What I did with my Mac mini was get an OWC Thunderbolt enclosure and drop a 4TB WD Black NVME in it. Spent about $350 which was way cheaper than adding storage with Apple's prices.

Wow that beefy of a computer should come with a 2TB SSD! At least 1TB base.
Great deal for the rest of the machine though!

A 14" MacBook Pro with the same M4 Max (and 1TB storage, minimum storage for the MBP with this chip) goes for $3,200 at Apple, just for reference.

The MBP has the screen, keyboard, trackpad, and portability (edit- and 512GB of additional storage), but this Studio gives you a few extra ports (including USB-A and 10Gb Ethernet) and is almost half the price.

Switching to a MacBook after being a lifelong windows user makes me realize how ridiculous some of these posters sound.

There's a reason they can charge so much and there's a reason people keep buying them, year after year. They're incredible devices. I don't ever hear the fan go off, it lasts forever, it's reliable, and it's snappy as hell. The keyboard is amazing and the sound and screen quality is top notch. Meanwhile, every subsequent update on my windows machine makes it a tad slower every single time. Every IT administrator at my job uses a MacBook to manage our enterprise environment.

No, I can't play games on it, but I have a PC, steam deck, switch, series x and a quest 3 to get my fix, when I have time.

It depends on what games you play. There are >20,000 games on Steam that work on macOS: https://store.steampowered.com/macos

Plus, there are ways to run many more games through Crossover or similar tools.

Plenty of benchmark videos here: https://www.youtube.com/@Andytizer

I wouldn't buy a Mac for gaming, but a Mac like this M4 Max Studio would be able to handle tons of games.

I would not buy this machine for that for one specific reason: only 512gb ssd. Other specs are great for 4k videos and color grading.

The ultra version is super slick if you can get it. Too bad they don't ship.
Yeah. I already got an H200 server. But still tempted to get the M4 Ultra. Such an efficient GenAI powerhouse on your desktop!
