    Re: Mac mini M1 Thoughts

    I use a 2009 Mini as a back-up. It got upgraded to 8Gb RAM and a 250Gb SSD, works like a charm.
    There are later Minis that will accept more RAM. For instance, the 2012 i7 models would be a great fit for your purposes and are under $500.
    Maybe the latest Minis aren't necessarily the best option.
    Or consider the all-in-one iMac, very powerful and a 2012 model is easily upgraded if you want.

    I use PS and LR quite a lot with large scanned images, and I'm running a 2011 iMac as my main computer.

    I use a 2018 Mac Mini in which I installed 16Gb of RAM for photo processing and it works great. I don't know enough to have an opinion on the new model.

    As I mentioned in a different thread, I've been pondering much the same as the OP--as you might expect, the topic is coming up a lot over at Fred Miranda's joint, e.g.

    https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1677155

    One issue that was raised in that thread was the M1 Mac Minis connectivity options with other devices--the new ones might not have the number/kinds of ports you need. (Apple giveth and Apple taketh away.)

    Good points all

    I have LR but really dislike it and don't use it, I use PS daily

    I am going to wait for my Win 10 tower with SSD and 32 Ram to fail
