What Mac Mini for use with Adobe CC?

Hello

I thought about getting a Mac Mini to use with a Wacom Cintiq Display(either 22HD or 27QHD) and I was wondering what would be best for the execution of the Adobe programs.

It seems that most of the people prefer the 2012 Mac mini with the quad core as opposed to the current gen using two hearts.

This brings me to two questions:

I see a huge difference between the quad core and dual core in the adobe programs?

8 GB RAM is enough or should I opt for 16 GB?

Otherwise, the mac mini may be a poor choice for what I would do, so any feedback is appreciated!

Thank you!

What Adobe suggest to their CC minimum specifications in OS X, it

should not be necessary to buy a quad-core (they say that it would use all the cores).

A set of Photoshop CC system requirements suggest higher specs than one

Another help page for Adobe. This page shows the highest specifications, but can

not reflect the version that you are considering:

•Photoshop CC 2015.x system requirements and languages

https://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop/system-requirements.html

If for some reason you happen across a 2012 end i7 2.3 or 2.6 GHz quad with

two 1 TB hard drives, they would be more easily upgraded to run an SSD and

keep a rotating disc; or install two SSDs. between that and 16 GB of RAM, these

should do a quick little computer. Rotational hard drives are the bottleneck.

But probably not necessary for Adobe photoshop CC. The graphics processor

is a limitation if you use intense graphic applications. GPU shares

standard memory with the system; From memory, there is little or no dedicated graphics.

Although I have a Late 2012 Mac Mini i7 2.3 GHz quad-core (server) with double 1 TB

5400 RPM hard drive and RAM upgraded to 16 GB total rotation. It can

Use at least one drive upgraded to 7200 rpm or SSD drive more efficient.

The Mac Mini which is online store (check to see if there is an official refurb)

in the middle to upper technical version may be OK. The top level because of the upgrade

options in the configuration page (select to buy it, then see what options exist)

might be OK. The lower spec Mini doesn't seem to be viable for serious users.

New versions available now, because, you choose the configuration when

you order the computer: you buy an upgrade level you think you might need.

Memory is affixed, then exercise your ESP skills to look ahead, before buying.

The new Mac Mini 'top model' has better graphics than model end 2012.

An advantage for the Mini is you can choose monitors, peripherals, etc. An old

new stock Mini would have some OS X who was active as a base level.

Since none of these units have a system backup media. Is online recovery there.

My Mini comes with the Mavericks 10.9; 10.9.5 functioning properly. Partitioned,

the discs could dualboot mulitple systems and their applications more recent specifications.

(You can pay like nine awards for the end of 2012 Mini i7 quad, used clean-shaped).

I had considered to be a non - retina MacBook Pro 13 inch 2.5 GHz for once.

It was the time when they were more common in the 'special offers' Apple

refurb store page online at decent price; then buy RAM upgrade later.

In any case, this has become a long rant a few detours or details were

omitted for the sake of clear path back to the main topic. Since I was late

2012, mac Mini and it's more of the half upgraded for most all that he can do

I would probably say try a. If you can find a new one at a fair cost.

If the cost is too high, you can get a new Mac Mini to higher specification

the Apple Store. They are dual-core. Adobe applications do not seem to need

the advantage of the use of quad-core processors or. (these run virtual cores, too;)

so if you have the appropriate application, the quad core turn eight - virtual.)

The option AppleCare extended warranty covers to buy new equipment.

It would have supplied with El Capitan, if the current new stock. This fall, there may be macOS

Sierra - if you happen to get that stock again - at the end of the year. Not sure

If or when the hardware upgrade version configurations may appear.

Anyway, it's more a kind of letter. Sorry about that...!

    What is the best HDMI switch for use with Apple tv 4. I heard some do not work and the automatic switch has problems because Apple tv is still using power?

    I installed on a cutting and not because the automatic switch works because it isn't always. It came with a remote control that is almost as good, so don't mind the fact that automatic switching does not work well. The reason why I chose cutting is because it was the first device that gave me the good picture and sound quality with my AppleTV, the Xbox 360 and the PS4. (Don't ask!)

  • Is it possible to connect my Mac mini to my Mac Pro laptop using the memory on my mac mini for installing software Ableton as I don't have 3 GB available on my Mac Pro.

    Is it possible to connect my Mac mini to my Mac Pro laptop using the memory on my mac mini for installing software Ableton as I don't have 3 GB available on my Mac Pro.

    I want to download Ableton software, but it requires 3 GB of free memory that I have available on my MacPro laptop not because most of it is used for my library of music because I'm a DJ.

    I'm not sure how I can do it or not at all.

    Thank you very much.

    1. a Mac Pro is not a laptop. Its a big desktop computer.  You probably have a MacBook Pro, which is a laptop.

    2. No, you cannot share the memory (live RAM) or storage (disk space, which is not memory) like that between computers.

    However, it is very very bad practice to have so little storage space available for your computer.   If you have less than 3 GB, you should seriously consider an external drive. and unload some files on the outside. Its best not to leave your hard drive to go below 10 GB of free space because it can seriously affect your computer's performance.

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Well, a disc of Tb2 (which takes care of your iMac) will offer excellent performances. If you need these speeds depends on really how ask your projects are. A USB3 drive will be fast enough for the vast majority of HD projects. Expect to spend more for the readers of Thunderbolt2.
