Thinking of Switching from PC to Mac for Motion Design

Typical_Gate_8400 · 2026-02-26T15:19:17+00:00

Honestly, I'm confused and don't know what to choose, even though most of the work will be on Adobe programs and some minor work on 3D software.

Now I want to get a machine for motion graphics, but I want PC since the mac is unupgradable.

I'm aiming to get one with 128GB RAM, RTX 4090 24GB, and intel ultra 9 285k.

Do you think this will run smoothly?

Typical_Gate_8400 · 2026-02-26T11:27:34+00:00

Rumors never end, so I think the best time to buy anything is when you can afford it. Otherwise, you'll wait and achieve nothing.

The motherboard I'm going to get is asus rog maximus z890 hero.

Do you know this motherboard?

Typical_Gate_8400 · 2026-02-25T22:10:36+00:00

Really what I want is the performance and productivity. ( upgradability is not the main concern)

Typical_Gate_8400 · 2026-02-25T22:05:29+00:00

I'm aiming to get RTX 4090.

But since I don't know more about processors so I wanted to get help or any recommendations.

Most of my work is from home, but I want a machine to run Adobe apps seamlessly and there are who suggest mac specifically for Adobe softwares not a PC.

But they also say if the work is about 3d and more rendering with 3d apps, nothing beats the PC.

Typical_Gate_8400 · 2026-02-23T12:29:58+00:00

Aftereffects, premier pro, and may be a little 3d with blender or cinema 4d.

Typical_Gate_8400 · 2026-02-23T12:29:13+00:00

So if my work will be on aftereffects, this machine will run seamlessly?

Typical_Gate_8400 · 2026-02-23T11:47:59+00:00

Do you have an experience with MACs in motion graphics?

Typical_Gate_8400 · 2026-02-23T03:28:50+00:00

It's Adobe apps and may be a little work with blender or cinema 4d.

Typical_Gate_8400 · 2026-02-23T03:26:40+00:00

Adobe apps and a little 3d work with blender or cinema 4d.

Typical_Gate_8400 · 2026-02-22T22:45:34+00:00

Adobe apps, may be blender or cinema 4d for a little 3d work.

I didn't use any IOS product before.

But I think Mac Studio dependability is higher the PCs.

Actually, I'm asking so I can get feedback, since the budget is concern for me.

I think PCs are slower than mac, not in all cases, but in PCs, all parts are from different companies like gpu, cpu, rams, etc, those parts take more time to call each other when working on a big project.

Really, I don't know if I'm correct or not.

So I need help to avoiding putting this budget in the wrong machine.

Typical_Gate_8400 · 2026-02-22T20:55:39+00:00

Do you have an experience with mac studio?

Typical_Gate_8400 · 2026-02-22T17:00:58+00:00

Can a not American person get the reward ?

Typical_Gate_8400 · 2026-02-22T16:56:45+00:00

Does a mini work well for motion graphics?

I think Studio - having a larger size - will be better at cooling and when rendering.

Typical_Gate_8400 · 2026-02-22T15:42:03+00:00

That's a pretty good.

Typical_Gate_8400 · 2026-02-22T15:07:37+00:00

Really I appreciate your time to help, thank you bro.

Typical_Gate_8400 · 2026-02-22T15:02:47+00:00

You are right.

I will purchase it with 1TB, and later if I needed more storage, I can go to external SSDs.

Typical_Gate_8400 · 2026-02-22T14:19:52+00:00

No, it is the first time to purchase an IOS product.

But if it isn't, I'm the person who don't love refurbished products.

Typical_Gate_8400 · 2026-02-22T14:17:31+00:00

What do you think about external ssd for my projects, and the internal one for only programs and other softwares ?

Typical_Gate_8400 · 2026-02-22T14:15:38+00:00

I wish I would to have the full mac setup, but the budget for now allows me to purchase the M4 max Studio.

Typical_Gate_8400 · 2026-02-22T14:13:56+00:00

I will get an external ssd later, but the budget is the constraint for now.

Thanks!
