Has anyone looked at or paid attention to the Mac Studio?
I think I may have found my next desktop, and a replacement for most purposes for my faithful Mac Pro.
This is quite an impressive computer, to say the least. It basically has the footprint of the Mac Mini, but is about 3x as tall, and has ports!
ARM CPUs already run quite cool relative to their performance, and the Mac Studio case leaves room for a lot of heat sink and the ability to move some serious air, even though report are that it runs quite quiet. That means that it can take a beating without having to throttle to stay cool.
I'm eying the base spec M1 Ultra. The Ultra is basically two M1 Max CPUs joined together, and has 20 CPU cores and 48 GPU cores. The Ultra models start with 64GB RAM(my big complaint about my M1 MBP is the base 8gb RAM) and 1tb storage. Given the option, I'd downgrade that and use fast external, but Apple won't let you do that.
In any case, I haven't ordered yet, but will update here when I do.
It's an exciting time to be a Mac user!
