    Need advice on Mac Studio M3 Ultra 512GB/4TB

    I’m considering moving from a Mac Studio M3 Ultra (512GB / 4TB, like new) to a more portable setup, and trying to figure out the best place to sell it. For those who’ve sold high-end Macs, where did you get the best balance between price, safety, and fees? eBay, local, or forums? Also curious if...

    MP All Models Apple killed the Mac Pro on purpose

    So this is something I've been thinking about for a while now, and my theory was proven right by Apple's decision to discontinue the Mac Pro. In 2013, Apple released the trashcan Mac Pro, a machine that's now loved by enthusiasts, but back then every professional hated the thing. And for a...

    M5 MAX MBP vs MacBook Neo + Mac Studio?

    M3 Pro Macbook Pro is not cutting it anymore. I love it but the memory bandwith is low, the ram is not enough. I was a basic graphic designer when I got this, but since I started working in the VR lab in my university, I started working heavily with Unity and Unreal engine, and the broader Meta...

    Experience with chinese SSD upgrades for the Mac studio?

    Hello everyone! So I picked up an M4 Max Mac Studio at the Apple Store a couple days ago (14C 32C, 36GB, 512GB). That was the only model they had in stock, all the other configurations would take 7 weeks to get here, and by that time I'd be out of business probably 😂 However, the 512GB SSD is...

    MacBook Pro + Samsung Movingstyle

    Does anyone have experience with Samsung's Movingstyle moveable screen? It seems to be a 'smart tv' on a stand, and in my experience smart tvs do not play nicely with computers. That is, I'm curious about using the movingstyle as an external (touch) monitor for a macbook or mac studio. I also...

    Charging a Macbook from a Mac Studio: does it harm the battery?

    Hi, people. Technical question about batteries. I rarely carry the charger when I need to work for a few hours with my M5 Macbook. When I get home, I usually keep the Macbook lid-closed by my side on the desk, charging from a USB-C cable attached to my Mac Studio while I work. It charges...

    Current Mac Studios (M3 Ultra and M4 Max) are showing at ipowerresale!

    Looks like the wait for M5 Mac Studios might be short. Apple is sending current M3 and M4 Studios to Ipowerresale, which must likely means that the M5's are not that far out from being available. Around last week, they still had M1 and M2 Studios. Again, this is just a hopeful observation.

    Should I get the MBP M4 Max or a Mac Studio + MacBook Air combo?

    Hello, I currently own a MacBook Pro 16” M2 Max, and it still performs great for my needs. However, I’m considering selling it — partly to avoid value depreciation, and partly to upgrade to a more powerful machine. I use a Studio Display and almost always run my MacBook in clamshell mode...

    M4 Max Studio ordered

    I received my $350 store credit today, so I placed the order for a Mac Studio. 😄 Before buying, I double checked the refurbished section expecting only to find M2 and M1 Studios. To my surprise, I found a M4 Max with the exact specs I wanted. That was additional $300 discount. Since I already...

    Real world video editing with new studios. Mac Studio m3 ultra base 96 ram vs Mac Studio M4 Max 64 gb of ram.

    After days of research and asking many forums, I am still just confused as confused as ever with which Mac Studio to buy as a video editor. At this point, I feel like it makes sense to either buy the M4 max studio with 64gb of ram or the M3 ultra base with 96 gb of ram. I ruled out the max with...
