Eric Wikman Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I'm just starting to research this, so if there are any great articles/reads to point me to I'd appreciate it! It seems my issue is single cores are starting to choke at the worst times (during vocal sessions etc) ... i suppose since I’m using newer plugins here & there (that's all that has changed) and they grab more CPU. So it's almost time to upgrade my 2013 MacPro trashcan 6 core… even though the other 11 threads are barely at 15% with hundreds of plugins right up until mixdown. The new $6k MP is probably overkill & too pricey. So do I go for the highest single core benchmark I can find? It looks like all the M1 Macs smoke even my MP. Has anyone here gone from a MP to a M1 mini or iMac? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I think the M1 Mac Mini is the way to go in your case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas007 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I feel the Mini seems a little meagre in terms of internal SSD, isn’t? (I mean compared to the trashcan’s 1TB) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 You can order the Mini with 2TB internal if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Wikman Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 You can order the Mini with 2TB internal if you want. Yea, that's probably the route I will go... depending on what they announce the next 12 weeks or so. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas007 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 You can order the Mini with 2TB internal if you want. You're right! I wasn't looking at the right place... I wonder if or when Apple will eventually sell an M1 Mac Pro version... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn L. Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 When you up the specs, the only game in town is Apple when you order, and Apple wants your first-born as payment. My BTO M1 mini in my sig (16gb RAM, 1TB storage) came to €1608 with Applecare, so the price jumps quickly. I will be interested to see what the next mini will cost for the same config compared to my M1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
