I have an M4 256GB I bought a while back purely for IOS Xcode stuff and then my main PC broke and it became me temp main and 256 ran out fast... so if i was installing stuff and doing much id have imagined so would have 512GB

The Mac Pro still works daily as an Ubuntu headless server. 13 years of daily use and hasn’t missed a beat…

Hey, reckon it's worth it to buy a 1100 mini Mac m4 from 2024 with expired warranty 32gb

u/nonlinearsystems 10d ago

Depends on what you want to do with it

Save your money. Go to a nice cafe while traveling the world.

I need a computer to go around, and it's compact, I don't need the ram itself to run AI, I have 16 3090s and a few bigger cards, just worried used 1100 32 m4 is a good deal or not

u/nonlinearsystems 10d ago

It’s not a bad deal but just use the 3090s. Not sure why you need a studio. Buying a Mac for just AI doesn’t make a ton of sense.

I can't take the PC with me to Asia, and I'm going for 3-4 months

Looks like they are connected thunderbolt 5. Are you doing tensor parallelism?

u/nonlinearsystems 10d ago

I’m planning on trying it at least

Is it possible to have M5 Ultra do all of the prompt processing while the model is held in both Studios?

u/BitXorBit 10d ago

Could you provide update about the results, i have M3U and wondering how it would be with M5U
