Thank you for your answers. When i wrote this, we just got ourselves this second hand MBP, as a main inhouse computer. Then saw the possibility to swap with my iMac, and the thought came out of the iMac not being supported by apple anymore. Thing is though; i wasn't even taking the new M1 processors and prices in consideration yet, hand't really looked into that as im not buying. But now i have and it's totally ridiculous right; performance/price wise. Yeah, i don't really 'need' big sur either, i don't care really; the iMac runs great - i've bought a Samsung T5 ext SSD, cloned Mac HD and now boot from the ext SSD: THIS makes such a difference as i opted for the cheaper 1T HD in 2013. I do wonder though, because this now really is the question , right? Will the next (major) LPX update still be catalina compatible? or only big sur? OR.. only big sur on M1 chips. (but i suppose they won't do that to us yet, would they..)

Hello guys, Happy new year It's been ages since i was on this website. Had some 'crap years' practically without music. Back on the horse, and LPX 10.6, now though! Question: My Studio /LPX computer is: iMac 27" late 2013, 3,5 Ghz Quad core intel i7 , 32 GB ram (1600 ddr3) , 1 T SATA disk, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2 GB. As you probably know, apple dropped OS updates for this machine. Not nice. At All. I also have a Macbook Pro: Mid 2015 15" retina, 16 GB, 2,5-GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 , 512GB SSD , AMD Radeon R9 M370X met 2 GB GDDR5. I have no complaints about my iMac; i love it. But it hurts to see i can't install Big Sur, not that i need it, now, but from now on it's counting down, right? Would i notice a significant performance drop if i'd continue on the MBP instead you'd say? Or not even that much as some parts are newer/faster? any idea? I do Techno/tech house / house etc: quite some AU synths , Au effects and automation. Not so much audio. Any thoughts? thank you!
