when will your orders be arriving ? cannot wait for the reviews
I have to think your concerns about potential cooling concerns with higher spec'd machines should be unwarranted. If Apple has to scale back performance in order to deal with heat problems then this (desktop) system has completely missed the mark. Real world testing is needed for sure but that beefy heatsink and fans has to good for something.
Don't forget about the music production
It depends on what your doing. I’m running a Vienna Ensemble Pro Server on the Mac Studio (alongside the DAW), and despite the excellent swap drive speeds I want all of my samples loaded directly into RAM, so I got the Ultra, with 48 GPU cores,128GB, 2TB NVME, That’s my sweet spot. With new peripherals it cost about $7,700.
Never thought apple will kill the 27 inch iMac, so shit of apple!
Hi Max, I think Apple missed the plot a bit with the display. If needed to be 1,000 nits minimum for high dynamic range edit/grading. Our TV can reach (a claimed) 1,600 nits.
Not worth it for most users:
1. 99.999% don't use more that two displays (most use one)
2. 99.999% don't render videos and are not content creators
3. 99.999% prefer a device that's not a desktop machine for ease of use and mobility
It's a very specific and tiny segment that will be fully utilizing the Mac Studio and I don't think it's that future-proof either with no serviceable or upgradeable parts this computer will be more of a status symbol for everyone not owning a professional 6K or 8K video camera producing high quality videos.
Looking forward to your in depth review! m1 mania continues this 2022
If you bought 3 I think you got the base model $2000, the M1Ultra model at $4000 and the maxed M1 ultra with 128gb and 64 cores gpu
Now we talking… like now… but wait for geek bench upgrade before making the synthetic tests
Mac studio is a pointless machine for general consumers who just plan on entertainment and stuff!! The display is not even high refresh rate!! and the mac alone for 2000$ is waste of money if you are not a professional who can take advantage of the power inside it!!
Very useful you saved me so much money. I’ll just stick with the base with some extra memory!
Ummmm it’s actually the EXACT same panel as the LG ultrafine. So your paying top dollar for a 6year old screen.
Bro are you high? Gen 4 nvme SSD over 7GBps are not that expensive. I can get a 4TB sabrant rocket 4 plus with a thunderbolt enclosure for $840 on Amazon. Apple is charging an extra $1200 for the same performance. And much like in the MacBook Pro if you get less storage they probably won’t preform as well meaning you can pay less for better preference by getting an external SSD.
I’m going for top spec with 4tbhd. I need this my m1 16gb 1tb hd can’t cope with my work load
Monitor is way too expensive. Just wrapping the inflation process in one way or another. I think it’s a good value for replacing the iMac Pro in price point.
Mistake #1 buying the Mac Studio instead of the M1 Mac mini
Thanks a lot !
Does Mac Studio have its own speakers? I have a monitor without speakers and I don't know if I need to buy extra speakers. Sorry for the possibly stupid question.
Definitely want an ultra!
@Max a key test would be performance with two HDR monitoring rendering two different video tasks. My Mac Pro with two video cards still sucks and maxes out the 128 gigs of memory
If u don't need all that don't waste your money as soon as u do something else going to come out better it's your money but people be lying and they never had it yet just wait
Does it run minecraft
Max Tech is still the best tech product review!
how about u shut up & dont tell me what to do…
Thanks, that was helpful.
Really thinking about upgrading, since my MacBook Pro is in 7 years old.. BUT i have a feeling no matter which one i get, LightRoom will still chew it up and spit it out like its old garbage 😛 I dunno what it is about LR, but no matter the computer specs, it acts the same.
Hi Max, do you know if Apple will have 1 specd up model of the Mac studio ? can’t seem to figure that out yet. Thanks
Great information. Thanks
Can we please get a Mac capable for 3D developers. With Unreal engine ripping through VFX industry, Archviz and film making with realtime photo realism rendering, it has been frustrating how many features Mac OS is missing for Mac Unreal Developers ( i.e. path tracing etc) . Can this new studio beast be our savior without having to be tempted to venture back into the PC nightmares? The future is 3d, metaverse, web 3.0 with its WebXR standards (sadly missing for Mac users) and tools like Unreal Engine. Granted iOS ARkit is the most advanced with features and capabilities, but without hardware or a true audience ( VR HMD, AAA Games platforms ) the iPhone screen serving as the default AR interface and viewport doesn’t cut it. How long is AR cool or useful pointing your iPhone camera at the real world? About 2 minutes. Many were hoping to hear from Apple about Apple Glasses and Reality OS, however now it is still myth.
Thanks bro! Your videos always help
Thanks for the video! You say on previous tests between 32gb and 64gb RAM you didnt notice any performance difference, but I'm curious, did the RAM fill up on the 32gb? I use alot of RAM currently on my old mac pro and I'd be concerned about getting the 32 for it being filled up to the max using RAM intensive tasks, I'd be concerned about the computer eating some of the SSD when RAM is full as I hear the older M1 does this alot and kills the SSD
Great. video. This buyers guide clarified a lot for me. The idea that the Apple SSD is reasonably priced is a new reality.
Memory are critical for After Effects and audio Softwares – so do not say nobody needs it. 😉
Thank you for the wonderful review and Guide. I was on the edge of choosing between 48 and 62core GPU. I realize with music production; I don’t need that much GPU or 128GB of Ram. I have made my order it will be here in 6weeks. Quite a long wait, but it’s all worth it, I guess. Thanks again.
Re: 06:20 – Would video editing apps like Davinci Resolve and Topaz Lab's AI software show a noticeable improvement with 32-GPU vs 24-core?
Psst: The pronoun – I – is always CAPITALIZED. 🙂
08:57 About the 32GB vs 64GB memory test video that you're referring to. In the Xcode test, it would have been more realistic if you had opened at least 2 Xcode simulators (e.g. IPad Pro and iPhone 13) with a mobile project opened in Xcode and running in both simulators. Or use the Interface Builder (Visual Designer) for desktop apps built into Xcode, with a mid to high complex UI opened. And of course the desktop app being developed running.
Its a matter of time the software developers choke the cpu with massive updates you have to download but dont need- never buy apple 1.0
I believe that the 4 and 8tb are Raid 0 pairs which wwould explain the major jump in thorughput.
