Will it run anything a sane person would get a mac for? Probably not, most mac DAW I've used personally are hungry and 4gb is less than the machine I had my last crash filled experience on. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago* What most people use a Mac for could be just as well handled by a Chromebook and an Apple decal. At least in the consumer market. Not knocking graphic artists or any other industry that prefers Apple (though I'm still really not sure why, at this point it seems to go back to things that don't apply anymore) permalink fedilink source parent [–] Hiko0@feddit.de -3 points 2 years ago* I work with my Mac every day. It‘s not a toy. I chose the platform in the early 2000s because I liked the OS, the far superior app experience across many 3rd party apps and because I like to work with things I like aesthetically. I chose a 32 GB MacBook Pro with M1 Pro and paid for the upgrade. Because I could and because I wanted to (100% tax deduction helped as well). No need for pity or anything. permalink fedilink source parent
