Mac Studio represents a new category between Mac mini and Mac Pro. It features a design based on the Mac mini, but with a taller body to support the more powerful hardware and also a better cooling system.

The computer is targeted at professional users who work with demanding tasks such as video editing, 3D rendering, and machine learning. 

Embraced by creative pros everywhere, Mac Studio now delivers next-generation power in the form of the lightning-fast M2 Max and the boundary-breaking M2 Ultra. It packs outrageous performance and extensive connectivity in an unbelievably compact form, putting everything you need within easy reach and transforming any space into a studio.

By default, Mac Studio already comes with the M2 Max chip, 32GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD storage. A more expensive option lets users customize the computer with M2 Ultra. While M2 Max has a 12-core CPU and a 30-core GPU, M2 Ultra doubles all of those specs. The new chip has a 24-core CPU and a 60-core GPU.

Mac Studio can also be configured with up to 192GB of RAM and 8TB of SSD storage. The machine offers up to six Thunderbolt ports, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, headphone jack, two USB-A ports, and one HDMI port.

Apple has been rumored to be working on new versions of this machine with the M3 Max and M3 Ultra chips. However, these versions may not be ready until 2025.Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said in November last year that the M3 Ultra chip “hasn’t yet gone into broad testing” inside Apple.

In the US,prices for the Mac Studio with M2 Max chip start at $1999. The M2 Ultra chip version starts at $3999. Just like the Mac mini, it doesn’t come with a keyboard and mouse in the box. You can findaccessories for your Mac here.

Apple this week announced anew generation of Mac Studio, and surprisingly it is available with two different chip families:M3 Ultra and M4 Max. While the company claims that the M3 Ultra is up to twice as fast as the M4 Max in some workloads, benchmark tests show that there isn’t a huge difference between the CPU of the two chips.

The Apple silicon era has not been kind to the Mac Pro, and the target market for Apple’s most niche machine shrank even more today. However, it’s always darkest before the dawn, and that may be the case for this Mac workstation.

Apple has just launched two new Macs, theM4 MacBook Air and a newMac Studio. The Mac Studio comes with two chip options: M4 Max or M3 Ultra. Here’s everything you should know about the new M3 Ultra chip.

It turns out there’s something in the air today, too. Apple hasunveiled a new Mac Studio, the second revamp to the desktop powerhouse that it launched in 2022. The new Mac Studio is available in two chip configurations: the M4 Max and the M3 Ultra.

Last year, Apple unveiled thefirst Macs with the M4 chip: theMacBook Pro,iMac, andMac mini. That’s about half of the Mac lineup, leaving the MacBook Air, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro. Among the two remaining desktops, the Mac Studio is definitely the more popular one – though it’s a bit outdated, still sporting the M2 Max and M2 Ultra. Here’s everything we’re expecting with the next Mac Studio, though it is a bit light.

Late last month, Apple unveiled thefirst Macs with the M4 chip: theMacBook Pro,iMac, andMac mini. That’s about half of the Mac lineup, leaving the MacBook Air, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro.

In a new report today,Bloomberg offered information on what’s next for the Mac with the advent of M4 processors. The details about Apple’s plans for the future of the Mac Pro and Mac Studio specifically stood out to me. Here are the takeaways.

Most of those using a 2019Mac Pro should switch to theMac Studio, rather than the 2023 Mac Pro, arguesMacworld videographer and gamer Thiago Trevisan.

He argues that there’s only one reason to choose the current Mac Pro over the much more compact Mac Studio, despite the fact that the 2019 model was “the best workstation [he has] ever owned” …

With Apple having announceda new Mac Studio withthe exact same chipset, it seemed clear that the 2023Mac Pro market would be pretty small – if notdead on arrival.

Talking to pro Mac users with demanding needs, it seems that the 16-inchMacBook Pro has also cannibalized much of its market…

While the new Mac Studio is just an under-the-hood spec bump, the M2 generation shows promising results in new benchmarks by YouTuber Luke Miani. Apple has made some key changes that show off the prowess and flexibility of Apple Silicon compared to Intel.

Say what you will about theexpansion limits of the first Apple silicon Mac Pro, but there’s no denying that Apple designed one helluva machine. While the M2 Ultra Mac Pro is virtually identical to the last Intel Xeon Mac Pro,MacGeneration has captured what it’s like to unbox the most expensive Mac in the lineup.

Apple debuted its second-generationMac Studio at WWDC with more power and capability than ever. Read along for a detailed look at the M2 Mac Studio vs M1 Mac Studio and how the latest Apple Silicon desktops improve on their predecessors.

Apple announced three new Macs at WWDC 2023: a 15-inch MacBook Air, a new-generation Mac Studio, and the very first Mac Pro with an Apple Silicon chip. These Macs went on pre-order last week, and now the first orders are finally arriving to customers around the world.

A month ago, no one outside of Apple really expected to see a new Mac Studio this year (or maybe even ever). Why make a Mac Studio with an M2 Ultra if the Mac Pro uses the same chip? It turns out there are plenty of reasons to make both, and one of those reasons is a $3,000 value.

Back at the beginning of the year, I questioned whether the 2023Mac Pro would bedead on arrival – since it seemed Apple would have enormous difficulty in distinguishing it from other Macs powered by the same chips.

Apple has of course nowannounced the new Mac Pro, and while it does offer a handful of benefits the updated Mac Studiolaunched alongside it, very few people are going to buy one …
