Apple Mac Studio review: M3 Ultra offers amazing performance, silent operation, and a variety of ports, but no user memory or SSD upgrades, which are expensive
Apple's new Mac Studio doesn't look different on the outside, but there are plenty of performance upgrades under the hood

Great analysis by @MaxWinebach of the Mac Studio with M3 Ultra. At the end of the day, I believe being a great AI PC today has little to do with Apple Intelligence https://creativestrategies.com/ ...

This is Apple's M3 Ultra Mac Studio This unit has 256GB of Unified Memory (which is insane btw) and 4TB of storage, with a 32-core CPU and 80-core GPU. It's insane for LLMs. It's easily the only viable AI workstation on the market. Review: https://creativestrategies.com/ ... [ima…

The 13-inch M4 MacBook Air is one of the best laptops out there right now. It's the perfect laptop for me and most people (as long as you're not a Windows user). My latest for @Pocketlint is live. https://www.pocket-lint.com/ ...

The main thing stopping me from getting a M4 Air is the reduced screen quality compared to the Macbook Pro Refresh rate: Air: 60Hz Pro: 120Hz Resolution: Air: 2880 x 1864 224 ppi Pro: 3456 x 2234, 254ppi Brightness: 600 vs 1000 nits HDR Lots of good stuff lost here :(
