Apple 's new Mac Studio is not a computer for the everyman.

It's the first Mac to break the one minute barrier on our long-running 4 K export test in Premiere Pro.

Videographers and those doing resource-intensive 3D work could be better served with the M4 Max edition of the new Studio .

You don’t have to spend anywhere close to this much money for a dependable, speedy Mac .

Like its predecessors, the 2025 Mac Studio delivers breakneck performance while running “shockingly quiet,” as Monica Chin wrote two years ago .

The M3 Ultra chip is overkill for many, including visual effects artists and animators.

As AI development continues to flourish, the kitted out configurations with 256 GB or 512 GB of memory could prove appealing to anyone interested in running sophisticated LLM models locally.
