Mac Studio with M2 Max chip and 32GB of RAM: 12:59 seconds.

MacBook Air with M2 chip and 8GB of RAM: 15:87 seconds.

13” MacBook Pro with M1 chip and 32GB of RAM: 19:25 seconds.

These are the times it took each team to increase the size of this photograph.

Mac Studio with M2 Max chip and 32GB of RAM: 4:33 minutesĪnother test that we have carried out is to choose a photograph of 5,472 x 3,648 pixels and increase the resolution up to 15,000 x 100,00 pixels with the PixelMator Pro super resolution tool, which uses the dedicated AI cores (Neural Engine) of Apple chips.

MacBook Air with M2 chip and 8GB of RAM: 6:32 minutes.

13” MacBook Pro with M1 chip and 32GB of RAM: 8:49 minutes.

To make a more direct comparison and which I think is certainly more worthwhile than the scores that these stress programs release, we have exported the same 6:32 minute 4K video at 60 FPS with Final Cut Pro on 3 different machines with these results : Is the jump from M1 Max to M2 Max so noticeable? I doubt it. The results that Geekbench, 3DMark or Cinebench throw at us make it quite clear how much improvement M2 Max has compared to other Apple chips. Keep in mind that this is the base Mac Studio, the cheaper and possibly the more worthwhile of the two versions.

To understand it better, I want you to see the results of the synthetic tests that we have carried out compared to the previous version and other professional Apple teams that we have analyzed at.

#PIXELMATOR PRO M1 UPGRADE#

Let’s get this band-aid out of the way: the performance of the M2 Max chip is better than the M1 Max as only an upgrade can do. Still, I was expecting a much bigger performance jump that seems to be in store for the M2 Ultra. The good news is that the performance is indeed typical of a computer for professionals and that it has exceeded my expectations. Surely you have skipped all the previous text and have come directly to know the performance of the M2 Max chip. Performance: M2 Max performs perfectly with heavy tasks, but… Yes, it is one of the “Apple rates”, if you want the top-of-the-range performance of Apple’s M2 chips you have to jump through the hoops of soldered and non-upgradable memories.

It is the main disadvantage of Mac Studio compared to a PC where you can choose the features and update them whenever you want. Being a team for professionals, how is it possible that it does not have the option to open it and update it.īoth the RAM and the SSD storage are soldered on the board and the upgrade prices for these memories at Apple are not exactly cheap.įor expansion, there is a Mac Pro, but only through PCIe cards that, technically, would accept cards to expand storage with NVMe SSD drives. The elephant in the room is the same as last year and one of the biggest complaints about this computer.

With Bluetooth 5.2 we do not notice a drastic change in transfers or connectivity, but it is a version to be exploited in the future.Ĭoming from laptops like the 13-inch MacBook Air or MacBook Pro with only 2 USB-C ports, having 6 ports at your disposal is a blessing and this is something that professionals can exploit not only with peripherals, especially with products like External hard drives. If you have a router with Wi-Fi 6E, which we recommend if you already have a 1 Gigabit fiber optic connection, you’ll notice the speed immediately. Where we do see and notice changes is in wireless connectivity. In essence the design has not changed compared to last year’s Mac Studio, the first generation, we should not expect a change for future versions either.

On the front we have an SD card reader, two USB-C ports that with the M2 Max are USB 4, but with the M2 Ultra chip they are Thunderbolt 4. This Mac Studio has 4 USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 on the back, a 10 Gigabit Ethernet port, 2 USB 4 ports, an HDMI 2.0 port and a headphone or speaker jack. It is a powerful work tool with all the necessary connections. It is an extremely powerful computer in that it occupies 3 Mac mini one on top of the other. You don’t have to be an Apple user, nor a fan of the brand, to recognize that the design of the Mac Studio is quite good. 5 Conclusion: it’s good, nice and yes, cheap Review of Mac Studio with M2 Max: Design and connectivity: More ports, more happiness
