    Real world video editing with new studios. Mac Studio m3 ultra base 96 ram vs Mac Studio M4 Max 64 gb of ram.

    After days of research and asking many forums, I am still just confused as confused as ever with which Mac Studio to buy as a video editor. At this point, I feel like it makes sense to either buy the M4 max studio with 64gb of ram or the M3 ultra base with 96 gb of ram. I ruled out the max with...

    What are you guys doing with maxed out Mac Studios?

    I'm just curious, but what are you MacRumors fellas doing with Mac Studios that cost more than my car? I'd love to hear what you guys have to say.

    Monitor for new Mac Studio

    Having ordered a Mac Studio, I knew I’d need a new monitor. My existing ones are old 1080p screens which, attached to my MBP don’t look all that great. With the MBP I can use its own screen for work, and the external screens to dump things on that I only need to glance at, but the Studio...

    The New Fan Noise Battle: M4 Pro mini v. M4 Max Studio

    As others have noticed, the price gap has widened between the M4 Pro Mac mini and M4 Max Mac Studio whereas with the M2 series it was more narrow so it tilted in favor of the Studio for "low end" configurations. As a result, I'm looking at the mini again but still leaning towards the Studio...

    Choosing a Mac for under $1400: Mac Studio vs Mac Mini vs iMac

    Hello! It’s been a really long time since I’ve asked for buying advice, but after years of trying and trying to make an iPad Pro work as my only computer, I’ve found that it no longer meets all my needs. For context, my budget is $1400, and the computers I am looking at are the: - Mac Studio...

    M4 Pro Mac mini v. Future M4 Max Mac Studio

    The M4 Mac mini looks like a true bargain but the M4 Pro Mac mini seems like it will compare poorly against the future M4 Mac Studio for those who want more memory and can wait a few months. Apple has been holding the line on prices and doubling memory on the base models. With this in mind: *...

    Upgrade to M4 Pro Mac mini from M2 Max Mac Studio?

    Hi! I currently have an M2 Max Studio (32GB RAM, 1TB storage). It's way overpowered for my needs (I basically do text editing, watch videos on YouTube, very light and infrequent video editing, 842,49 GB available in my hard drive... you get the idea). Now, I was wondering if it would be a good...

    M1 Studio 10 GB Ethernet port "inactive" stubbornness (hard coding network settings helped though not reliably)

    Upgraded my M1 Studio Base Max to to the latest Sonoma 14.7 update late yesterday and then Sequoia this morning with no apparent issues. I later discovered that since I had both Wi-Fi and wired Ethernet connections, when I disabled Wi-Fi, the Ethernet connection failed to negotiate 10 GB to my...

    How do I fix the positions of Widgets on the desktop?

    Every time I start up my MacStudio (M1), my Widget on the desktop is not sorted the way I would like it to be. Every time I put you down correctly. But upon restart it is wrong again. I can't find how to prevent and set this up.

    Setting Up Mac Studio and Synology NAS Without Breaking the Bank

    Hello everyone! I recently purchased a new Synology NAS for my Mac Studio and am excited to finally leverage the 10Gbe port. However, I'm faced with a dilemma on how to proceed. I've noticed that switches with 10Gbe ports are quite expensive for their basic function, so I'm considering an...

    Parallels vs VMware Fusion (can we save money?)

    Do you think Mac Studio will be around for a while?

    I am thinking about buying a Mac Studio. I understand it's not upgradeable at all (after you buy). I know Apple has launched a few products recently and then stopped making them. The 12" MacBook comes to mind. I don't want to buy a product that may get discontinued around the corner. So, I am...

    Is it possible to connect the current Mac Studio to 27" Apple LED Cinema Displays?

    I have two old 27" Apple LED Cinema Displays that have power and the cable that slips into USB-A, MiniDisplay, and the magnetic alternate power option. That all runs out the back of the monitors. I'm currently using a 2013 Mac Pro (trash can) and will be finally upgrading to the current Mac...

    Considering going from 2013 Mac Pro to Mac Studio - Is my thinking sound?

    As much as I adore my Mac Pro, with her amazingly cool looks and classic beauty, it is a bit poky in the big scheme of things now, and I am thinking of divorcing her and moving on to a Mac Studio. The current 6 core Pro has 64 GB of ram and 1 TB of internal storage, and my frugal plans are to...
