Mac mini M4 or iMac M4 for Marketing and editorial work
I'm about to update my equipment and before I buy it I would like your hive opinion on it. I will be working mostly in Photoshop, illustrator, InDesign (large catalogs), Affinity, Figma and maybe some After effects, Cavalry, and very light 3D in blender.
The only two options I can get right now are:
Mac Mini M4 pro (12-core CPU / 16-core GPU)
24GB RAM
512GB ssd (+ extra 1T external disc)
With 2 Asus Pro Art 27" 2k monitors.
(And still looking for a good keyboard, mouse and webcam.)
Or
iMac M4 (10-core CPU / 10 Core GPU)
24GB RAM
512GB ssd (+ 1T extra external disc)
I already know that the screen on the iMac is a beauty to work with, but I don't have any experience working with the Asus screens. According to my research I found that they are well calibrated and are the closest to the Mac screens. They are praised all over the internet. So, what would you recommend?
Does anyone here have a similar setup for similar purposes? What are your thoughts, bottlenecks, things you wish you knew before, best accessories, etc.
Also, I'm aware of the rumors that a new Mac mini with a better processor is going to be announced on June 8th, so I can wait a bit in case it's better or if it makes the the price for the M4 pro drop.
