studio

After going through months of mental preparation, I'm 'this close' [holding thumb and index finger really close] to clicking that "Purchase M3 iMac" button on the Apple Store website 😁 Before I click that button, I wanted to ask all of you, in my most favorite Mac Forum, if you indeed bought...

I play a lot of Dota, have $3500 USD to spend and all I really want is the best Dota gaming experience on a Mac. I am open to desktop, not just laptops, and am currently eyeing up a Studio M2 Max. Just wondering, would that be the absolute best for playing Dota? i.e would the new M3 have some...

My iMac 27" from 2015 badly needs to be replaced. I'm very keen un a buying a Mac Mini or preferable Mac Studio. I need two monitors but I simply can not afford two Apple Displays. Next to my iMac I have a very good 5K Dell Monitor that I'm quite fond of. Due to my disabililty I need to be able...

Hi Folks, I was on the verge of ordering a new M2 mini kinda 'maxed' out (24Gb/1Tb) for 1450 (all prices in euros). Now, some other options have emerged. A base Studio (M1) for 1800 (very good price for a studio, since in EU we have VAT). A base Studio (M2) for 2000. I'm leaning toward the...

So my job is purchasing a new machine for me next month and I've been looking into what to get. We use Apple products and even before they announced the new Studio at WWDC a few days ago I knew I was going to be getting a Mac Studio. I'm gonna max out the new M2 Ultra chip and (due to budget...

If this has been answered elsewhere, please feel free to direct me there With the announcement of new models for the Mac Studio, I am looking to upgrade my old iMac 27 inch 5K. Most of my work at home is home computing including a lot of photo editing, and some home video work. Between a...

Due to a job change, I need to get back on an Apple Silicon Mac. My choices are: 1) buy an M1 Mini 16GB / 512GB today for $1099, which I can afford or… 2) base Mac Studio 32/512 for $900 more — I would need to save up for a month or so to get this. What draws me to Studio: double the RAM and...

I’ll be buying a Studio Max and trying to determine how large a drive I should get. Especially important as internal SSD cannot be upgraded (as I understand it) and will have to last a number of years. The internal drive will have system and apps; data, Time Machine, videos etc will be on...

I'm a pro video editor and sometime colorist, switching from in-office to remote work and I'm upgrading my desktop setup. I had a 2014 Mac Pro (garbage can) with three Dell U2414H (1920x1080, 24"). I'll be getting a Mac Studio (M1 Ultra) in a few weeks and I'm struggling with resolution, dpi...

Within the next two/three months I am going to need to upgrade from my 21.5 inch late 2013 iMac. I work with stock photography and video and use my iMac for editing photography and now some 4k video too (mostly I do selection and organising, editing metadata, resizing submissions of images)...

What is the *total* USB3 and USB 2 bandwidth across the non-Thunderbolt USB ports on a Mac Studio Max? Breaking in my Mac Studio Max, trying to decide which USB device goes where, and trying to interpret the System Report which looks something like: > USB 3.1 Bus [Any USB devices...

Hi all, I just got my Mac Studio (with M1 Max inside), that I use in tandem with a MacBook when on my main desk, and I was wondering if it was possible to link them via usb-c/thunderbolt to provide both high speed network and power for the MacBook. So I tried, and it seems to work quite well, I...

I like to make the Macintosh HD icon look the same as my computer which in this case is the Mac Studio. I can't seem to find one online. Has anyone else?

Today was supposed to be fun, and interesting. Instead it was disappointing and frustrating. I “tore down” my 27” iMac setup. Reran all the needed wires, cleaned, etc. Then I set the Studio in place, then the monitor. Powered it on, and let it get through those first boots. Then I plugged in...

I've seen in a couple of places that the M1 Mac Mini has issues when connected to Studio display, with performance levels dropping noticeably. I'm weighing up between a 16GB Mini and a Studio Max base model. There's a gulf in price terms, but I have an 8GB Mini with a 4K screen and I'm yet to...

Hello! Apple states that the Mac Studio’s maximum continuous power (draw) is 370 W. I assume this refers to a top specked M1 Ultra. Does anyone know the continuous power requirements of an M1 Max 32c GPU with 64GB unified memory? Thank you!

After the announcement of the Mac Studio display, I was underwhelmed. The display is gorgeous, but spending £1,500 on the display alone with an iMac sitting a couple hundred cheaper is making me question the value I will get from this display vs the price. Another display is out the question, I...

Any indications that the SSD in the Mac Studio could be user upgradable? I intend to buy the base M1 Max version with the 512GB SSD, but will I be able to change it in the future? Or could we add a second SSD in there?

I'm curious on what power plug Apple is using on their new display. Please let me know :)

Hello everyone, I decided to open this thread because I'm having battery issues myself with my new M1 MacBook Pro, and since I still cannot understand If the battery has some issues or it's just paranoia, I came to this conclusion: It would be good if people shared their battery life while...
