The technical term is "necroposting".@Lorenburton you are replying to a topic where the last post was almost eleven years ago.
As you're reigniting the topic after so long, perhaps cite your thoughts/arguments on the PC vs Mac discussion from a 2021 perspective and your own experiences? Why in 2021 *must* Macs be the first preference?
Macs have shown time and time again to be much less vulnerable to viruses and hacking than pcs. The gap is closing, however, as many attacks are based online and hackers are more sophisticated in their techniques. You'll still need to be cautious online, but now MAC is safest platform.@Lorenburton you are replying to a topic where the last post was almost eleven years ago.

I have a feeling that memory quantity won't matter too much in the future due to the integration of the memory, GPU and CPU into a single chip. This results in greater efficiencies than we can probably envision for our current workflows. We may be able to get away with half or even less memory than currently. Excited to see what Apple comes up with in the next year. CES is also next week, maybe Nvidia or another company will announce ARM product development.We bought a new 2019 21.5" iMac recently to use as a server for FileMaker Pro. We needed to upgrade the RAM to 32 GB. To install RAM in a the 2019 21.5" iMac you have to remove the front glass, pull the display, remove the speaker, power supply, hard drive, video card module, and the logic board. Swap the RAM and then reverse the procedure to finish it up. This very well could end being the end of the road for new Macs in our prepress department.
As far as the new Mac minis with the M1 chip I don't think the hard drive or RAM is user upgradeable.
Apple removing the ability for users to do upgrades is not a good sign.
