Recent computers usually have a very good drive already. If you got many big files, be sure to use a fast drive (internal SSD or an external RAID drive recommended). The CPU speed or the RAM size are not that important nowadays, as hardware-acceleration is widely used. There are also DisplayLink docks, such as the Plugable one, but from experience frame drops can arise (this may be fixed in later DisplayLink update). If you own a device such as a Datapath FX4 or an AJA HA5-4K, you can get 4 displays out of one Thunderbolt port of these computers. However, each external display can run at 4K or higher. Apple M1/M2 Max/Ultra MacStudio can run 5 displays

Apple M2 Pro MacMini can run 3 displays Apple M1/M2 Max MacBookPro can run 4 external displays Apple M1/M2 Pro MacBookPro can run 2 external displays Apple M1/M2 MacBook and iMac can run 1 external display If you want to buy an Apple Silicon machine, keep in mind that depending on the processor family, the number of external displays will be limited : Nowadays, this limitation tends to fade away, but in general, a machine with one powerful GPU is better than a machine with several low ones. Other real-time softwares have this hardware limitation as well. If you uses multiple graphic cards, keep in mind that real-time rendering can only be processed by a single graphic card at one time, then the result must be transfered to other graphic cards, which is time consuming.

Here is a test with a MacMini 2018 with an eGPU running 3 x 4K displays (equivalent to 12 x 1080p60 displays) : How to synchronize multiple Datapath Fx4 ? More info about eGPu in this dedicated article : Can Millumin use an eGPU ? However, it is not supported by Apple Silicon machines. On the other hand, an eGPU can be an efficient solution to use high-end GPUs.
You can compare graphic cards scores on this website. When possible, choose a model of computer with a dedicated AMD or Apple Silicon GPU, not with an Intel GPU alone. Millumin mainly uses the graphic card, so the better your GPU is, the better the performances are. Millumin V2 and V3 are is not optimized for such machines, but Apple translator Rosetta brings decent performances. Since V4, Millumin is optimized for both Intel and M1/M2 machines. Apple SiliconĪpple is now using its own processors, the first ones being called Apple M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max and M2. Also, be sure to check for updates, so you always use the latest version of Millumin. You should wait a few months, since Apple engineers usually publish several bug-fixes for the Finder, Wifi, display management.
#MODUL8 HIGH SIERRA UPDATE#
Of course, in a production environment, we do not recommend to update on a new macOS version right after its release.
However for technical reasons, Millumin V1 does not work on macOS Catalina (or higher).
