With the fast Apple Mac Studio (2025) M4 Max (14 core CPU/32 core GPU) 36GB/512GB, you can change your workplace into a creative studio. Thanks to the powerful M4 Max chip and 36GB RAM, you can do all your graphic tasks smoothly. For example, photo editing in Adobe Photoshop, music production in Logic Pro, app development in Xcode, video editing in Final Cut Pro, or even 3D design in Shapr3D. In addition, you can easily perform AI tasks thanks to the fast Neural Engine. The Mac Studio takes up little space on your desk or table thanks to the compact size. That way, you have enough space for all your external accessories that you can easily connect to this Apple desktop. The Mac Studio has 4 Thunderbolt 5 ports, 2 USB-A ports, 2 USB-C ports, 1 HDMI port, a single 10GB Ethernet connection, and a memory card reader. The USB-C ports now support Thunderbolt 5, so you can transfer data with speeds up to 120GB/s. This is 3 times faster than with Thunderbolt 4.

It arrived beautifully packaged, without any plastic or Styrofoam! Just plug it in, turn it on, and before I knew it, I was on my way. I did have to wait another week for Apple to give me a login, though, because I used to have an iPad. On a Tuesday, at 11:17 and 45 seconds, I was supposed to receive a text message. And I did. But even after that, the device kept asking for my iPad password. Anyway, it works now. I use Apple Mac Studio for photo editing, and it's a revelation compared to the Windows machine that ran the same photo program. It has 500GB of SSD storage, and you can't change that later. You don't need to, because with an external hard drive connected, it works perfectly. I haven't encountered anything that disappoints me yet. It has plenty of connections, so it can handle anything.

My Mac mini was already fast enough, but I wanted more connections for displays and storage. The speed is especially noticeable when processing photos with Lightroom. For example, Denoise went from about 35 seconds to 5 seconds. Exporting photos is also much faster.
