I am also looking at the 4TB Crucial P3 Plus PCIe Gen4 M.2 Solid State Drive SSD for $215. I’ve been looking at the 2TB Crucial P3 Plus PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD they are on sale for $110 which seems like a great deal. I want something that can keep up with the machine I buy. Most of the storage I have now are using sata or older SSD’s. I also need the best solution for adding storage. A side note, I always have a windows 11 machine in VMWare running in the background as I need to use it often for programming and sandboxing applications. I run close to or above 90% most of the time on my current IMacs, so I’m not sure a 16GB will be great for growth. Someone posted a 16GB, 512GB refurbished machine that looks pretty inviting. I want something I can grow into for years to come. Can you help me to pick the best bang for my buck.
I’ve read mixed reviews on the M2, many are saying the M1 is faster at a lot of tasks. I will indeed only look at M series from here on out. Thanks to all of you for preventing a very costly mistake. Boy am I glad I decided to post my question here before making my purchase. I was just checking here for confirmation. Wow, I was pretty much sold on the $750 machine. I have a 2016 MBP that I just like having for carrying around, but that's a convenience thing. This can all be done for very little money if you trade in what you have. I'm assuming you already have some external storage already with what you do with your computers, but make sure you have a good external SSD with good write speeds, and I'd maybe buy a thunderbolt hub to expand my connectivity. If I were in your shoes I'd sell/trade in the iMacs and get an M2 Mac Mini with 16gb RAM and a 512gb SSD that's a rockstar machine. Let me say this again: A base spec M2 Mac mini will outperform any of your current computers if you were to run side by side tests of compiling, processing audio, editing/exporting video, etc, so any RAM or SSD upgrades are just gravy on top.
I can't speak to the requirements of graphic design or the type of programming you're doing, but a base spec M2 will be a noticeable upgrade in every one of your use cases compared to your current equipment. That's all you need for audio production and light video editing.
The performance of the M1/2 chips is life-changing for someone who works on a Mac, and the price is right for the Mini.Īn M2 base Mac Mini is $599. Buying an intel Mac these days is a mistake, full stop.
