I mean, no, it’s that it looks a lot like the Pro XDR. If they just dropped the price down it would be far better but the main reason one is buying the studio display is because it looks like the pro XDR, you’re absolutely paying for the aesthetic.

[@HVDynamo]

I remember wanting a threadripper so bad when they came out. But I convinced myself I didn't need to upgrade from my 4770k just yet and the single core performance difference wasn't enough to make it worth it yet.

But then, I would prefer getting a battery replacement or buying a new mini😂😂😂

Oh wait, minus the MacBook Pro, I already have all of that, just the previous year model of the iPad and iPhone. I grabbed the M1 iPad Pro just after the M2 came out, got $400 off of that. Totaling it all up, $2800, $1700, $1300, $800, $550, $300, $250, $150, $100. $7950 before any sales tax, but also not counting any sales. Got my iPad for $1300, Apple Watch Ultra for $740, AirPods Max for $430, AirPods Pro for $200, Homepods I'd buy openbox/refurbished for around $200 ish (got the first gen for that much), then HomePod Mini for around $90. $740 saved from sales. MacBook could likely be found with a $300 or $400 discount to save even more. Just have to keep an eye out for the prices at different retailers instead of buying from Apple directly.

I have a 13 mini & I absolutely love it, mostly bb/c I have tiny hands. I find it really interesting how many people LOVE the form factor of the iPhone minis nowadays, but not many people liked them when they were still new. The fact Apple didn't make a 14 mini but went for the 14 plus b/c of low mini sales (at the time) shows this.

I think this is my favorite Mac Address video. Love the format, seeing other people's perspective and choices based on use case rather than price, and guessing the price. Whenever I talk to anyone about Apple products that seems to be the go to argument for dismissing the products as an option. Seeing everyone overestimating the price and Dan's comparison to his Threadripper system shows how comparable the prices are to similar options. Great Video. Always love seeing Mac Address in my feed.

[@mbvglider]

It's funny indeed that everyone thinks Apple products are ridiculously overpriced, and then you look at new performance laptops being released, with 4080 and 4090 laptops from MSI, Alienware, and Razer, all retailing for over $3k, and none of them actually give anywhere near full performance on battery.

First of all, fantastic video! I loved the whole setup and the range of people you got to play the game. I'd love to see a followup where they use their dream setup for a while to see if they like it. Anothony was great as always, very practical and got a setup that while not inexpensive was very good value (as far as Apple goes). I'm now convinced that Dan needs to be in every video. His humor and insight is exactly the kind of thing I love to watch. What I'd really love is to see him talking about what he would use for a professional audio setup, what his process is like, and other educational stuff in the audio space. Nicole strikes me as a pretty well informed Apple enjoyer, she also got a pretty sensible setup, and her presence on screen was very nice. Dennis' purchasing decision, much like the rest of his on screen personality, is silly. Finally, Jonathan still seems to have the critical fanboy perspective nailed down, and I think that both his setup and reaction to the price showed that pretty well. Great work to the MA team, keep it up!

[@Marngel]

Great video once again! Very interesting to see how people would pick their own Apple ecosystem. If I were to create an ecosystem out of Apple’s current lineup, I’d get: M1 MacBook Air (16 GB ram and 1 TB storage) iPad mini 6 (256 GB) w/ Apple Pencil 2 iPhone 13 mini (256 GB) AirPods Pro Apple Watch series 8 Total cost (excluding tax): $3,784 Ngl, that’s more expensive than I expected, but the extra cost is largely due to the higher storage configurations. It really goes to show just how expensive Apple’s storage upgrades are.

About a year ago I made my ultimate Mac setup. I have my Mac mini hooked to a television on a tv stand oriented vertically. And I love it! It's a 52" inches high. So I can have an 8.5x11 page at 200% at the bottom to work on. And have a video running at the top without my work overlapping on that window. So convenient to sit in my chair with my feet up. (And my feet aren't in front of tthe screen either.) I then use Menuwhere so I don't have to go all the way to the top to hit a menu option.

[@CallMeVidd]

The biggest reason I went with an iPad pro instead of a mini as an artist is the 120hz Cause 60 is VERY noticable while drawing, on 120 it almost feels like drawing on paper

[@Piketom1]

I'm with Anthony. It actually makes sense to have both the laptop and the iPad pro with magic keyboard. My current Apple setup is the M1 Pro 16" MacBook pro, Studio display and 12.9" iPad pro. I might feel differently if I had gone with the 14" MacBook pro because it would be much closer in size to the iPad. It is really nice to have both Mac OS and iPad OS. I also have the iPhone 13 Pro Max, pair of homepod Minis and Apple TV in my living room to link my TV to the rest of the setup.

I remember first using an iMac in my 5th grade classroom, the school got a grant and our class got 5 of them. The trackpad was so interesting and fun to me, coming from my family's Windows XP desktop. They must have been the slim unibody iMacs, the generation before the Retina displays. I have never owned or used a desktop Mac since then, but I have always wondered about one for basically everything a computer can do except for gaming. If I didn't play games on my PC, I would probably have one right now. I guess if I had to choose, I might get a Mac Mini M2 Pro for desktop and an iPad Air M1 for travel. If the iMac had M2 I'd get that instead of Mac Mini. I love the form factor of the iPad Mini, but I don't want to drop MBP money for desktop performance and portable. Apple TV 4K for sure, Apple Pencil for sure, Homepod Mini or regular gen 2 maybe? I love the look but hate the price of the Airpods Max. If I'm allowed to bring in my own keyboard, display, and iPhone 12 that I already own, my total is $2,787.44 USD. I kinda love it tbh...

Anthony was right about me, incremental total immersion in the apple world. I only upgrade every 5 years or so. In my experience Apple devices are long lasting, long supported and work well together. It’s a far from perfect world, but it works for me.

I like how at 18:48 Anthony describes exactly my experience of migrating to the Apple ecosystem over the years.

[@ShyFox]

I can compare myself with Anthony. I bought my first ever iPhone the SE Gen1 when my 2nd Samsung died due to falling on the table and getting completely destroyed. After the SE I upgraded to the Xr and landed on the 13 mini. Recently I also bought a MacBook Air because it works so well with the iPhone, got myself a Apple Watch, the iPad Air with pencil and the 3rd gen AirPods since my low budget headphones where getting more and more confused by the amount of devices are connecting to it and stopped every playback after a few seconds.

iMac 27" 5K has always been the sweet spot for me in terms of capability, form factor and price. The screen needs to be 5k or nothing, in my view. 4K doesn't do it. But, in its absence, the fact that a base Studio and Studio Display combo weigh in at £3,500, no longer in my price bracket. Mini Pro probably closer in terms of keeping the cost down, but £1500 for that Studio Display is insane! Got my eye on the Samsung Viewfinity S9 when (IF!) it ever comes out - not confident it's going to cost any less!

[@jimi272]

you can buy a studio and keep the iMac screen. Luke made a video about it and how to do it, its awesome! i will do it too, considering that there's no other way to get a good payable 5k display... or in my case, buy both an old iMac 5k and the display power unit...

[@jasondailey9402]

I had the same struggle and wound up with the iMac for the looks. I don’t regret me choosing it over a faster machine, but I do regret Apple not releasing a model with more power! Also they missed out on a MacBook Air sale by not color matching them to the iMac…

It would be fun to see this idea return every so often with other LMG employees

[@hidazip]

I've been a MacBook Pro user longer than I've been a PC gamer, but I never really bothered about the whole Apple ecosystem thing. It all started with the M1 iPad Pro. Just as Emily said, once you add one more Apple device, you just go full Apple in no time. I still use my custom desktop PC for gaming.

[@MiracleWinchester]

I love you for choosing that yellow iMac. The video when you got that before was the one that got me to subscribe.

One of my favourite MA videos to date :)

"Premiere's not good on anything" I quite literally laughed out loud. You sir, get a like.

[@XeZrunner]

Very true though, even After Effects runs smoother than Premiere in most cases on my Windows desktop.

At least regarding the iPhone, I would take an early pre-order for the iPhone 15 Pro since I just want to move on to USB-C already.

[@easysneezy]

Has it been confirmed that it will use usbc?

[@Neoxon619]

@@easysneezy An image of the actual phone has leaked, & it’ll feature USB-C.

[@BMXaster]

​@@easysneezy Depends on how official you want it. Technically no, it hasn't. But dammit, they better finally switch. Been holding on to my current phone for 2 additional year now, each time in the hope that they will finally make an iPhone with goddam USB-C. Nothing about Apple makes me hate them more than their stupid Lightning BS connector.

[@reggievonramstein]

@@BMXaster I bought this generation because they still have the lightning connector. I don’t want a mix though one or the other for all.

[@GrauesKatzi]

I would actually go with an iPad Pro 11“ with Magic Keyboard, Apple Pencil and Studio Display because I just don‘t need a ‚real‘ computer anymore… I would also try the Apple Watch SE 40mm! And: I love my iPhone 12 mini 🥰 btw nice video 😊
