Frequently Asked Questions

Which Cortex Studio model should I choose?

Choose the Cortex Studio Pro for daily 4K editing in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, the Ultra for 8K, RAW workflows and serious colour grading, and the Ultimate when you need maximum power for the heaviest production workloads. Not sure? Call us on 0207 096 5008 and we'll match a build to your workflow.

Can I customise the specification?

Yes — every Cortex Studio workstation is fully customisable. We can adjust memory, storage, GPU and cooling to suit your exact workflow and budget before we build.

How quiet are Cortex Studio workstations?

Very. Each build uses premium low-noise cooling tuned to stay whisper-quiet even under sustained 100% CPU and GPU load, so overnight renders won't keep you (or your recordings) company.

Are the workstations tested before dispatch?

Every system is professionally assembled in the UK, then put through extended full-load stress testing and a final quality check before it leaves our workshop.

What warranty is included?

A 3-Year Standard Warranty: 1 year of Collect & Return service, 1 year of parts coverage and 3 full years of technical labour support.

Do you offer delivery or collection?

Both. Free UK delivery is included, or you can collect for free from our Central London store at 48 Tottenham Court Road.
