Windows might be your better bet to keep the cost down. If you are into high end Macs, keep in mind that Canon had never rewritten DPP for Apple Silicon, so you'd be wasting money on the M1 or M2 variants. My M1 Max MacBook Pro is only 5% faster than the i9 MacBook Pro I've traded in with Rosetta for RAW conversions. Worse yet, it is incredibly slow for newer CR3 files. I know my newer computer is way faster than that if Canon would put some efforts in their software for the new hardware.

True. DPP is not usable on new Macs, especially with R5 files in cRAW.
