Apple Mac Studio, Apple M1 Max Chip, 12-Core GPU, 32GB RAM, 512GB SSD, MJMV3B/A At Checkout

Got 16 M1 Max MacBook pro Still need PC for 3D works no matter what apple fan boys say

All these youtubers they talk about apple because it is most view generator

Another thing M3 Max is on the market and
Apple M3 Max 16-Core outperforms Apple M1 Max by 93% in Cinebench 15 64-bit multi-core.
What I'm saying that you buying old tech already
This year M4 releasing

Not going to argue as different people different needs Just my point
Nobody think about real world usage when i start using then i can see the problems :
1) HDMI 2.0 and apple scaling Prepare to buy apple Studio Display for another £1500
yes there dongle to display port possible can do 120 4K But what about HDMI 120Hz or HDR
I managed to get 120 Hz using external HDMI adapter but needed to program adapter to trick apple to 120 Hz No what about 120 hz and HDR this where problem start coming working not working ..... after issues No just using 120 Hz 4k 10 bit but Oled can do HDR but i can not use because of apple HDMI 2.0 plus they limiting adapter as well
Why apple put to PRO laptop HDMI 2.0 ????? o but in M2 PRO they made HDMI 2.1 and WIFI 6 apple way get little by little Sma thing with iPhone 15 Pro USB - C WOW

2) No keyboard no Mouse Prepare to pay for apple or Logitech mac keyboard & mouse maybe £200
3) SSD 512 Gb Prepare thunderbolt 3 Dock with SSD another £100-200 for the case only SSD is separate price
4) No expansion Slots , prepare Dongle life style
Example I have 1 TB SSD mac and it is really very minimum these days to add more storage is plug external SSD dongle and this all the time like this
Instead of add to macbook another SSD like other laptop have i need to have dongles all around laptop
5) Does not matter 32 Core or 24 Core GPU
GPU is useless WHY because apple eco system have very little 3D app to use these GPU . Yest there couple AAA games , autocad 2D and Blender This is most what i know for 3D works .Does not matter if you have 16 Core or 24 Core or 32 Core No difference
Example I have 32 Core GPU and where to use ???? for 3D ????? it is already 3 years where is the Software
6 ) Same thing for apple eco System What apple say or give this what will run on M1
if apple do not think or do not want Then going around will not work because all system is locked and disabling security is like opening world to your doors

I would hold off for the M4 because of the encryption security flaw with the M1, M2 and M3.

It can't even be fixed with a firmware update.

I have this machine and it's great. But not bothering with a new one until the M4.

Depending on model of studio the front ports are only usb3 not thunderbolt  this one is just 4 not 6 i think

Rather be in NZ than get this price

I just use my 50tb ssd 10gb raid . Its not a problem. (edited)

This isn't aimed at gamers.

I do like a Beelink. Bargaintastic..

Better then this u wud say ?

This runs all the current AI things as well as an the latest and greatest M3, its bottlenecked on memory bandwidth and that has stayed a constant 400GB/s on M1 M2 M3 max cpus. So its current age isn't much of an issue, yes M4 could maybe up the bar on this metric but then it might not but you can sure as hell bet that it will cost serious $$$

This is a seperate computer, you wouldn't plug it into another computer? Do you mean a screen?

Need to be more specific for us to help

I imagine its old stock. Apple stopped selling these some time ago. I think the lowest I've seen them is £1400. New versions will be over 2k and I imagine very few people will see much of a real world benefit.

Absolutely. 

The 2 video encoders/decoders make working on video faster, especially rendering. 

The additional ram and better port selection make it a better machine to the Mac Mini (I have 3 minis, from base model 16gb / 1Tb model)..  

It was an offer until monday night
