Buying advice

This 36GB/512GB M4 Max Studio suits macOS video, audio and graphics work whose working set fits 36GB and benefits from SDXC, 10GbE and Thunderbolt 5 peripherals. For media-heavy projects, budget for external storage because this exact configuration has a 512GB SSD. Compare a higher-memory 40-core GPU Max configuration if your projects outgrow 36GB, rather than assuming this 32-core GPU model includes those choices. For documents and lighter work, a mini is a more natural starting point.
