LR workstation, should I wait for Mac Studio M4?

Hi all,

As I run LR Classic on my PC in develop mode it runs okay but as soon as I add radial filters, subject masks and some other adustments, LR slows down very fast that I can't work anymore so I have to reboot my whole computer. Building 1:1 previews and exporting to JPEG takes forever to complete.

My PC specs: Intel Core i7-7820X CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz with 64GB internal memory and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti with 11GB memory.

I did some research and I was told this problem is due to CPU/GPU performance.

Clearly my PC is not capable anymore and I am also looking towards a Mac workstation, not a MacBook.

I mainly use Lightroom Classic and use it for culling, building 1:1 previews (so I can zoom in to see if an image is sharp) and export. There are usually 2000-3000 images per catalog that I have to cull and will end up with 400 images that needs editing.

I am looking towards the Mac Studio over the Mac Mini because it has more CPU/GPU.
But the Mac Mini has the new M4 chip and rumors say the Mac Studio will get a M4 upgrade mid 2025.

The question is; will a Mac Mini M4 Pro do the job (running LR smoothly) or is a Mac Studio M2 Max just fine or is it better to wait a few more months and get the Studio M4??

At this latest point any advice is welcome and I am willing to wait for the Mac Studio M4 but if that's not necessary I would like to know.

John
