Hey guys, I'm looking to pick up a laptop or small compact computer for a project where mobility would be important (think trade shows/events..etc). The purpose is a computer for graphic related application like adobe creative cloud apps, photoshop, premiere, illustrator, after effects...etc.

I'm looking at the $700 range and trying to figure out which system would be better:

Acer Predator i5-13500HX with RTX4050 GPU, 16GB DDR5 (upgradable)​
Or
Mac Mini M2 base model.​

Drive space isn't a concern as i have spare ssds / external drives to expand either of them. I also have a monitor and hardware needed for the mac mini so this question is strictly based on comparison of their performance and ability to do the job. Pricing is also about the same. Thanks!
