My M5 Max Studio setup
I recently upgraded from an M1 MBP. Currently using for 6k multicam editing and raw color grading on Final Cut. Only running a USB 3.2 Samsung T9 SSD at the moment, but I plan to upgrade to a dedicated NVMe in a Thunderbolt 5 enclosure soon. If anyone has good recommendations for TB4 or TB5 enclosures I would love to hear.

Is this AI generated?

It certainly gives that vibe doesn’t it, I am on the fence as to whether it is or not. OP, give us a photo of it that looks slightly less glammed up? Idk maybe move some stuff around? 😂 what a time to be alive

Nah bros just out here building movie sets. Impeccable job, awesome setup, thank you for not telling me to go to hell ❤️❤️
The placement of the Vespa, how perfectly the ds fits on the wall, all of it, just seemed too perfectly laid out whilst also being chaotic, if that makes sense? Turns out it really is, so cool

It does not look like Ai, but at first I thought it was a cg render out of Blender.
The Color Grading looks great tho.
Deftones White Pony. Fuji Camera Rig. The One Ring. A Mac Studio.
Perfection.

Just looks too clean, maybe good colorgrading.

It’s just the way that it looks so chaotic but so organised at the same time. And there’s this sort of… dustiness over everything that also looks charming? And then finally some items just don’t look to be in a place that’s logical (e.g., the tv, some of the trinkets).
To be clear, it might not be AI, it’s not an insult on OP, AI is just getting so good these days and if this is indeed a real setup it’s pretty incredible

Those logitechs punch above their pay grade. As long as you de-static the potentiometers

You could do an OWC envoy for a TB5 ssd, or an OWC studio stack for a cute little TB5 drive enclosure for an NVME that fits on top of your Studio, or a OWC Express 4M2 Ultra for a multi NVME drive enclosure. This are pricey kit though.

I've been using their TB4 one as the boot brive for my M4 mini for 18 months now. Rock solid. No issues. And, best of all, no fan noise.

I’ve heard people talking about this before, but I’m not really sure I understand it. Do you mind explaining? I’m not really familiar with “NVME” or “boot drive”? Is this for expanding storage outside of the SSD that the Mac comes with?

If I have 1 thing on my desk it looks cluttered, whilst other people can pull this off! Like it

What camera did you use to take the photo + did you do any filters / colour grading? The lighting is super nice.

u/luiscedneo 8d ago

Having such a computer and not pairing it with its native keyboard and mouse is a crime

Reminds me of my favorite ad from Apple from the 80s for the Apple IIc. (https://www.vintagecomputing.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/apple_2c_room_large.jpg)
