It’s time to upgrade my computer (a PC) to be able to run the latest version of Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. I am considering an Apple Mac Studio with M2 Max. Alternatively, I can go with a custom build PC, including an Intel Core i9-14900KF Processor, 32GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti - 12GB video card. The cost difference is not much. My current display is suitable for photo editing, so I will not need to upgrade at this time.
The buzz is that the Mac Studio with M2 is blazingly fast in all photo editing aspects, while there are no accounts of the PC speed, which I presume would be no slouch as configured.
Should I take the plunge into Apple, or stick with PC. The purported ease of Apple sounds inviting, but I like the option of being able to open the case and make upgrades myself.
What would you recommend and why.
Thank you.
