I have M2 Ultra Mac Studio. One question. After update Sonoma 14.4, can you play any game like Re4, Deasth Staanding , etc.. everytime play game, Mac crash and then reboot again. I just downgrade and then every game play well. What about ur M2 Ultra? Please let me know Bty, Thanks for sharing great video!!
thanks!! I honestly haven't done too much gaming on my Mac, if anything there's probably a bug going on with the new "game mode" apple introduced last WWDC. Hopefully its just a software bug because I can't see why the games wouldn't run
I have Death Stranding and RE the Village on my M2 Ultra. Smooth play and no crashes so far. Getting around 60 FPS in X-Plane 12 with settings at max. Sonoma 14.4.
This was a great video and now you have me rethinking my next purchase. I was going to get one of the new MBPs but I do graphic and web design, so I'm thinking that this is what I need and I'll just keep using my M1 MBP for portability. Also, I love how you have an external drive for each facet of your business. Love that so much!
Thanks for sharing! Keeping the M1 MBP for its portability and going for something more specialized for your design work seems like a solid plan. And yeah, organizing with external drives for different parts of your business is a game-changer for sure. Hope it all works out smoothly for you!
I got a Mac mini M1 and I forget I have a PC under my desk as well. I mostly use for audio production on a hobbyist level but nothing like a movie production… yet. I recently got Death Stranding on it to test its gaming capabilities, a bit lacking but not bad as well! It’s enough to distract while I take a break from audio mixing. I’ve kept my eyes on the M2 Mac mini Pro with maxed out RAM, but it touches pretty damn close to the base M2 Mac Studio. Nonetheless, I’m super stoked for an M4 update!!
the Mac mini is beast!! But yeah the M4 version of the mini and studio are gonna be huge upgrades I think... gonna try and hold strong to not upgrade whenever it comes lol
Excelent quality, thumbs up! I think performance for things like rendering 3D graphics in blender is never enough, the less it takes time to complete rendering one frame the better...i think people would just pay "render farm" to render real cgi cartoon anyway.
I think I ordered it after 10 July the Max together with a 27 -inch Asus Proart now I have an IMAC from 2019 (6 core i5 Coffee Lake) for the ultra I don't have enough money. Peace
One of the use case of Mac Studio is for an AI engineer like me to do a lot of proof of concept work on large language models. Since Mac GPU and CPU share the same memory, I can use 196G studio to inference Llama 3 large model by just spending 8-9k instead of 40k to buy expensive nVidia workstation cards.

Liked your setup clean and white
Thanks!
SUPER video review. Thanks
Appreciate it!!

I have the same unit and it has waaaay more power than I'll ever need.
Definitely too much! What are you doing with your Ultra?
@@ConorButkovic I’m too embarrassed to say. Just things an iMac could easily do. I’m a victim of Apple marketing. 🤫
@@FOBob-sr1fd nothing wrong with enjoying tech and computer power 👌🏻(I’ve been a victim as well lol)
Hi Conor, thanks you for this amazing video review. Just wanted to ask if is it good enough for 3d animations & simulations??
i wonder if is able to handle Adobe After Effects with 4k videos🤔
It handles 8k video so I don't see why not
Nice video man
Appreciate it!

Thank you I appreciate that! That’s a fair point, hopefully one day it becomes more reasonable to do on our machines
Is the screen resolution good enough?
if you sit close enough you can see the pixels because it is a TV but other than that the LGC2 is great display
How do you afford all this😮
Connor I was wondering what desk chair do you use? Good video btw
Thanks! It’s from a brand called SoHo
Can I ask your setup? (chair, desk, speakers etc) if you have it, it looks amazing and of course great review on Mac studio!
I have a setup tour on the channel!
Your videos are very good and can you tell me which company's monitor is this?❤
Thank you! It’s the LG C2 OLED, link is in the description!
Just upgraded from M1Max to M2Ultra, its so fast for video editing. Rapid in Davinci Resolve
The extra media engines make such a huge impact with video editing
Would be nice if had atleast one DisplayPort, maybe in the next iteration.
I don't think that will ever happen, Apple seems to only want to use USBC/Thunderbolt or HDMI

Nice video
No matter how expensive mac ur using you still need powerful gpu like 4090s for blender. So windows still compulsory
I would hope it is more powerful for something that pulls like 8x the power and is the same size as the entire Mac Studio itself
I agree. Power and space is hardly a deciding factor for people who buy high performance desktop computers

AI is bonkers on M2 Ultra
@@kesslerdupont6023 yeah allow me to run large language models on MaC GpU
Performer apart from 3d rendering and gaming.
Idk I think my black silicon covered m2 pro works fine
Any Apple silicon Mac is crazy fast!
