I believe, while some people have issues with it, the T2 chip will make HEVC exports MUCH faster than the iMac right? The 8-core iMac would be about $300 more than the 6-core Mac Mini. At least with the iMac, I will get a fairly decent dGPU and I can still opt for an eGPU later if necessary. So with the Mac mini, I would need an eGPU anyway. I do not need 4K gaming or anything like that. As long as I can do 2560x1440 at 120+ fps on my 144 Hz display, I am fine. Games like Borderlands (including the new one coming out), Factorio, Terraria, Doom 2016, and GTA5 to name a few. I DO plan to do some light gaming on this by booting into Windows. Especially since I can get a similar specced iMac (without Xeon and ECC memory, but core count) and have it a couple thousand cheaper WITH 1TB SSD is very desirable.
TOM'S HARDWARE REVIEW FOR MAC MINI 2017 PRO
The new Mac Pro is obviously out of my price range at the moment. So maybe the Mac Mini with the T2 chip is better? However, I think FCPX is more bursty so higher amount of speed is better than core count right? I am not a fan of the built in graphics of the Mac mini. I do very little 4K stuff, most of my content is still 1080p. I do a lot of Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro X. I prefer to use my own monitors and am free to hook up a 144 Hz display for some gaming. And my 2017 iMac does have a display issue which means my entire computer needs to be sent in.
It has such massive borders around the display too. No height adjustment and it is very tall. I have to be honest, I am not a fan of the iMac's display.
The Mac mini still has weaker processors now compared to the latest iMac. I am having a very tough time deciding which system to get to replace my 2017 iMac.
