I have an iMac with Intel chip 32gb memory installed and been using it with Photoshop, topaz, skylum products for photos.
i was thinking about getting a M3 Macbook Air with 16gb memory as the iMac (2017) is now six-seven years old.
Your comments?
iMac 21.5″ 4K, macOS 13.6
Adobe, Topaz, and Skylum all seem to recommend 16+ GB of RAM for their products.
So if you go with a M3 MacBook Air, you definitely should get 16 GB or 24 GB of RAM. If you need more RAM than that, a 14" MacBook Pro that has a M3 Pro or M3 Max chip could be ordered with 36 GB or more of RAM.
How many external displays do you plan to use with your computer? The M3 MacBook Airs can drive two, but only when their lids are closed, and with some limitations on the second display. A MacBook Pro that uses a M3 Pro or M3 Max chip could drive two displays with the lid open.
