27" iMac, the last one with Intel chip. I would consider using a laptop with external monitor, but the iMac has so far been the better deal dollars and cents wise.

As John has stated you can get the photography plan 1tb thru Adobe and accomplish this and I do it often. You can upload your images through Lightroom mobile to the cloud, and they will sync back down to your Lightroom classic catalog where they will be waiting when you get home. You can do quite a bit in Lightroom mobile but not as extensive as Lightroom classic. I personally think Lightroom mobile is a good platform but you are limited because you can’t use plug-ins and a few other features that are in Lightroom classic once you have your images back over in Lightroom classic you can delete them from the cloud at that point, or choose to keep them in the cloud whichever way works best for you.I have a 27" iMac and use my work laptop while traveling to download, cull and maybe do some light editing. I import the catalog from my trip into my main LR catalog on my iMac when I get home. But sometimes I would like the ability to work on my main LR catalog while sitting on my back patio or elsewhere around the house - not for critical editing but for organizing and maybe light editing. Because Apple overcharges so grotesquely for their SSD capacity I store my LR catalog on an external USB SSD and my image files on an external HD. I'm curious if anyone else works like this and if so how do you manage your files? I'm not really sure how I could seamlessly share/sync my catalog and image files between my iMac and a laptop (even if I were to get a MacBook Pro) without having to just physically disconnect the drives from my iMac and connect to the laptop each time I want work on the laptop, and then disconnect from the laptop and reconnect to the iMac when I'm done. That seems annoyingly cumbersome. Anyone have any suggestions?
adobe has their cloud stuff. might be worth a look
