❔ What computer is your Mac Studio replacing? ❔

[sonicthehedgefrog]

Trash can Mac Pro, in my case.

 

[F-Train]

2018 Mac mini with AMD Vega 56 external GPU. I'll be using the same Eizo 27" monitor (CS2740).

2020 m1 Mac mini

[enricoclaudio]

2017 27" iMac 5K

 

[Spanky Deluxe]

Early 2009 Mac Pro that's been heavily upgraded (12 Core 3.33GHz, 96GB RAM, 2TB NVME SSD, Radeon 580). It's been on its last legs for a while. The power savings alone are going to save me £500 a year!!

2018 Mac Min i7

Late 2012 27" iMac.

 

[ColdUpNorth]

2016 15" MBP (i7)

 

[Boil]

Windows 10 machine (built late 2019):

• ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Impact X570 mDTX motherboard
• AMD 3900X Ryzen 9 CPU (12C/24T)
• Arctic Cooling Liquid Freezer II 240 (240mm AIO water cooling solution)
• (2) Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM fans (120x25mm - High Static Pressure - on AIO)
• 32GB G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4 RAM (2@16GB DIMMs - 3600/16.16.16.36 - Samsung B-die)
• 1TB Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus M.2 NVMe SSD (PCIe Gen4 x4)
• Nvidia GTX 650 Ti GPU (2GB VRAM)
• Corsair SF750 SFX PSU (750W - Platinum-rated)
• Fractal Era ITX chassis
• Noctua NF-A8 PWM fan (80x25mm - rear exhaust)

Had an AMD RX5700XT 50AE (50th Anniversary Edition) GPU in there, but it ran too hot...

Sold it off, but then the whole GPU market exploded with shy-high pricing, so I am stuck with my back-up GPU...

Mac Pro, trashcan.

 

[Zensō]

2018 15" MacBook Pro. I pretty much only use it in clamshell mode these days, so the Studio will be a welcome replacement.

Home built PC

• AMD Ryzen 7 3800X
• Nvidia RTX 2070 Super 8GB
• 32GB RAM

The new Studio 10/24/32/1TB will replace a 2018 Mini i7/32GB/1TB and an Asus Vega 56 e-gpu.

I’ll keep my 32“ ViewSonic 4k monitor.
And the space gray Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad.

 

[Johnf1285]

I'll be replacing a Late 2015 iMac 27"
- 3.3GHz Intel i5

- 512GB SSD
- 32GB 1867Mhz RAM

 

[Sharky II]

Mac Pro 12 x 3.46GHz 48GB Ram, Sapphire 580 RX 8GB, 256GB NVMe drive, all SSDs. Used mainly for audio/music/recording, as well as FCPX and Capture One.

Wondering if the base model with 32GB will be enough... really want the Ultra, but £4k is just a bit much for me, I think. I won't be buying from the Apple store so leave it a week (or 4) to see it in stores/on Amazon.

 

[Random_Matt]

3080 Ti gaming rig, simply don't play many games anymore. Modern gaming is pretty ****, to be honest. Still like stuff like BG and all that stuff though.

Just buy the base and then buy the M3 Max.

 

[Sharky II]

Yes, I think that might be a good idea. Buy the base and upgrade a couple of years sooner, save the £2k...
