  • Fully loaded Mac Studio costs just $7999, more powerful than similarly priced Mac Pro

    Okay Einstein.  Price an Intel-equivalent and get back to us.

    This is the problem with trolls like you.  You do zero research on the competition yet pretend you know what you're talking about.
    It's a joke, tight pants.
    Call it what you want but comments like indie's aren't worth spit.

    As for the fully loaded Studio for $7999, that's actually an amazing price for what you're getting. Sflocal is correct, try and build a desktop using Intel, AMD or ARM and you'll have to spend several times this amount. Try and build one that fits into 219 cubic inches and you'll never do it. The cooling system would take twice that amount of space and it still wouldn't be able to cool an over-clocked CPU. It also wouldn't be able to process anything at the speed of the M1 Ultra. Professionals don't have to wait for a Mac Pro replacement, it's already here. Just add external storage arrays (a nice NVMe RAID over Thunderbolt 3) and a 10Gb network switch with access to your servers and you won't have a second to nap because almost everything is happening real time.
    It's still very expensive for a lot of people.
    It's not intended for most people. Not even remotely.
    Exactly. It has 10Gb ethernet and it has the word "Studio" in its name. That's where it's destined.

  • Adobe adds native M1 support for Premiere Pro, Media Encoder, Character Animator

    Adobe's Speech to Text feature can decrease the time it takes to transcribe and caption a video by 75% on average

    A percentage accuracy would have been more useful.

    Don't include a GPU by default, so that we can just install our own and use it for gaming.
    Now, as it has always been, drivers would be the issue. Moving forward, there's talk that Apple may be walking away from external GPUs supplied by traditional vendors in favour of their own silicon. We live in interesting times.

    Come on Apple, we need a non-overpriced MacProMini with Desktop level components, for normal people. It'll be a hit with the gaming crowd, developers and be a good general purpose computer.

    Room for, say, 3 PCI cards, and a couple of NVMe sticks in a chassis a quarter of the volume of the current Mac Pro would be welcome. With so many components shrinking, it's time to shed some size from the traditional tower.
