Are the M1 Max Mac Studio vs M1 Max MacBook Pro the same? In this ongoing review of the base model M1 Max Mac Studio I bring you behind the scenes with the 14-inch M1 Max MacBook Pro and discuss how similar these two devices are when it comes to performance in my use case with video editing and Blender as an example. When it comes to making that buying decision, this really does come down to whether portability is important because the performance is so close.
Apple silicon is really exciting, hands down, but we’re still waiting on continued optimization when it comes to software being able to use this hardware.
