I do graphic design for a living. I'm looking to buy a 2018 i7 Mac Mini and wanted to know if it would be comparable to my work computer in terms of power and speed, if not better?
Here are the specs of my work computer:
iMac 27-inch, Late 2013
3.2 GHz Intel Core i5
32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M 1024 MB
The apps I primarily use are:
Photoshop
Illustrator
InDesign
Bridge
Lightroom
Mail
Chrome
I would also be running two monitors.
If I can run all of that without skipping a beat, then I'm set.
Bonus question, would it be adequate enough to also run Premiere Pro and After Effects effectively? I'm really only planning to edit up to 1440p video. I don't have much interest in 4k at the moment.
