ever buy. Nobody’s scoring for Hollywood, we aren’t running TB sized orchestral libraries (that cost $1000’s) and editing multiple 8K video streams in Dolby Atmos. In OUR lives, it’s doubtful anyone’s even doing 24 track audio production using stock plugins and maybe editing a 1080p YouTube video. Russ is possibly the only member here doing anything more than that…
No need to spend more than the base M4 Mini. It’s tiny, it’s whisper quiet (useful in a studio!), elegant and secure. Ticks all MY boxes for sure!
Yes, but just like larger roads to reduce congestion just leads to more cars, more powerful computers mean software manufactures will make programs even bigger, that tax even the M4, thats just how computers go. (If it didn't everything would still be running on a Commodore 64)
