The Best Apple Computer for Studio XDR?

[seasurfer]

I have heard people having issues with M2 Ultra?

So I guess M5 Max is the best Apple Computer to pair with Studio XDR?

Anyone having issues with M4 Max MacBook Pro?

My M4 Max MBP 16" works fine for dual XDRs.

My M4 Pro MBP 14" works fine for single XDR.

5K@120Hz... TB5 is the way to go. M4 or M5 in their various configurations.

My M4 Pro MBP 14" works fine for single XDR.

That is great to hear. With your M4 Max, do you have any issues like delay wake up times? Also, do you use Magic Keyboard for the Finger ID?

Any M3 Pro and up Mac will work at 5K 120HZ.

Any M3 Pro and up Mac will work at 5K 120HZ.

M2 Pro and M2 Max also support 5K 120Hz.

M2 Pro and M2 Max also support 5K 120Hz.

Thanks, I wasn't sure about those ones.

My M3 Pro MacBook Pro has been fine with the Studio Display XDR so far with variable refresh turned on.

M4 Max should be a breeze with it.

Dual XDR wake up time with M4M is nearly instant, like 0.5s longer than old ASD. Dual XDR with M4P (both at 60Hz) does take 2s longer, not instant.

Magic Keyboard and Touch ID work fine.

The "best" computer Apple *currently* sells to handle XDR use would be the M3U in no small part because of the extra enconde/decode engines that came on M3U systems.

M3 Ultra is also the only one that can run quad 5k 120hz
