The Max Studio is high performance machine now and it has a major upgrades in terms of processor ,memory and performance etc. But the costly pricing of Mac Studio is causing concern among the Apple users, specially when the Max Mini is available in affordable price.
If you are also planning to upgrade to Mac Studio or thinking to buy a mac Mini or Mac Studio then we have done some comparison
for you so that you can make decision on better understanding. Please check
these:
Comparison of Speed:
As per different test results Mac Studio is more powerful then Mini as the Ultra processor in the Mac Studio is several times the one in the M1 Mac mini in both speed and capabilities, there is no comparison.
But in the end it
depends on your usage while choosing one among these all. M1 Mac Mini is more than
sufficient for an intermediate to light power user but if you are in designing
animation, rendering etc. then Mac studio will be more suited call for you.
Performance
It is surprising to know that as per some test comparing report
done by independent users, the Mini M1 with the Studio. It showed that the Mac Min M1 very close to
the base Studio version so the Studio may not be required for many users.
Connectivity Options :
M1 Mac Mini vs
Mac Studio , in Mac Studio from the connectivity perspective few things are noticeably better.
Mac
Studio Max have 4 x Thunderbolt 4 / USB 4 ports, 2 x USB
A ports. 1 x HDMI port, 10gb ethernet port, (Front) 2 x USBc ports, (Front) 1 x
SD card slot. (total 11 ports with 8 USB ports)
However You can always add a TB hub later
for more ports to a Mini if needed but If you are planning to use Mac for
longer time then defiantly the Mac studio should be on card as Mac studio will
provide some flexible connectivity future expansion.
Conclusion :
For most of the user who already
have Mac Mini may not find much change if they upgrade to Mac Studio max (base
version) in terms of performance. However the Ultra version of Mac Studio is hightly upgraded then the Mini,
but you will have to pay too much for that.
From a pole done on reddit many
users find that sticking to Mac Mini for now is better option, so if you really
don’t work for high end requirements of PC then for now you may go for the mac
Mini and wait for better price option of Mac Studio in future. Mac Studio ultra is only recommended if you are into animation designing etc.
