Desktop u mean iMac?

You can use M1 Mac mini which is very efficient and not hot.
Cheap as well compare to other Mac.

If you have purchased it via the App Store, you don't need to buy it again. It will be forever tied to your Apple ID. So whether it is on a Mac Mini, iMac or Mac Studio, you can just load it there no issues.

As long M1 or M1 Ultra, will be ok. Macbook air small, or desktop much more powerful.

Not include monitor, keyboard and mouse. That's why it's cheap.

RM2999 only.

Monitor you can just anything from the market form the cheapest to the most expensive
according to you requirement and budget. Plug and play.

Keyboard and mouse you also can buy from the market but better to have Mac compatibility
like the keyboard arrangement etc.

you can pair it up with the Pro Display XDR for a cool rm20k without the monitor stand/vesa mount brows.gif

for mouse, can just buy Logitech ones or even use apple Magic Trackpad
