![]() You can really go for a minimalist look for your desk if you want to. The Mac Studio though sits perfectly just under my monitor. I couldn’t put it on my table, didn’t fit. The hackintosh it’s replacing was huge in comparison. With the latest Macbook Pros and this Mac Studio, Apple is. I have not found any other PC equivalent with this form factor this powerful, power efficient and this quiet, none. I said before that as a bonus, because of its small footprint, I can easily carry this machine with me when I go home to Indonesia later in the summer. Fortunately storage is expandable with Thunderbolt, such as with this Sonnet Tech Dual NVMe Dock. Yes I do have an Unraid machine for long term storage which proved to be useful, but with only this small of a storage, it’s preventing me to pursue more creative workflows like music creation. It’s not a deal breaker, I still have ~300GB of free space but there is FOMO of some sort from having non-upgradeable storage. What I don’t like about the base model is it comes with only 512GB of storage. Nothing in my use case brings this machine to the edge of its capability. This ain’t a gimmick, this combination is true power/performance for my use case. The Mac Studio comes with the M1 Max 10 core/10 threads and 32GB of really fast DDR5 memory integrated in the SoC. This served me well, it’s faster than my i7 8700K hackintosh. Specsīefore the Mac Studio, I am coming from an Intel i5 11400 (6 core/12 threads) hackintosh with 32GB of memory.
