Is anyone running a new Mac mini with Resolve 16 or 17? I recently purchased a second license, this one is not a dongle like my first. Hopefully in the near Non Covid future I will be travelling and may need to set up a remote office. I would like to make this investment as cost efficient as possible while still being able to function like I do in my main edit suite.
My main question is how limited are these new machines with DR? Can either handle 4k or is it an "optimized or nothing" situation?
Thanks

There are several threads about this already. Editing and light grading should be absolutely fine. Rendering will be slower than a computer with a dedicated modern GPU.

You need v17.1 or later as earlier versions are not optimized for the M1 chip.

And you need to know that you won't be able to upgrade it, for example with an eGPU.
What you see is what you get, but there are quite a few demos on YT.
