Ever since Apple released its own silicon, creators have salivated at the thought of what kinds of performance could be expected from the company's highest-end machine, the Mac Pro. Today we found out, and it wasn't necessarily the expected answer.
Alongside a move to Apple silicon and a big performance bump, Apple's new Mac Pro has also undergone a dramatic price reduction, at least when comparing the top-end configurations.
Apple announced the Mac Studio, a brand-new line of desktop Mac computers, in March 2022. Just over a year later, Apple has refreshed its powerful desktop line with new processors, including the new M2 Ultra.
At last year's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC), Apple launched new notebooks that used the company's just-announced M2 processor, including a new M2-powered MacBook Air with a 13.6-inch display. At this year's WWDC, Apple revealed a new, still-very-thin MacBook Air with a larger 15-inch display.

The $199 Huion Inspiroy Giano is one of the largest Bluetooth 5.0 pen tablets currently available, and it has a drawing surface area of 13.6 by 8.5 inches (16 inches diagonally) making it an ideal tablet for creatives who need a larger area to work with while retouching or digitally painting on larger 4K and 8K displays.
As creatives are tasked with greater and greater volumes of work, accessories to help speed up their workflow become more and more valuable. While editing consoles can be incredibly useful, they can also be incredibly expensive, which is why YouTuber "Pedro" of DSLR DIY CNC has shared how you can build your own custom "InfiniteDeck" for just about $50.
When it comes to precision and professional image editing, nearly every working retoucher will tell you that a pen tablet is an absolute must-have tool, yet the entry cost of these tools can be a deterrent. Thankfully there are several entry-level tablets like the Veikk VK1060 that offer some professional-level features without breaking the bank.

When Apple debuted the M1 system on a chip (SOC), it released three computers equipped with the same CPU/GPU/RAM combo: the M1 MacBook Air, the M1 MacBook Pro, and the M1 Mac mini. It might seem like this makes for three redundant options, but after reviewing the MacBook Pro and spending a month with the new Mac mini, I can confidently say that the Mac mini is the best choice for the majority of photographers. To explain why, I need to turn to economics.
Asus has announced the second generation of its dual-screen laptops and is aiming them at creative professionals thanks to software and hardware improvements. The original dual-screen design felt more like a novelty, but this follow-up feels far more practical.
As part of the Adobe MAX creative conference, HP has announced a set of new color-critical HDR monitors under its DreamColor line. The company touts the Z25xs G3 and HP Z27xs G3 DreamColor Displays as "the world’s first color-critical HDR monitors with one-touch brightness adjust."
Earlier this week, Apple dropped a substantial update for the 27-inch iMac: its workhorse all-in-one favored by many photographers.

Intel has finally unveiled its much-leaked lineup of 10th-generation "S-series" desktop CPUs headlined by the flagship 10-core Core i9-10900K—a beastly 5.3GHz chip that Intel is calling the "world’s fastest gaming processor."
Camera and lenses aren't the only photographic essentials that cost money. A decent machine with plenty of RAM and fast storage (preferably SSD) and rather expensive serious photography software are must-haves, too.
The design of the iMac hasn't changed much since the aluminum unibody version was announced in 2009. They slimmed down the design in 2012, and added a retina display in 2015, and that's about it... but that definitely doesn't mean Apple isn't innovating behind the scenes.
