![]() The iMac lasted for me until 2018 when I bought a Mac mini. I’d argue that is its natural environment, or at least, out of the way and away from my ears. A tower can be placed in the machine room. I also found that the iMac’s fans would spin up at inopportune times, not often but when they did it was annoying and I always had a nagging sense that a tower is just the proper machine for a studio, not an “all in one” like the iMac. I didn’t hate it and yes it all worked, but it felt clunky and messy compared to a nice neat tower with ‘all the stuff inside it’.

There isn’t a machine that works for me as much as a Mac tower, and as we all know Apple hasn’t made a proper tower since 2012. I bought the new Mac Pro somewhat under duress. Yes, I actually bought one, which was a surprise to me as much as anyone (although not to my long-suffering and extremely wonderful wife). Mac OS Catalina Support is here for Pro Tools with the exception of the new Mac Pro, which is a pity because that is the machine I see sitting before me.
