[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1934779, member: 110816"] Answering backward, yes Apple moved to Apple Silicon based on the ARM architecture a couple of years ago and now has completed that transition now across all of their devices. Apple Silicon is WAY more performant than the Intel chips they'd been using. The current gen M2 is literally more powerful than the most expensive Mac Pro's from back in the day. Black Friday is a good time, but also check out the Refurbished store for pretty good pricing. From a workload perspective, to get a real quick idea, go to [URL='https://browser.geekbench.com/mac-benchmarks']Mac Browser for Geekbench[/URL] and then look at your current iMac and MBP config. Now compare that to the newer Macs to see how many times better it is. [/QUOTE]
