Ordered a Mac Mini M4. I have the M2 MacBook Air and tried to use this as a replacement for the iMac, until hitting the RAM wall.
8GB of “Unified memory” powering a 34” widescreen monitor, and 3 Kontakt tracks choked up quickly. 8GB is not much, but didn’t think about what unified memory meant until running into this.
I don’t really use large libraries like I used to, so I’m hoping I can get away with 24GB.
If this works out, the only drawback to replacing the iMac will be losing 2Caudio’s Breeze. I just realized I’ve had it on my default template since it was released, so that’ll going to be fun figuring out a replacement. Otherwise, I might consider buying a used Intel Mac mini in the future.
