Ciao a tutti! Sto pensando di acquistare un iMac principalmente per fotografia e fotoritocco. Vorrei usarlo con programmi come Photoshop e Lightroom e avere un iMac che renda il lavoro veloce e fluido. Quale modello mi consigliereste per avere prestazioni affidabili, senza spendere troppo ma senza compromessi sulla qualità? Grazie in anticipo per i consigli!
I agree with Servant of Cats about the Mini Mr. You can get it with 32 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD with other external SSDs for storage and operation, and a 3rd party 4K monitor for at least $500 less than a comparable configured new iMac.
It all depends on budget. If your budget is tight then you should consider the Mini with a 27" - 32" 4K monitor.
I have a Mini M4 with an LG 32" 4K monitor w/speakers (didn't know the Mini had a speaker) and it is a great combination.
I just checked and a Mac Mini M4 with 24 GB of RAM, 1 TB SSD is $900 less than a similarly configured 24" iMac.
You'll need a mouse, keyboard and monitor. If you have a mouse and keyboard you can use them and a 32" 4K monitor can cost from $200 to $350. You'll have lots of choices on Amazon.
Just some food for thought.

IMAC FOR ADOBE PROGRAMS
Hello everyone! I'm thinking of buying an iMac mainly for photography and photo editing. I would like to use it with programs like Photoshop and Lightroom and have an iMac that makes the work fast and fluid. Which model would you recommend to me to have reliable performance, without spending too much but without compromising on quality? Thanks in advance for the advice!
Adobe recommends a minimum of 16 GB of RAM – but you may find it useful to have more – say, 24 GB or even 32 GB. You cannot add RAM to any Apple Silicon Mac after purchase, so it's best to get what you think you may need up front – even if you have to custom-order it.
As an alternative to a 24" M4 iMac, you could consider a M4 or M4 Pro Mac mini, paired with a monitor, keyboard, and mouse of your choice. The iMac's advantage is that it has a very nice (high-PPI) display – there are not many displays with similar PPIs on the market, and those that are available are not cheap. On the other hand, there is a huge selection of 27" and 32" 4K displays, including several with good coverage of wide gamuts (DCI-P3, Adobe RGB), and you might be able to put together a system based on a Mac mini and a large 4K screen for less than the cost of the iMac. Although 27" and 32" 4K displays have lower PPIs than the 24" iMac display, or the 27" Apple 5K Studio Display, and thus are not as sharp, their prices have led a lot of people to opt for them.
Note that the entry-level 24" iMac only has two multi-purpose USB-C / Thunderbolt 4 ports. If you get a M4 iMac, I'd suggest getting one of the higher-end models that has four of those ports. Two ports will fill up very fast - and you might be forced to add a hub or dock to the two-port model to have places to plug in everything.

Adobe consiglia un minimo di 16 GB di RAM, ma potrebbe essere utile averne di più, ad esempio 24 GB o addirittura 32 GB. Non è possibile aggiungere RAM a nessun Mac con Apple Silicon dopo l'acquisto, quindi è meglio acquistare in anticipo solo la quantità di RAM che si ritiene necessaria, anche se si deve ordinare un prodotto personalizzato.
In alternativa a un iMac M4 da 24", potresti prendere in considerazione un Mac mini M4 o M4 Pro, abbinato a monitor, tastiera e mouse a tua scelta. Il vantaggio dell'iMac è che ha un display molto bello (con un'elevata risoluzione): non ci sono molti display con una risoluzione simile sul mercato, e quelli disponibili non sono economici. D'altra parte, esiste un'ampia scelta di display 4K da 27" e 32", inclusi diversi con una buona copertura di ampi gamut (DCI-P3, Adobe RGB), e potresti riuscire a creare un sistema basato su un Mac mini e un ampio schermo 4K a un prezzo inferiore a quello dell'iMac. Sebbene i display 4K da 27" e 32" abbiano una risoluzione inferiore rispetto al display dell'iMac da 24" o dell'Apple 5K Studio Display da 27", e quindi non siano altrettanto nitidi, il loro prezzo ha spinto molte persone a sceglierli.
Si noti che l'iMac entry-level da 24" ha solo due Porte USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 multifunzione. Se hai un iMac M4, ti consiglio di scegliere uno dei modelli di fascia alta con quattro di queste porte. Due porte si riempiranno molto velocemente e potresti essere costretto ad aggiungere un hub o un dock al modello a due porte per avere punti in cui collegare tutto.
