Thinking of getting newer Mac from iMac G5 in 2025
Cheap ebay option: 64GB maxed Darth Vader mac Pro, 12 Core, nvm SSD
CONS: Linux x64, Windows, better then my PC, can get cheap Final Cut Pro
PROBS: Abandoned by Apple, troublesome server class CPU, are both gfx cards used?
Limited periphal support, must hunt older mices, keyboards and SuperDrive
Mid option: 8GB M1 256GB SSD MacMini Pro
CONS: Future proof
PROBS: Little RAM for Baldurs Gate 3 and Final CUT steam games, unknown Linux dual boot
Expensive periphals, extreme unpgreadablity of RAM and SSD (bad, bad, mad, mad Apple)
High End (will take 2 more years in poor Serbia) 16GB M2 512GB SSD MacMini Pro
Same as with M1
Note that for M2 Pro price I can heve M1, Darth Vader and an Amiga
