[Qgis-user] Mac computer configuration

Hello QGIS users on Macs, I would like advice on purchasing a new Mac. My Mac is 5 years old and cannot handle heavy-duty QGIS procedures. I process many satellite images and some vector files with 30 m grids have millions of features, for example. To process anything is taking too long. I know t
