Hi I need to buy a new iMac to use for work by the end of 2021. I am a photo editor and also now edit video (as in selecting and reviewing stock footage clips rather than doing post-production work. (footage is mainly 4k and maybe with occasional 8k)
I currently have a 2013 21.5 inch intel i5 iMac that has been doing admirably well up until now but feel it is not ready for the future and upcoming workloads with more photo and video work.
The new iMac's only have the basic M1 chip and there is no sign of a new version with the M1 Pro or M1 Max being released before the end of 2021, so what existing M1 iMac and spec would be suitable? Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Budget is no more than £2000/$2500.
