[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1857097, member: 38864"] Well by "long haul", I was thinking for more than a couple macOS releases. But from what Ian said about the app basically being converted to ARM-optimized on first run, would it really matter long-term? For many apps, it may be very practical to keep an early version of macOS that has Rosetta 2 as a feature around in a VM and simply "convert" that app inside the VM, then transfer it to the host OS. I'm actually very eager to jump in on this. My wife's Mac mini is the oldest of the Macs here; sees the least use; and doesn't dual-boot Windows or use a VM for Windows. I'm normally hesistant to jump on first-gen hardware, but if early reviews look good, I may replace that. It's easily the best candidate to go first and would be a great test bed. [/QUOTE]
