Thanks, Philip! :)

Btw, not editing on my little Air screen, lol. I have a 24" 4K display, which gives me close to Retina-level crispness. LOVE it!!!! :)

Thanks, Photodog and DGP! :) I will download PL and AP and give it a try! DPG, yes, I know in general Apple devices are far more efficient than Android/Win ones because of the tight integration...

Personally I would buy a Mini right now with the newer M1 models and not wait, as I am migrating from Windows to Mac and have no desktop option yet. My MacBook is M1, but just an Air with 8GB,...

Ian: So, they don’t use the Control Points and tiny drop-down limited menus now? From the stuff I saw on the site for PL5 it all sure looked the same.

One of the main things I really dislike about PL is the U-Point controls. C1 has actual layers and is almost a non-destructive photo editor. Far too pricey for me, though, and too complicated...

Probably stuff no one else wants: Real layers and masking. Seriously hate U-Point. Export of multiple files with new root name and series numbering; had that years ago in other apps, maybe even Lr. ...

I bought a dock (OWC Thunderbolt dock) because I use my Air M1 with a monitor most of the time. However, the 80% hold will not kick in with the dock, stays charged at 100%. I wish the dock did not ...

I heard the new Mac mini will only work with monitors with notches in them. Sorry! (J-O-K-I-N-G!!!)

There are levels of safe, and levels of intrusiveness. Google makes their money by betraying your privacy, Apple doesn't.

Google Snooping(TM) built in! No charge except loss of privacy!

Ah, ok, I see. Not sure you can get a lot better than the LG. I would certainly buy it if I could justify spending $1300 on a monitor. :)

The Mini doesn't seem to get much love from Apple. Probably doesn't make them as much money? But yeah, that is what *I* want, a Mini with the options of the Pro 14.

I dunno, seem pretty competitive to me, unlike Macs in the past...these M chips have really evened things out, IMO.

Masterblaster, I don't understand? You say you want them to offer something (that I was going to tell you you could get, for $1300), then you say they sell it on their site? Not sure what you are...

I personally don’t understand the desire for HDMI ports? Is that to use existing cables? I use Thunderbolt to DisplayPort or Thunderbolt to HDMI now. And my next monitor will likely only accept...

I have an inexpensive third-party thing I use with my Air M1 that lets me have ‘MagSafe’ on one of the Thunderbolt ports. Though generally I have it docked in an OWC Thunderbolt hub which uses one...

They seem to only update the Mini like every ten years lol. But yeah, my Air M1 is enough of a laptop for me, I want a Mini with at least the options that the new 14” Pro has.

I have Office365 Family, which for $100/year gives me three accounts with 1TB each storage, PLUS the Office apps. I love it. I used to deal with back-up software and all that mess (which wound up ...
