Eizo 27 in display and a Mac

Was thinking of getting an Eizio 27in 4K display to process photos for printing.

Any suggestions for a good Mac to run Lightroom and large Leica files from Leica S3?

Will new mac mini with M1 chip be fast enough to churn through S3 raw files?

 

thank you

From the post you referenced (and I guess added after a lot of frenzied discussion in the Reddit thread), the original poster updated:

”UPDATE: I think I did something. .. I decided I'll delete all Safari cache and stop Spotlight from indexing Documents (the folder in which I'm constantly editing my Pages files and where I store the Adobe files I work with). Swap usage was obviously still constantly changing, but I rebooted after I made those changes and guess what? Even with Illustrator AND Safari open I get 0 bytes of swap usage. I'll see how it goes, but this is obviously huge progress from the 1GB swap used when idling with no apps open”

So was it simply the initial Spotlight indexing (known to initially hog processes on new machines) or have you discovered something else?

I certainly find it strange that no-one but this one Reddit user in the Balkans has noticed these new and revolutionary machines swapping memory at this scale - the performance and how it’s achieved has been analyzed to death by very competent testers.

If

it does exist it'll be temporary. And Spotlight is always bad to start with. When my machine needs replacing I’ll be going with whatever M variant they are in with zero hesitation.

As for what monitor, can’t help. I’m also wondering about this.
