![]() ![]() The Mac Studio on the other hand, has far less limitations. (And this may change with the M2 models hopefully coming later this year - but don’t count on it) In the case of the iMac, limits on the screen size. Limits on ports, limits on ram and limits on storage. If you go for the Mac mini or iMac, you’ve got pretty big limitations that have nothing to do with the processor. (Or intel Mac Pro, but don’t get one of those right now as they’re about to be obsolete and they’re insanely expensive).
