Is the first generation still worth it?

For many creatives, yes. If you edit video, produce music or work in 3D, this model gives you plenty of power without the price of the latest generation.

M1 Max or M1 Ultra?

For photo editing, video work and most music projects, the M1 Max is enough. You only need the M1 Ultra if you regularly render very large 3D scenes or run several heavy applications at once.

Get the storage right from the start, as it cannot be expanded later. 512 GB is fine if your projects live on external drives; if you keep big media libraries internally, go for several terabytes.

Every pre-owned unit is tested and refurbished in Switzerland, with condition from Bargain to As new. Included are a 1-year warranty extendable to 3 years, 14-day returns and free shipping. Stock varies; the Mac Studio (Mid 2023) offers more power, or browse all Mac Studio models.
