I want to be clear as I go into my reasoning why photographers should not invest in an M1-based Mac computer here in late 2020 that my answer is not because I think Apples new computers are bad or will fail.
At least not if this is going to be the primary computer for photo editing. No, photographers should not buy a Mac Mini, MacBook Air, or 13″ MacBook Pro with the new M1 processors in 2020. Should photographers jump on that bandwagon?
The media is mostly gushing over the new machines raving about how much faster they are than their Intel-based predecessors. With more anticipation that almost any Apple update I can remember, we now have new Mac Mini, MacBook Air, and 13″ MacBook Pro computers with M1 processors.
