Thank you so much. This was exactly video I was looking for. I bought the studio and after watching a handful of videos, I felt like I made a mistake because I am not a creator. My workflow is similar to yours and all my apps stay open was I start using them. So thank you for this practical advice and I can now enjoy my studio w/o any buyers remorse.
Thank you for taking the time to comment, Tina. No need for buyer's remorse. It's a fantastic machine and definitely adds to the productivity of any power user, even if we are not creatives 😉. I hope you get a lot of enjoyment and productivity from it 👍
Thank you for this video. It's frustrating to watch dozens of video editing videos, telling myself 'I don't do this. I want to know what else it does and what it doesn't do'.
Got mine recently w/ 64 gig of unified ram and 1 TB SSD because I do photography editing, along with the sort of business apps you mentioned. My experience with the first M1 machines (both MBP and iMac) was that the 16 gig of unified memory was not enough with either LightRoom or Capture One. Started having memory leak issues with both software products. I also have the Studio Display as well and together it makes a wonderful pairing that I hope will last for years. I have zero issues with any fan noise.
Thanks for taking the time to comment; John, you're right about the M1 issues and the excellent paring of the Mac Studio and the studio display. I hope you have many productive years with that setup 👍
Nice video and thanks for not being a video editor, it makes a refreshing change not to hear Premier Pro or Final Cut mentioned. I have a very old, well 8 year old Mac Book Pro, this has reached the end of the line with regard to Mac OS updates, the MBP gets used for just about everything but mostly photo editing via Lightroom (NOT Photoshop which I don't use at all), now with my photo files getting ever larger the old MBP is getting a bit tired and a bit hot around the edges, so I will upgrade to the Studio in the next few weeks. I already have a keyboard, mouse and screen which are connected to the MBP so only need the Studio. My plan is to get the base model but increase storage to 1tb (maybe 2tb) but leave everything else as standard, if anyone has reservations about this please feel free to chip in with some other configurations. Thanks for any feedback/input.
Thanks for taking the time to comment Martin 👍. Honestly, I am so exited for you 😊. The base configuration with 1 or 2 tb I think offers good value. But the performance vs your current setup will just be 😳😊. I hope you enjoy it for many years when you get it. BTW I haven't edited for over a year now but my editor of choice (which isn't even loaded onto this machine) is Adobe Rush, something nice and simple like my editing skills 😂.
Just had to return my Mac Studio because it was making a very high pitched metallic sound mostly at idle. I think I will wait a bit to try and buy it again, seen a lot of people online complain of the same issue.
Hey, thank you for the comment, and I really like your channel and content, keep up the excellent work 👍. Regarding the issue, it's fascinating. I would love to have done a side by side comparison with mine 😂 because, as I mentioned in this video, it is defiantly not silent 🤔. Before reading your message, I was working with noise-cancelling headphones on listening to music, but in taking them off, I was like, oh yeah, I can hear a high pitched constant sound at idle. It's not too loud but definitely audible. It's such a shame because I feel the studio is a massive step up from your mini. P.S. the more I am listening to the studio noise as I type this, the more it is annoying me 😂.
@@AlexSamuels ooh no hope yours isn’t suffering from the same issue. The few days I had mine I installed TG pro and if I turned down the fans to 1100rpm the sound went away. But then I decided having a work around for a machine that’s over $2,000 isn’t worth it.
@@rockinromanphoto it is having the same issue 😕, I didn't think it was actually an issue as I'm used to hearing some fan noise especially on a powerful computer. Is it actually supposed to be silent 🤔. Tbh, it's quite enough that I normally forget about it but your message made me really focus on it and it sounded soooo loud 😂.
Thanks for this video. I got a Studio because my Mini with 8GB was too small for work. I am a software developer. I had exactly the same issues, browser or editors struggling. I had high (yellow) memory pressure and slow response time. Since getting the base Studio all of this has disappeared.
Thanks for taking the time to comment Jerry 👍. It sort of annoys me that there is not a way to realise how much the Mac System is struggling and actually for that matter how powerful a system you need, it's sort of a guess. Honestly, just thinking it though, when I sign up for broadband there is a calculator to say what are your needs here is a suggestion of the speed that works for you, I ignore that because I just want the fastest upload speed possible but I like the idea. Could apple not have a processor calculator and say these devices might work best for you 🤔.
@@AlexSamuels Some sort of calculator would have been nice. But people's needs do change over time. I try to get something that I think will work for the next 2 years. Especially when the tech is new like Apple Silicon and subject to fast improvement as the engineers figure out how to optimize it.
@@JBoy340a I think your right but honestly I'm expecting more to come from third party software improvements also. Apple silicone isn't new just new to mac so I think mac software will hopefully develop quicker than hardware 🤞. M1 to M2 is a great example of nice but not groundbreaking improvements.
Seriously, everyone said silent and it just isn't. 🤬 I would have had no issue with the noise if people hadn't said silent. Silent doesn't even make sense, it does have a decent size fan in it and it is powerful. Sorry, 🙈 Brian, I know you're agreeing with me 🤣, rant over 😊. P.s. thank you for the comment. 👍
Apple always put too little flash memory in their base model iPhones and Macs. I would recommend buying the base model of the Mac Studio but with 1 or 2 Tb instead of the default none upgradable 0.5 Tb of Flash memory. One additional advantage of buying a larger SSD that I discovered is that the larger Apple SSDs are faster.
I think that's a really good point Paul about the memory being non upgradable 👍. I think a motto like if insure go for more would work well 🤔😉. In my particular case though today I have over 365 GB free and there is no way I will use anymore than about an extra 150 GB.
@@AlexSamuels you don't strike me as a call of duty gamer. However, when the M1 Mac Mini came out I was impressed by a video which showed how well it ran the intel Mac Steam version of Call of Duty Black Ops 3 using Rosetta 2. Interestingly COD Black Ops 3 is 100 Gb in size which is why I would want a much bigger than default SSD if I ever buy an M1 Mac Mini. Retr0rob posted the video which I am referring to which is entitled ""2020 Macbook Air M1 Running Call of Duty Black Ops 3". I think that Intel Mac Steam games running under Rosetta 2 are the best source of games for the Mac Studio.
@@paulharrison8379 Hi Paul, your right I am not a COD gamer, or a gamer now, I was until I had kids but that was 10 years ago now (fond memories of a different life). Which means your comment is really intrresting to know quite how big the file size for games can be! You, make a very good point, 512 GB would be nowhere near enough if you wanted to game with this machine. Thank you for updating me on my very out of date gaming knowlade.
@@AlexSamuels I am sure that you will not regret only buying a 512 Gb SSD and you still have the option of using external storage. However, an interesting thing that people have found is that (unlike in the M1 Mac Mini) the Mac Studio's SSD is a socketed (none standard) SSD and that there is a second spare free SSD socket in a Mac Studio. People have tried moving the SSD from their second Mac Studio into that spare socket and it did not work. Presumably Apple need to run some sort of configuration program to make it work. However, it does show that upgrades from Apple will be possible at some future date.
@@paulharrison8379 that's a really good point Paul 👍, and I have seen that before. However, unfortunately I can't see Apple ever offering that. I assume it's just to make manufacturing different models simpler and cheaper. It's very frustrating, unlike back in the day when they used to let you mess with Ram on an impact I think you are right about making sure you have enough memory for the lifetime of the product.
Good job Alex, Some of us were left without a choice since the 5k iMac would no longer update. That said, the Mac Studio has done well so far without any noticeable issues. I can not hear any fans, but then again, I have not pushed it to the limit and don't think I ever will. The increased speed is evident - love it. The only issue is with the studio display camera. I am told a fix is in the pipeline. Other than that, great system and I love the updated ports, a big improvement from a very old 5k iMac.
I am wondering if the fan noise is a quality control issue because mine makes a noise always 🤔. Re the camera 🙈, I think im getting a studio display next week bur the camera will never be great 😔 IMHO, it might be better but they have put an ultra wide Web cam in a not massive monitor. The beta software for the camera software looks like a marginal improvement it will be fine for a Web cam but don't get your hopes up. I hope you are enjoying using your new mac studio setup 👌. Thank you for taking the time to comment Pablo 👍.
A refreshing perspective! Id like to know how matlab and other engineering programs run, comparing to previous intel machines, but so far every review talks to me like I record RUclips videos for a living LOL.
Thank you very much 🙏. I wish I had the skills to use the software and tell you, but in my experience as long as the software is compatible with M1 chips, anything I have thrown at it has just been better and quicker than any intel machine I have used.
So it’s an interesting question as I have just bought a studio display which if I can find the time I will do a comparison video with. However, for years I have been using the HP Z27 27" 4K UHD IPS Monitor. I think HP have upgraded it a bit recently but in the main I have been very happy with it. I hope that helps.
My usage is very similar to yours except I also enjoy occasional gaming, and I have found the base model M1 Studio Max to be the perfect computer for me. I too moved up from an M1 Mac mini (16/512).
Bryan, you have made my day 👍, it's nice to know I am not the only one out there. I used to be a gamer (pre-kids 🙈). In lockdown, I even put Bootcamp on my intel MacBook pro and enjoyed too many hours of AOE 😊. Actually, that is probably the only thing I miss with the new chips the ease of loading Bootcamp and having that dual boot option. Could you imagine getting to use the M1 Max or even Ultra chips in a Windows echo system natively at the press of a few buttons 😊. Oh well, I suspect that's a future that will never happen.
I'm a pro creative (design) and there's a stigma going around towards anyone using M1 studios, or MBP if you aren't specifically a video/3D editor! The jump from mini/air 16gb of ram to 32gb in the pros/studios is a very deliberate one on apples part. Really though if you are ANY professional the cost difference is negligible!
I think that’s a very good point Alan 👍. Also, I think you have to wear your pro business expense, time is money hat which ca be difficult to put across in a video like this 😊.
Jake I know, I was trying to improve it and it backfired 🙈. Thank you for taking the time to give the feedback 👍. I will work to improve it moving forward 😊
Fantastic video on the two devices. for me i'm a windows and android users and the devices i have are: HP Elitebook 840 G2 14'' laptop and I use this as my main computer to get projects, essays, and research done. i use this for heavy uses since it has an i7 processor which is the latest and fastest processor up to date, has 16 gigs of ram and has (I believe 128 gigs of storage, I could be wrong). it also lasts for at least 7 hours, but reading from the past reviews they said you can put in a second battery so it can last 14-16 hrs. What more can I ask for in this powerful laptop. Second is my Microsoft Surface Pro 2 and I bought this back in 2020 before the lockdowns accord and this device, although it is a hybrid of a tablet and a laptop with the attatchable keyboard, this has been a best device that got me through tthe rest of the college year by Zoom class meetings, projects, and etc... i use it to go out since its compact and I can go anywear with it ( i only bring out my G2 if it's necessary) it offers to me a balance between me using it as a tablet to write don notes, drawing some ideas, create list, and so on; when connecting to a keyboard I will use it like for regula average work when giving the opportunity. It's 8 gigs of ram, has the I5 processor it's still fast since it's an older generation due to it's age, and it has 256 gigs of iternal storage and offers a expanable storage of 1TB. It also has Bluetooth to connect my earphones as well as my G2. Forgot to mention that the battery life last for 8hrs and if I put it in tablet mode the battery increase to at least 9 to 10 hrs and possible 13 hrs depending on the brightness and turning things off. Love my devices.
Thanks, Kenneth, and thank you for sharing. I know quite a few people who love their Surface Pros; to be honest, they look like the future. I know we get used to them, but OMG, if I could have had something like that 20 years ago 😳. It's incredible what we get used to. It is nice, though, to have a laptop though to fall back on. That is really why I have made this video; for me, your G2 is my Mac Studio, my iPad Pro does almost everything except 🤔; it's difficult to put my finger on it, but for lots of things, it's just easier to work with an excellent full keyboard and a 27" monitor. But I am really pleased you said you love your devices, and I get that because it can make working that bit more pleasurable 😊.
@@AlexSamuels Thanks man. Oh 😶 I forgot I do have another laptop and it's a Toshiba Satelite C55840 (if the numbers are right) and that laptop has been with me since I was in high school. However, lots of things needs to be done on it. Ram needs to be updated, a new motherboard ( nothing's wrong with it, just the clip to reattach the keyboard is broke) a new charger as well as a new battery. But the specs on this is 8 gigs of ram, 64 gigs of storage, and it can take 1TB of storage. If I get my brother to fix it (if I get the parts) then all is good. The battery on it is 4-5 hours, but if I by the Duracell battery itll last a bit longer.
@@AlexSamuelsprobably as a spare in case something were to happen to the G2 and maybe use it as a common utility device for gaming and possibly for a lot of entertainment. Mind you the processor it has is a AMD chip.
