Hello, friends.
I'm a musician. My trusty iMac, stalwart companion of 12 years, has finally hit "the wall." I can't upgrade its OS past Catalina (under normal circumstances), and several of the tools that I use in music production have been updated to run more efficiently...
...no longer on Catalina, but on Big Sur. (These tools are Logic, Native Instruments, instruments from Spitfire, Crow Hill, as well as various effects plugins.)
I'm trying to see if I need to hunt aggressively for some Black Friday deals or if I can OCLP my machine a little further along. Here are the specs:
iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013)
Processor 2.7 Ghz Quad-Core Intel i5
16GB 1600 Mhz DDR3
Startup is a 1TB Fusion Drive
Graphics Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB
Basically, I'm looking at either OCLP-ing my iMac or grabbing the cheapest MacMini (16GB RAM, 256SSD) to get me further down the road...
Thoughts? Think my current rig can handle Big Sur?
