    Can this be used to watch YouTube and some light gaming?

    Sounds like a bargain.

      Well no it doesn’t have a screen.

        What if we assume he has a screen? 😅

    iPad Air is M3

    The maxed out M4 Ultra Mac Studio has a 32-core CPU, 80-core GPU, 32-core Neural Engine, 512GB RAM, and 16TB SSD. Do you think it would be good enough to watch YouTube?

      There are no M4 Ultra Mac Studio.

        Oh yeah, that's M3 Ultra, sorry.

      That comes to AOC special price of only $19,233.50. Thank you very much!! 💰💰💰💰

    Would this be suitable for my home hadron collider?

      Hey that's almost my name.

      • hardoncollider? I just met her!

        And then they built the hard-on collider.

  • This or an RTX 5080 from MSY for $2800 with a $1500 Bill Gates computer attached to it?

      Why not wait for the 9070xt?

    36 GB base RAM in 2025 what a joke 😂😂…..

    • +1

      Shared RAM with the GPU too.

    • +2

      Efficient memory management and compression in 2025 what a joke 🤣😂

  • +3

    Any ram upgrade requires:
    1. 16-core CPU, 40-core GPU upgrade +$388.30

    1. then the 48GB unified memory for +#259.60
      (and further $258.50 for 64GB)

    that's is a $647.90 daylight robbery for the first step getting +12GB ram

    This thing better run Crysis in full Ultra details🤪

    • It will run Crysis, but you will have to pay $500 USD for a lifetime CrossOver license so you can run it on Apple Silicon.

  • +1

    The real question is how many of these do I need to run 72B LLM?

    • +3

      It depends on the parameter types.

      If you max ultra out the RAM on the M3 you can run DeepSeek R1 according El Reg.

  • Thanks op ordered 4 :)

      M4x4 for you my friend

    I am tempted to try one of these for bulk image processing in Lightroom.

    My relatively current AMD7600X and GTX4070 really bogs down once you start developing images in Lightroom.. particularly using AI masks.

    Not sure something like this is that much of a step up in performance? Or does Lightroom just suck regardless of OS?

    • +2

      Lightroom or Lightroom Classic?

      Lightroom Classic performance, in general, just sucks. However, it does feel a bit snappier on ARM, so you might have a better experience on something like this.

      That said, purely for Lightroom, this won't net you much more than an M4 Mac Mini aside from faster exports and building previews.

    • +4

      90% of my work is based in Lightroom Classic. I shoot weddings so have to deal with thousands of photos per job.

      My base model Mac Mini M4 was a breeze to import, build previews and export. Using AI to remove stuff was good too.
      I've always been a Windows person but I got the Mini to test if I could swap to MacOS.

      I compared the M4 Mini vs my mates M1 Max and his was much faster in exports, previews, masking and denoise AI.
      I was always going to get the M4 Max since I enjoyed the Mini so much so I'm sure it'll be a solid machine.

        Thanks for the input. That is my use case too.. Lightroom classic editing weddings and commercials jobs.

    • Update your motherboards BIOS and put a 9950X in there.

    No deal, normal price for AOC

    512gb storage in 2025 is more criminal then Zalensky money laundering!
