Yes, in an ideal world a compact micro ATX sized tower Mac with consumer i3/i5/i7/i9 chips would be my ideal as well, then I could just dual boot for when I need windows or Mac OS, but sadly this does not, and likely won’t exist ever. Legacy of the G4 era is long behind us, and the G5 and Mac Pro sysytems were never ideal price wise for semi-pro workloads. The iMac Pro is supposed to fill the void, but lacks any meaningful internal upgrades and is wildly overpriced. Even these Minis are hard to justify, I could have built a far more powerful PC for the same price, I even have a spare GTX 1070 lying around to put in another machine, but then again it wouldn’t fit where this machine will be used and I honestly prefer using Apple’s video editing software.

I need to shoot some test videos this week and put the new Mini to work, will update more then
