AIM5 Ultra Mac Studio’s value for video creators
After a week with the M5 Ultra Mac Studio, a video creator calls it the most powerful computer they've ever used—but argues its improvements now target local AI rather than their video workflow.
TLDR
A video creator says the M5 Ultra Mac Studio is a great computer, but almost completely unnecessary for creators like them who aren't doing 3D work. They say they can't make Final Cut do anything with 256GB of unified memory that it couldn't do with 128GB, and point to Apple's emphasis on local AI apps and use cases. Their verdict after a week: the machine is exceptionally powerful, but similar video creators don't need to spend the $10K-plus this Mac costs.
