Q: Buying advice - mac mini or iMac (or even MacBook Pro)
Hi guys
I'm in need of a new (mostly desktop) computer. As I have a Dell consumer-grade display capable of 4K video I'm thinking of getting Mac Mini. However as I understand they have not been updated in a while which worries me a bit.
Here's what i need it for:
- Basic and sometimes a bit more advanced photo editing (Apple Photos mostly, Photoshop sometimes)
- DJing and live broadcasts (Traktor - doesn't require too much CPU, Facebook live broadcasts through Wirecast - this takes a bit as i add many layers of video)
- Occasional travel videos (Final Cut Pro X, at this point 1080p, in future 4K)
- All the regular stuff - web, email
Although I will use this mac mostly on weekends every now and then the need for specs is clearly there. And I want my purchases to be as future-proof as possible.
What would you guys and gals recommend in this use case?
NB! I don't rule out MacBook Pro (13 inch then) either.
thanks
