Hello everybody,

 

Im about to get a new computer for my work. I work as a graphic artist and I spend all day using Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign and Dreamweaver (90% of the time Im working in Indesign). Im between the Mac Mini or the Mac Studio. The price between the Mini M2 Pro with 32gb ram and a Studio M2 Max with 64gb ram is around $500. Both with 1TB of SSD. Anyway... should I go full power with the Mac Studio or the Mini with the M2 Pro and 32gb will do the job fine?..

 

Thanks for all the help

    I would go for the Studio M2 Max with 64GB.

     

    You can always add an external to the Thunderbolt 4 ports and run as fast as storage right on the chip. But you can't upgrade the RAM. You get what you buy with the system, and more is always better. Especially if you're doing work with Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop. You'll be glad you did.

     

    Hope this helps,

    You need to ask program questions in the forum for the program you are using

    Moving from Using the Community (which is about the forums) to the Indesign forum

    I also use Photoshop and Illustrator so I didn't want to label it 100% on using Indesign.
