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

    Sounds like a bargain.

    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.

          • Shenannigoat on 09/03/2025 - 10:20

            @Ulysses31: Yes. See, they build two hard-ons (could also be more than two but that just adds to the cost and complexity) and then run them into each other.

        That’s what all the small ram folk say

        • Corgsta on 06/03/2025 - 22:39
          +3

          Maybe you’re being sarcastic and I’m not picking it up. But if not I guess you didn’t grow up in the era of 64 kilobytes of RAM. Eg. GEOS Workbench on a C64. Or early PCs with 640KB and 1MB extended RAM that happily ran Windows 3.1.

          That was possible due to efficient use of memory. Software written these days, generally, is bloated and wasteful. It seems to be a fair bit worse for Microsoft than Apple. Even Linux will run a OS and window manager with 1GB RAM. Written by dudes who do it for fun.

            @Corgsta: Bit of both - people say Apple use the RAM more efficiently but others just say “16GB is 16GB”. Was also trying to make a joke about it’s not the size but how you use it…

            You are spot on about wastage of resources in modern computing but I guess it’s a luxury we have these days and computers/software just do a lot more.

      • Bargainer99 on 07/03/2025 - 07:29

        A given piece of data will occupy exactly the same amount of ram in Windows, Linux, or Mac. Compression algorithms will produce exactly the same result on both too.

        There are differences between os's in terms of memory handling and behaviour but they are not material compared to this.

        I fondly remember my c64, but good luck browsing the Web or watching a 4k video with it. A 4k video at 4 bytes per pixel is 33 MB per frame. It would take a c64 many days to load that much data, and would only be able to show about half a single row of pixels at a time, very down sampled.

    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🤪

    • seal the deal on 06/03/2025 - 19:25

      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.

      • kisshell9 on 29/03/2025 - 10:31

        Or you can also get the bypassed version of crossover

    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?

    • p1 ama on 06/03/2025 - 17:03

      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.

    • tempestswitch on 06/03/2025 - 17:19

      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.

      • OzViper on 06/03/2025 - 17:37

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

    would they check the student ID or anything if I purchase via this link and pick it up in-store?

  • congo on 07/03/2025 - 17:12

    For AI workflow, RTX 4090 with 24GB would be better than the base 36GB M4 Max?
    I assume CUDA would be faster.
