I am a retired Graphic Designer, but now I want to re-start a freelance career/business. My present equipment is so old, and the operating system is so out-of-date that I find I need to start over.
I’d like your advice on my tentative plans to purchase a new M1 Mac Mini, (with a new keyboard and mouse, of course; my monitor is still fine for now).
As long as I’m up-grading, I’d also like to take full advantage of my smart TV (an Insignia [model: NS-50D510NA17], which I purchased from Best Buy about 3 years ago or more, and with a Sony Blu-Ray player connected [model: BDP-S3700]. I’d like to be able to browse the web on my smart TV also.
Of course, I plan to sign-on to “lease” the Adobe Creative Cloud suite, hoping they still offer access to the entire suite at a reasonable price.
Besides graphic design for print and web, I’d like to be able to do the following also:
1) Create and Edit Motion Graphics
2) Create and Edit Tutorial YouTube videos (for which I realize I will need to acquire more professional web-camera, green-screen, microphone and lighting equipment)
3) Create and Edit Drawing and Illustration “demo” videos for my YouTube channel
My question to the Community here is:
What specific specifications do I need to ask for when shopping for the M1 Mac Mini (such as Ram and HDMI) to be able to do all that?
