Review: Apple Mac Studio and Studio Display
Being a professional content creator is expensive. Not only do you need a high-end camera with accompanying equipment, you also need a beefy computer with enough processing power to handle all of your high-res footage. Apple loyalists of late could choose between the 24-inch iMac all-in-one ($1,299), the compact Mac Mini ($699), or the ridiculously expensive Mac Pro ($6,000). But with the new Mac Studio on the scene, there's now a near-perfect middle ground.
The Mac Studio comes with two processor choices: the M1 Max or M1 Ultra. Both are markedly more powerful than Apple's cheaper desktop Macs and even surpass the expensive Mac Pro. The Mac Studio starts at $2,000 and isn't what I'd call “cheap,” but you'll be hard-pressed to find an equivalent this powerful and compact for a similar price.
This is a review of the Mac Studio, but I talk about the Studio Display as well. It's Apple's new external monitor. Both are designed to be used together for the Full Apple Experience, but you can also use any display with the Mac Studio, and you can connect the Studio Display to most computers (some features are limited on Windows).
