I didn't "max out" the SSD, I chose an SSD to match the machine of the user. You: "You're comparing the base M4 to a full fat Strix Halo that costs nearly $4,000." Then You: "A little disingenuous to max out on the SSD to make the Apple product look worse."

I didn't "max out" the SSD, I chose an SSD to match the machine of the user. Why don't you try to match in CPU speed, GPU speed, NPU speed, noise, battery life, etc? Why match SSD only? That's why your post was disingenuous. If it helps you focus on what the actual discussion, we are comparing maximum CPU and GPU speeds for the dollar. That's it.

    Great. Here's what you're getting between an M4 Max vs an AMD AI 395+: https://imgur.com/a/yvpEpKF https://imgur.com/a/yvpEpKF And of course, the Mac Studio itself is a much more capable box with things like Thunderbolt5, more ports, quieter, etc. I can see why some people would choose the AMD solution. It runs x86, works well with Linux, can play DirectX games natively, and is much cheaper. Meanwhile, the M4 Max performs significantly better, more efficient, likely much more quiet, runs macOS, more ports, better build quality, Apple backing and support.
