M4 Mac mini any good for Moho Pro?

Post by Mattyj »

Looking to upgrade our tech next year and have made no definitive decisions regarding the OS I will be using.

Has anyone had much experience running Moho on the new Mac mini or just on Apple Silicon in general?

Any advice you could give regarding hardware in general or on this specific topic would be really appreciated.

I have a Mac mini M2 pro and Moho works like a charm on it.

Works great with Apple silicon and you won‘t have problems with it. If you plan on using any XP Pen on Mac with Moho though, don‘t. Drivers giving tons of issues with stuck modifier keys in Moho that‘s probably XP‘s fault tho but i regret purchasing anything from them.

I've created a full 22 minute animated episode on my M3 Max and the Apple Silicon CPUs really render like there's no tomorrow, often merely getting lukewarm. Real-time preview playback is also super smooth even at 4k.

No comparison to my old intel MBPro (which was outstanding as a room heater and jet engine simulator, but sucked at actual computing tasks).
