If no you should probably have to make video on that, because they are asking for some information that needs privacy

Regardless, it says: Coupon "maxtech10" does not exist!

[@j.patricklangley304]

The Mac mini is impressive, most impressive

[@jimgutierrez9779]

I really want a m2pro Mac mini

[@jimgutierrez9779]

I want a m2pro Mac mini!!!

[@slash196]

I REALLY appreciate you running music production benchmarks. It's a key use case for Macs specifically but very few reviewers test audio at all, and when they do it's some sort of encoding test as opposed to DAW performance which is what actually, you know, matters.

[@marlon_guan]

I’m honestly so thankful for this channel, these guys did every possible comparison for all kind of buying situations. really impressive

[@katseverino1085]

agree. I made my buying decisions based on their comparison reviews of M1 vs M2

[@pinoygauta]

Amen.

[@indigocotton4187]

I just couldn’t wait for the mini pro anymore so went with the Studio. Killer machine no regrets.

[@ghost-user559]

Which model did you go for?

[@PolluxChung]

Did the same in last April and no regrets either.

[@ghost-user559]

@@PolluxChung base or Ultra?

[@danielguimaraes5413]

And you’re gonna have a very powerful computer for years, I’d have no regrets either

[@tenparkdrive]

Same for me, came from a pro background got an Ultra and couldn’t be happier

[@sfperalta]

Be careful about those predictions: Apple released the Mac Studio M2 Max at WWDC just a few weeks ago. The Mini would require $700 in upgrades just to get to rough parity with the baseline Studio, which would still have 11 more GPU cores than the upgraded Mini. I'm guessing those benchmark results come out a little different now, with the Studio being the more powerful CPU/GPU combination overall. It would be fun to see those same tests again with the M2 Pro vs M2 Max configurations.

[@arpankar6609]

Design wise I'll certainly prefer Mac studio but I'm completely blown away by the performance of Mac mini M2, it's just awesome!!

[@savedfaves]

M2 Pro

[@Harsh-xo9jr]

Always loved your side by side comparisons and how much detail you put into them. Never seen any other KZbin channel go into so much depth.

[@simonogden8820]

The info you guys put out especially about the SSD situation is so helpful and I'm sure will help many people to avoid getting the wrong machine for them, thanks!

[@jacoboblandonpineda]

I must say, you cover a lot of bases that many standard reviewers (on here, at least) leave aside or only address briefly. Your coverage is very throrough and the effort placed is immediately noticeable and appreciated. It gives us who may be interested lots more to consider and be able to make an informed choice. Thank you for all the time you invest into this!!

[@OksanaYermolova]

I agree that the performance of these machines is seriously impressive, and the fact that the Mac Mini can match or exceed the Mac Studio is astounding. This video was great! It never ceases to amaze me how much Apple sometimes fails to give us in terms of information to increase their sales. I really appreciate your comprehensive analysis and benchmark testing, as well as the real-world comparisons of these two products. It has helped me to make an informed decision about my upcoming purchase. Thanks guys

[@vik_adrikov]

Amazing breakdown of how the Mac mini and the Mac Studio compare. Just goes to show the power of M2 Pro Chip. Great video!

[@joriammartinez322]

I personally love the black port layout and the sleek design of the Mac Mini. Plus the low price is hard to beat

[@laliwar]

Congrats on the 1M sub! Been following you since the old days where you talk about camera gears!

[@MelvsAmores]

Choosing the Mac Studio over the M2 Mac Mini is a wiser decision if you plan on going for the fully speced M2 Mac Mini.

[@poojalive14]

The photo rendering performance is incredible but what if you need a devise for both photoshop and video editing? 🤔

[@Cascdy]

Really appreciate the in-depth testing

[@edwardwooten]

Historically, Mac purchasers want as much power as possible. I think that is why Macs end up lasting much longer than other computers. We purchase power we do not need but software will eventually catch up with us

[@nhf]

so what do you recommend more for someone who makes youtube and needs editing, but not in 4K?

[@njgreen]

I can’t wait to win this competition 😆 thanks for the opportunity!

[@laurenthenry]

Wish to get one of these beast for my production workflow🤞 Keep up the awesome work guys. Cheers from France 🇫🇷

[@carlsotekunthidacarlsote972]

Great video. Considering an upgrade and this was helpful.

[@tiagosilvaa8]

Really helpful Max! Thanks a lot

[@ftab]

I'm impressed they keep finding ways to crank up the web browser performance

[@ledooni]

What are you talking about in the Logic section? Higher clocks resulting in less stability and that is supposed to lower the score? I don‘t know much about MacOS internally, but I have been overclocking CPUs on Windows for many years now and there is no such thing as lower scores because of less stability. It‘s either stable at higher clocks and you get better results or it crashes when it‘s unstable. Please explain further when you make such statements.

[@alyssajugmohunsingh1352]

Thank you for this in-depth review because you won’t find that anywhere else. Truly you guys are a blessing to humanity in this regard

[@baguswira182]

Considering to take the mac mini m2 pro. Thank you for a really in depth review!

[@bobdziedzic3814]

Thank you for all your information on Apple products I am so confused. I am trying to make up my mind and what is a better system to upgrade to

[@alexanderkussatz143]

You guys are awesome. For your expertise, passion and such kind things like the give aways. Thank you

[@Fuse_Craft_Creations]

I've been trying to decide between the two, thanks this was very helpful.

[@Hannan_]

Great content! Really like your in-depth testing and thoughts throughout this entire series. Really enjoying them.

[@alecco5295]

i love this review.. my mac mini 2012 needs some upgrade

[@geneaso]

Awesome devices. Glad you have this comparisson

[@IveLearnedSomeThings]

Their mini computers are getting pretty impressive.

[@AliasKalypso]

MacMini is really an awesome machine. And the price is competitive. ARM is the future! But MB Pro is of course the non plus ultra, just the best machine. I'm still saving to get one someday.

[@xCMxBigBuddha]

Watching this I think the max mini is the way to go for me right now. Great video!

[@VitoCagnazzi]

Thanks man! This comparison is so useful!❤

[@vovazhukovsky5583]

Great job guys! Love your videos!!

[@andreismoler]

Next level stuff! Congrats!

[@devinroxbury6414]

Very cool. This honestly just makes me want an M2 Studio.

[@fugita_]

Hey Max, great to know that the Mini is great for developers. I am a software developer that uses not only XCode, but also NodeJS, ReactJS, NextJS, Docker, Android Studio and so on… In the future could you please test more developer tools? Everyone is focused in video benchmarks, but these machines are also for devs.

[@andreismoler]

Besides the price, I think it's important to state that you can also get $100 discount if you are a student.

[@stuartdarling1620]

I'm using Mac minis for my live keys rig a lot so this is very interesting

[@georgenikolov6763]

I love these new MacBooks. Been a fan since 2020 of the channel. Keep it 🆙

[@MarkV0]

Love your videos. I can’t start my day without some MaxTech. You do an amazing job with your comparisons and help with my buying decisions.

[@jefft3814]

The Mac model that I am waiting for is the Mac Pro with any MX chip. Considering the pace at which Apple is updating the Minis, the iPads and the Macbooks, while the Mac Pro is still sold with an Intel chip inside, I wonder if there is a future for this unit.

[@Cwar_sito]

The way they both fit perfectly one on top of the other is really satisfying haha

[@FilmCameraLens]

Thanks for all comparisons and reviews guys. Great as always

[@lollo08.59]

The Mac studio is such a great device, but that Mac mini is truly impressive too. Awesome video.

[@fabianchaundy5775]

Thanks for these videos!

[@utkarshpratapsingh5537]

I think a base model 14 M1 MBP would suffice for most windows pc users, especially those coming from a 16/512 windows laptop

[@AK1-47]

Very nice and detailed comparison

[@SC36DC]

I think using Ableton may be a better music production "stress tester" than Logic. I honestly don't think the amount of users on Logic outnumber Ableton users.

[@SarvadiDas]

Thank you for this comparison 😊

[@okle6396]

I'm still waiting for a test with the 14" M2 1TB

[@ktanaka6771]

Great video👍 Really good comparison

[@GandolfDE]

greetings from Germany! your videos are always great!

[@brickmier]

What monitor do you use? What alternative to the Mac studio monitor?

[@0626love]

What if they put Max chip in Mini - it would throttle then a ton? 🤔🤔 I guess by the time they introduce 3nm tech, the Studio model could be put into Mini form. :)

[@SandCo]

Great video; you proved the new Mac Mini M2 is no slouch. Its such a great performer for the price. I wonder, can you daisy chain the mac mini’s together to make a render farm? 🧐

[@dianacovaciu5589]

Amazing video! I especially loved the analytical insights, benchmark testing, and in-depth comparisons for both machines since I am in the process of making a decision for my upcoming Mac purchase. Thank you for the video👌

[@andreismoler]

These new mac minis and macbook pros are killer.

[@Patrick-ds1dg]

I actually love that the Mac mini is so small in height and still hold its own compared to the Mac Studio

[@alexcosti9251]

Thank you for the awesome videos!

[@Arseny.Petukhov]

With the price hikes second hand Mac Studio makes much more sense

[@Alex_dlc]

The Mac Studio is just so big. I expected the new Mini to be bigger than before but in glad it’s not.

[@ahmetharmanda2636]

Shortly, I think mac mini is enough on graphic editors, photographers but mac studio is more good about video editing. Thank you for comparison

[@mostafazeinivand]

I haven't won anything anywhere till today. I hope win this beautiful Mac Mini tomorrow. I really need it for my work

[@dennispanlilio3275]

Great review like always! You really are my go to when it comes to Macs. Keep it up!

[@thomastewksbury39]

This just says wait for the m2 mac studio haha

[@etbifurk]

Thanks for doing these exhaustive videos. I miss the time when it was simpler to choose between less models. Why are they making so many different models now? I remember when we had to choose between iMacs and Mac Pros and that was pretty much it

[@lijinping]

I am thinking of buying a m2 pro mini. But will Apple introduce a bigger screen iMac in 2023?

[@dylanzimmer2614]

I think the m2 MacBook Pro base model is the most compelling

[@dujepetricevic3073]

Thanks for this video

[@TheTrueDoctorWho]

I think I'm going to add a mac mini to my setup again. I switched to using windows for everything a while back, but for some projects, especially anything audio related, macs were just much less of a pain to use.

[@Livverlips]

Great stuff! Would love to see the specs of the M1 Ultra studio next to the others too though.

[@DinosLouggos]

Amazing as always

[@Tyler-gv6zf]

I love my M2 mini. So fast and quiet.

[@ahmadafnan3756]

Hope there is M2 ultra for mac studio this year

[@theodoredesmarais4219]

Awesome review !!

[@southavenueproductions1842]

Think its time to finally get a M2 pro and replace my 2012 Mac Pro! :)

[@dhivakark9962]

Pls do make a comparison between 16 256 M2 to 16 256 m1

[@mamag7193]

Good luck everyone. I want to wish health to the content authors and all viewers. you are the best.

[@sycoinsight8793]

Hopefully they do an M2 Mac studio refresh

[@iFrodoFr]

Really good move for Apple with this mini M2 Pro.

[@TobiasGustavsson-mc2sh]

Great comparison!

[@keshavjhunjhunwala8584]

Amazing insight

[@IamSpencerBaird]

Mac Studio is now looking unnecessarily thicc

[@andreismoler]

Do you think that the entry model could hold up for unreal engine use?

[@designraid4416]

I can imagine getting a mac mini in my hand.😆 All i can is daydream 🥳

[@chrisgalea7737]

Ok I like the comparison here for the studio and mini. Was exciting to see the new mini come out along with the pro model . I have my 2014 model i5 base model from then. Haven’t used it in years lol. Thanks for these videos. Helps me a lot.

[@EngineFD223]

Wondering if I should get the M2 pro Mac mini instead of the M2 Pro MacBook Pro for now. Really want to see more comparisons from a photographers point of view.

[@BadBoyBobby85]

I wanted the Mac studio until the Mac mini came out. 10cores on M2 sounds better, and this review video says pretty much the same

[@timothygarcia267]

Always fascinated by the mac minis. Will probably get one soon.

[@mmmcommunity7903]

Either would serve just fine

[@BillyDj]

I truly didn’t expect this at all… I can’t even imagine that the M1 ultra could be beaten by M2 Pro in some test…

[@andremacedo8757]

best to wait for the Mac Studio M2?

[@siddantsharma3681]

is mac mini good for atmos mixing mastering-music??

[@prajwalbandekar3557]

Are we having an exponential progress when it comes to these machines? 👀

[@poltavaweb9379]

The performance of these machines is incredibly impressive, and the fact that the Mac Mini can match or even surpass the Mac Studio is remarkable. This video was amazing! It never fails to astound me how much Apple sometimes fails to give us in terms of information to boost their sales. I am so thankful for your comprehensive analysis and benchmark testing, as well as the real-world comparisons of these two products. It has been instrumental in helping me make an educated decision about my upcoming purchase. Thanks guys for all your hard work!

[@pedroochoa4495]

Interesting comparison!
