so over time you will always need more to keep up with it. Reality is, the Adobe product lineup is a notorious resource hog. The Pro is a lot more to pay for something you aren't going to use. how many ports do you currently use on it? Do you have a need for the additional ports of the Pro? If you ran all the stuff you currently do on your i3 Mini on your M1 laptop, would you be happy with that level of performance? Going forward the selling points will be in relation to how many ports does it have, storage size, does it support 8K video and the like. Now that there is no significant gap in travel, the performance boosts will be less jaw dropping. reducing the travel time between the processors and related graphics, memory, et al. The initial jump was due to the switch to a system on a chip.
I wouldn't expect astounding performance gains with Apple Silicon going forward.
So I'm stuck! Anyone with the absolute base M1 or M2 model able to reassure me that it is the bargain it appears to be? (Or ward me off of it?) And an M2 with 16GB of memory is £850, which then makes an extra £400 for faster, more ports and more internal storage look a good deal. My instinct is that £685 more for the Pro is a lot more to pay for marginal performance gain, but 8GB memory on the base model isn't much. My two choices, thanks to the magic of Costco, are:īase M2 mini - 8GB/256GB - £580 (£650 from Apple)īase M2 Pro mini - 16GB/512GB - £1265 (£1399 from Apple) I like to leave all my software open at once! But even on the i3 mini that isn't too bad. No video editing, no intensive Photoshop use. General usage only - lots of Chrome tabs, general office/productivity software, some light Illustrator/Photoshop/InDesign. I have a base 2018 i3 8GB 256GB mini at the moment, it's mostly fine but now that I have some Apple Silicon in my life (14" M1 Pro MBP) I want something snappier when I'm sat at this desk.
