Mac Mini, Mac Studio, Mac Pro. Which is the best? Hi everyone, Good day. I am planning to get a unit on either any of these three devices for using software like DaVinci Resolve Studio, Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat Pro and other up to 5 Adobe software, so either: 1. Mac Mini (32GB RAM) + 27" Display 2. Mac Studio (32GB RAM) + 27" Display 3. Mac Pro (32GB RAM) + 27" Display Seek opinion from everyone. Thank you very much.

Recommended system requirements for Adobe CC. I am wondering what the real world requirements are in a Mac, of any model, for running Adobe CC apps. Obviously Adobe publishes it’s minimum and recommended requirements but what about the reality. You start off opening an image in Bridge, do some adjustments in Camera Raw, open it in Photoshop, then you might bring that image into Illustrator or InDesign before finishing off in Acrobat before sending the work off on it’s merry way. That means you could have four or five of the Adobe cpu hungry apps open at once. I’m retired now so this is not for work but beach balls are for the beach, not my display.

iMac M3 (2023) vs Mac Studio M2-Max for professional video editing I am conflicted between buying an iMac M3 against the Mac Studio M2 Max for video editing for feature-length documentaries. The major questions & observations are as follows: M3 being the latest chip is offered only at its base level in the new iMac 24" with 8-CORE CPU & 10-CORE GPU vs M2 Max an older generation offers greater 12-CORE CPU & 30-CORE GPU. Does it make sense as a video editor to invest in M3 (newer generation chip) over the better specs of M2 Max in the Mac Studio? My major concerns as an editor are about render speed, export speed and working with 4K material. I personally don't apply heavy effects at my stage of editing as color correction and sound happens in professional studios. Which chip would do better in both cases of working with proxies or raw footage? Of what I hear, proxies shall become a thing of the past soon with more powerful and intelligent computers. But of now, in simpler words, which of the two makes my life easier? Price Factor: both the configuration comes up to a similar price bracket but the Studio will require additional costs of buying a Monitor, Keyboard, mouse and Speakers. On the other hand, the iMac is an integrated system, all inclusive. Is the look and feel of an iMac above an assembled work station with more economical monitor etc to budget? (Personally, its a bummer to buy a mac and not have the feel of the apple retina screen.)
