BUILD A MAC WORKSTATION ON STEROIDS
-
Both consumers and professionals have never had it better, with more Macs than ever to choose from. The entry-level Mac mini is an excellent machine for everyday computing, whilst the Mac Studio offers more power and performance with productivity in mind.
MINI VS. STUDIO
Apple made an exciting announcement in January 2023, introducing refreshed models of the Mac mini and high-end MacBook Pros. The Mac mini received not only the base M2 chip but also the M2 Pro, a powerful processor designed specifically for professionals. With the introduction of the M2 Pro Mac mini, the question arises: is the Mac Studio still necessary? Are there any advantages to choosing the Mac Studio over the Mac mini? The truth is, both models offer something different, and whilst it's easy to assume that the M2-series machine will reign victorious, there's still power in the Mac Studio - that's before its rumored refresh.
