New Mac
🕑 Added 2022-04-04 04:48:17 +0000 UTCA huge thanks to the community, I was able to bought a new Mac Studio, it's a huge upgrade from my 2 years old Hackintosh (Non-Apple computer running Apple's macOS).
I purchased a Mac Mini when Apple released it back in 2020, but the performance isn't much better than my Hackintosh, so I returned it, and since then, I have been waiting for Apple to release a new Mac Mini with a better chip. The chip inside the Mac Studio isn't new, it has already been used in MacBooks, but I don't need the mobility, so the new released Mac Studio is perfect for me.
As you might already know, I do all the editings on the Hackintosh, so I will do the editings on the new Mac Studio from now on. I have tested the rendering speed, it's almost the same between Mac Studio and my Windows PC, it doesn't mean I can sell my Windows PC now, because I still need it to do frame interpolations, and Blender performance on Windows is still way better.
The Mac Studio I bought is a base model (M1 Max) with a $200 upgrade for 32 cores GPU, it only has a 512GB SSD, the upgrade on storage is very expensive, so I decided to upgrade by myself using external SSDs. My plan is to buy a faster SSD as a working drive, then a cheaper but larger one as storage drive.
This all wouldn't have been possible without all of your support, so thank you all 😌
Mac Studio:
Windows:
Hackintosh:
The CPU is actually a 9th gen i7, not an i9, and it has two graphics cards, the first one is a RX 560 XT (showing as RX 470), and the second one is a RX 580 I bought later, it was a mining card, dusty, loud, but super super cheap😅
