#Can i run tableau on mac pro#
I have a 2012 i7 2.6ghz quad-core Mini and used it for several years with Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro.Worked fine for my needs - editing 1080p30 video in FCP and typically 8 tracks of live audio with basic plug-ins like reverb, EQ, etc. As long as the card is supported by MacOS and under 75W, any cheap Thunderbolt -> PCIe adapter will work. I had made out unofficially for my photo studio out of an OWC Helios2 and WX4100. You can build an inexpensive egpu out of cheap parts down the road. It's great for pushing pixels around the screen/s and thats about it. These things are built like tanks and there isn't a dGPU that can fail.Īs I mentioned earlier the weakest point of the 2012 Macs is the lousy HD4000.
#Can i run tableau on mac full#
I use a mix of Safari and Firefox but will have to switch over to Firefox full time just to get a browser with actual security updates on a regular basis.Īs for other aspects of it lasting for a few years, yea it will. I run Mojave on my main machine: a 2018 i7 Mini and I have few complaints. What software are you using? With an older system you will be tied to an older version of MacOS which may be perfectly fine if you require 32-bit application/plugin support. You can put the 1TB SSD and skip the double drive kit if you're short on cash. It looks like the 2.3 is far more common than the 2.6. Get any i7 you can, the extra cores will help immensely. I used to work in that industry for years, Macs are diamonds in the rough and pampered by the guys refurbing them haha. However if you stick with a buyer that specializes in ITAD you should be fine. So on ebay because you're an International buyer, there is no return if you import one from the States. Cause I can’t really see any other options and the cheapest I can find any Mac mini of the same specs are minimum $550-$700CAD but with 16GB ram already and for a bit more I can find a m1 for $1000CAD which I don’t have.

So I need your guys’ help making up my mind lol, will it be fast enough for my needs? Is there any other routes for the same price point? I use a lot of Mac devices already as well (watch, phone). I’m wondering if it’s a good idea I honestly don’t have more than $400 to spend.

#Can i run tableau on mac upgrade#
I can upgrade for $60 to make it 16GB or $20 for 4GB to make it 8GB.

I found a late 2012 Mac mini 2.3ghz i7 500gb ssd with only 6GB of ram So I thought a Mac mini is a no brainer since I don’t need monitor or keyboard. I already have a monitor/keyboard setup to a couple node computers that are dedicated to that. Hi everybody I’m on a tight budget for a computer for recording music, light video editing and a little if any web surfing/YouTube on it.
