I've been holding off on upgrading some older Intel Mac minis I have while waiting for the memory situation to improve, but so far it hasn't.
Ideally, I'd consolidate these older systems into one new Mac mini, or even a Mac Studio.
I'd like at least 64 GB of memory, at a reasonable price.
The latest Mac mini maxes out at only 32 GB of RAM, if I'm remembering it right.
I think the latest low-end Mac Studio could be upgraded to 64 GB of memory, but the last time I priced it, this upgrade cost more than I'd been expecting. It also put the overall cost above what I'd prefer to pay.
While I'd like to keep using a Mac, it's looking more and more like I'd be better off just building a PC, where I could likely get comparable enough processing performance, but far more memory (and storage) at a lower cost.
