Of course, both computers can drive the new Studio 5K Display, and other additional monitors.

Max, the issue for many VFX and editing professionals is more likely to be a choice between the M1 Max Macbook Pro or M1 Max Studio. Unlike the iMac Pro, the MacBook Pro was upgraded to an M1 Max chip along with a lot of other desirable upgrades like the new keyboard, audio, and screen. The interesting question with the Studio M1 Max is to compare it to the M1 MacBook Pro. Certainly, in our tech lab, it has to be the quietest computer in the whole place. The new Studio is, near as damn it, silent.

The new Studio is similar to two Mac Mini’s sitting on top of each other. What you gain in modularity, you do lose in desk space. Many people have pointed to the Studio as the logical step for the iMac Pro, a sort of modular deconstructed iMac Pro – providing as it does, a separate computer from the new 5K Studio monitor.

It was big enough to edit on, both in terms of its spec and the larger 27″ screen but the last update was Aug 2020 and there was never an M1 version of the iMac Pro. But with the advent of the Mac Studio machines, Apple has discontinued the iMac Pro. For a VFX student or producer who works from a desk – the M1 iMac is a winner. The footprint is small, as it seems to magically be only as big as a normal monitor and 10 times as pretty to look at. We bought one and it is smart, sharp and looks great. But this is not an iMac Pro, but just the regular iMac. If you want an iMac with an M1 chip, the current entry-level iMac in all its various colors, is a winning machine. As much as one might fancy a Mac with an M1 Ultra chip, the M1 Max Studio is really worth considering, but here the story is more complex. Unless you have a killer trust fund ($$) or you bought Bitcoin at $12, – if you want the fastest thing going, you may want to wait for the Mac Pro which at this point one can only guess will set records for speed and performance. Apple tipped its hat to the fact that the Mac Pro would also move to the M1 Chip. The problem is we already know there is a faster Mac coming. It has the latest (double) Ultra chip which screams fast in every metric. If you are after just insane speed at any price – the Ultra is the fastest Mac ever made.
But if we assume you are in the business of wanting a Mac, who does the Studio suit? We explore the Mac Studio from the point of view of effects editing and compare it to the MacBook Pro. They are not for everyone, some people will always want a PC, not least of which due to the desire to run an NVIDIA card, which is still sadly a long way off any Mac roadmap it seems. It comes in two versions the M1 Max and the M1 Ultra. Apple has released a new model of Mac computers, the Studio.
