Just need a Mac desktop to edit videos and be a Youtuber



Occasionally Live Stream abit

Mac mini

iMac

iMac but not the lowest spec

Mac Mini pair with a decent screen. The 24" screen is too small for editing work.

Mac Mini for portability and customization.

Get a mac mini. Its cheaper and decent enough to fullfill your requirememts. I am planning to get one soon

I don't have any Macs, but if I have to choose, I would go for the new Mac Mini.

Mac Mini is the better option. You're not stuck with a screen all the time.

mac mini cause new mac mini got m2 chip now and much cheaper than imac

This

I believe so too.

Price wise way value for money compare to any of their macbook

Heard the ssd only has 1 nand chip and is slower than the older m1 mac mini


That’s why m2 mac mininis cheaper

It only has one thing slower but overall one is getting better thing comparing to the M1 Mac mini. The improvement is quite significant.

If you need the full set, and have the $ to spend for it, then get the imac. If you can customize it yourself, eg Keyboard, Mouse, etc or you have these laying about, then I would say, the mac mini is the better option.

Hi TS, if your work need video editing with Mac Mini, you might need a very good monitor which usually cost few thousand ringgit (for example the LG Ultra Fine), plus proper Trackpad/Mouse and keyboard, it should over RM7k already.

Plus, the current M1 iMac will be replace to M2 very soon, not a good idea to buy it, and most importantly it lack of port.

I would suggest you to look for Intel iMac 27 that currently still have in TMT near Shopee for RM6599 only, yeah, Intel seems not good if compare to Apple Silicon, but that just because of power consumption which only show it weakness in laptop (in my opinion), for raw cpu power and GPU power, it is still very capable.

That RM6599 iMac 27 is high spec 10-Core i9 processor + AMD 5700 graphic + 1TB SSD, the 16GB RAM can be upgrade to 128GB via the door at the back, which is very handy too. The included 27 5K DCI-P3 display is same as the one in LG UltraFine 27 which is still selling RM5k ++ , no mention it come with a very good internal speaker and Apple Keyboard / Mouse.

The 27" Apple Studio Display (almost identical to iMac 27 display) alone cost RM6599 already, so I would suggest you go for iMac 27.

I have an iMac Pro 27 at home, it is a very good computer, and I just got M2 Mac Mini (Base model) last few days, and it serve as media center at my living room, in term of raw power and heavy task, my iMac Pro still faster than it.

Just myopinion.
