If I get any kind of Apple, it will be the minimum product line needed that will run Adobe Products and Capture One. From the Studio thread, I gathered that a Mac Mini can do quite well. From my perspective, there's no point going for Studio itself, what with Apple's embedded obsolescence.
With the helpful comments in the Microsoft Windows 10 (or 11?) thread, I gather a good choice would be the Mac Mini with 512 GigaBytes SSD storage for $899, plus 16 megabyte Unified Storage. Total: $1079.
I thought about some sort of Labtop. But, I'll have my own color-managed monitor, and I really don't have the need for portable computing. I also thought about last year's Intel based model. I'm not sure if that option at extra cost really offers that much benefit.
I'm a hobbyist; I will only be working on still photos, though from a Phase One P45+ digital back. (39 megapixels.) I'll use Capture One for pre-conversion image manipulation and for the conversion itself. Thereafter, I can finish the image in Photoshop.
Am I on the right track with this configuration?
