This all sounds good on paper but the reality is - you are stuck with a horrible WINDOWS 10 now..base on my experience spending 3000 euros with apple laptop and logic vs spending 3000 euros on a windows pc with 128gb ram, several ssd , powerful cpu and cubase I can be 99 percent sure that apple is a waste of time if you have a limited budget and want to work with a decent powerful computer...
ehm, you do not have to update... I did not on my MacBook pro for like 4 yearsThe downside of Apple is their now yearly OS releases that always cause problems with existing software. I don't like being forced to update a whole bunch of software every year because of an OS update.
Yes, that is where I've been for quite a while (I'm on OS X 10.11), but eventually a software update will appear that fixes an annoying bug that requires an OS update, but if you update some other piece of software will no longer work. Yes, this can happen with Windows, but it isn't every freaking year as it is now is with macOS.ehm, you do not have to update... I did not on my MacBook pro for like 4 years

Not if Apple still enforces the rule that you can't install an OS before the one that shipped with your new computer . . . and I believe they do. Another great Apple "feature".It seems that an immediate ungrade from Catalina to Mojave would make a lot of sense and doesn't seem too complicated.
How do you know when you buy it?They don't impose that rule. That has been the case a few times that a new model came out which would not run on an older version of the OS, but not always the case and certainly, existing models that can run Mojave today can still run Mojave tomorrow even if you bought it after Catalina came out and it shipped with catalina.
The current Mac Mini line is from 2018, the iMacs date from March 2019. There are plenty pf people with these running Mojave and buying with Catalina and going back to Mojave. The new Mac Pro though... shipping after the launch of Catalina.. may well not be able to go back... dunnoHow do you know when you buy it?
gut feelingWhy prejudge?
In non-PC news... I have just found out that the Mac Minis and iMacs round my way are no longer shipping with Mojave and instead Sh**alina.
This is not good news as well, I see potential problems with my software from Roland, Toontracks, Moog and a few others - or at least the situation is not quite clear. I haven't been able to find conclusive info on Diva yet either.

That is good.Not sure if you have already made your decision, but I did just receive my iMac i9 shipped with Mojave. Maybe it is because I purchased a VESA mount version, or location (eastern US), but I thought I’d let you know.
Also, Diva has recently been updated for Catalina. Best of luck to you.
