Currently using a 2016 i7 16GB Macbook Pro for Illy and Photoshop.
Thinking about getting a secondary machine - new M1 MacMini, but with only 8GB. Trying to get the cheapest Mac available.
Is this a viable option? Anyone in the know?
- Probably comparable or better performancemonospaced
- I upped the ram to 16gb in my M1 mini and I'm glad I did, not that much extra and you cant upgrade it later.slappy
- once CC is M chip friendly it will run circles around that 2016 mbpinteliboy
- I have heard that you cannot connect external monitor to new M1...among other limitations....so be carefuldkoblesky
- I want one....but have to wait for MacBook Pro version hopefully this yeardkoblesky
- Look at the tests on the M1 Air, the lack of ventilation kills its performance so if you're doing anything intensive... wait for a better chassis.zarkonite
- i regret my 256gb purchase, wish i would have gone with 512imbecile
- You most definitely can attach external displays. Haha.monospaced
- I have the M1 Macbook Pro, do you mean wait for the 16" version @zarkonite? Also connects to a monitor beautifully :)slappy
- M1 Mac mini here. Baseline. It’s perfect BUT overall software catching up... if you’re doing 4K video, I’d say upgrade BUT for design, development, etc...ideaist
- ...baseline is fine.
Fuck fake monitor news / fake news. Works a charm across the board. Approved.ideaist - "cannot connect external monitor"
Are you on crack dko?Hayzilla - Oh nevermind, I mis-read and thought you were considering an M1 Air for work...zarkonite
- Thanks for the insights. I think I'm confident with M1 Mac Mini now. But just debating that few extra $ for more Ram, since this was an unexpected purchase.randommail
- I went with the base because B&H was selling for only $650! (normally 700)randommail
- Nice @randommail; enjoy!!!ideaist
