With the update to the Mac Pro, the entire lineup runs on Apple silicon. Will anyone miss the Intel days? Is anyone planning on getting the new 15" MacBook Air or the Mac Studio?

See how I didn't mention the Mac Pro. I have my reasons.

I will absolutely not miss the Intel days. The last several years have been abysmal. Having to follow along with Intel’s roadmap actually made some product releases objectively worse than their predecessors. I was so disgusted with the 2017 series of MacBook Pros I was convinced I’d never buy another Apple desktop or laptop. The move to Apple Silicon fixed that. I’ve since picked up a new 16” MacBook Pro and the Mac Studio.

Now we just need them to cleanup MacOS itself. Having been daily driving the Sonoma beta, it looks like they’re on a good path on that front as well.

I’m so interest in the Mac Studio and was wanting to purchase one for video editing. How do you like it so far? Is it the new one announced at WWDC23?

I picked up the first generation with the M1 Max. As much as I would've liked the Ultra, for geek cred, I couldn't justify it for what I do.

Fantastic machine. Runs quiet and cool. Tackles everything I throw at it without issue. While I'm no pro I spend quite a bit of time in Final Cut and not having to hear jet-plane like fans all the time almost justifies the cost by itself.

They only downside in my opinion is the loss of Boot Camp but I never really used it after the first year or two after the transition to intel.
