I have a friend who runs a local photography business, primarily using Adobe Lightroom Classic. She has asked me to help her choose a new Mac. She is currently using the following:
Model: Mac mini (2018)
Processor: 3.2 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7
Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB
Memory: 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4
Storage: 500GB Apple SSD
She needs something with more performance and storage. She's also using a more basic 1080P display and is looking to upgrade that as well.
We are looking at either the new iMac with the M3 chip with the following specs:
Model: iMac (M3)
Chip: Apple M3 (8‑core CPU with 4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores, 10‑core GPU, and 16‑core Neural Engine)
Memory: 24 GB unified memory
Storage: 2TB SSD
...or a Mac mini with the M2 Pro chip plus an Apple Studio Display:
Model: Mac mini (M2 Pro)
Chip: Apple M2 Pro (10‑core CPU, 16-core GPU, 16‑core Neural Engine)
Memory: 32 GB unified memory
Storage: 2TB SSD
Any thoughts on what might be a better solution? Any insights would be helpful!
