[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1935244, member: 56379"] Understand the less space concern.:) In post #1 the home space issue was mentioned...but also mentioned/described...the current Windows computer you do the photo editing on as "[U]just about manages[/U]". Thus it would seem replacing this Windows computer isn't just about space-saving...but also due to a performance issue (just barely enough for what you do). The age of the Windows computer is not super important...was just curious.:) Most of the Apple computers I use on a daily basis are 10-12 years old...currently newest is 7 years old. Lol Awesome...that makes things much easier! There are many different Mac model computers...thus it's much better to refer to exact models...just so everyone is "on the same page". [U]FYI...Different current Mac models include:[/U] * Mac Pro (desktop) * Mac Studio (desktop) * Mac Mini (desktop) * iMac (desktop) * MacBook Pro (notebook) * MacBook Air (notebook) Regarding 512GB vs. 256GB storage. This also depends on the model Apple computer discussed...but if we're talking the M2 Mac-Mini...yes the 512GB is faster than the 256GB. According to reviews I've read & watched...technically (via benchmarking programs)...the speed is significantly different. But in real world use "human perception"...both are very fast. But if you're targeting the 512GB model...then the point is moot.:) Good deal. We have lots of members from the UK.:) Looking at the Apple Store UK...an M2 Mac-Mini with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage = £1049 (slightly above your max budget). - Nick [/QUOTE]
