I had to stop relying on my early 2008 MBP because the browsers it could use were not acceptable by most web sites. I moved up to a late 2012 Mac mini, and Safari?Version 15.6.1, the version that comes with Catalina, macOS 10.15 is having issues being accepted by some sites. In particular, a few of the sites for my monthly bills, and CVS when I need to order up a refill.
I don¡¯t remember which list Randy Singer is on, this or iomug, but he is saying maxing out RAM on new Macs is not necessary. I have not gotten to a new enough Mac to test this out.?
Brent ?
On my Mac mini running 10.15.7?

My 2011 MacBook Pro still works but I am having difficulty printing and interacting with financial websites along with others. Also having the same problems with my 3 iPads, the most recent only a few months old.
I have a MacBook Air inherited from my wife that is about 4 years old. It doesn¡¯t have the above problems but I don¡¯t like the way websites and banking software displays. I have to do too much scrolling vertically and horizontally. The specs say the two laptops have about the same screen size but the older pro seems much larger.
I am considering an iMac 26¡± or the larger MacBook Pro. Being that the iMac is about $1000 less and I like the size I am leaning towards that. However, the convenience of the laptop being more portable is a big plus. Not for travel but for using in several places around the house.
I am not sure about how much memory I should get or which processor.
I am not gaming or doing major video editing. Being old school I feel more memory is better but have read that is no longer true.
I tend to keep my computers longer than many others so this may ?be my final purchase.
I would trade in the Macbook light on the new computer.
All opinions are welcome.
Thanks,
Bobby
