least expensive Mac that will run Lightroom Classic/Photoshop

kgilstrap1

Hello everyone.  I'm new to the group.  I've been watching Mark's videos for several months and was particularly interested in his video on Lightroom Classic and Photoshop.  I think I'd like to do this on a Mac and was wondering if anyone had a suggestion on the most economical Mac I could buy that would work.  I'm only interested in editing photos, so not video and I'm not a gamer.  Thanks in advance!

Do you not already have a computer? You can use those programmes on a PC or non-mac laptop if you already have one? Even a cut-down version on a tablet..
