I currently have a Mac Mini, M1, 8GB, 256GB drive.
I use it for: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, Canon Digitial Photo Processing (DPP), Pages and Numbers work, iMovie and Final Cut Pro.
The videos that I edit are 4k, recorded on an iphone (usually HVEC, rarely ProRes) or Canon 5D MKIV. Exported total video duration is 10-30minute 4k videos. I typically edit my videos and then export and walk away. I also use ffmpeg to convert videos when needed. I have a couple of external drives for editing.
Looking at the M6 Mini, 32GB, 1TB for $1500~ (trade in) vs M5 Pro Mini, 48GB, 1TB for $2339 (trade in).
I am buying to last 7+ years, if possible.
