While many were expecting Apple to unveil a new model of the Mac Mini desktop at its “Peek Performance” event in March , that’s not exactly what we got. What we got instead is a whole new line of compact Apple desktops, the Mac Studio . These sleek desktops are as small as they are powerful, and are akin to a supercharged version of the Mini. One of the most notable changes is that they’re equipped with Apple’s most advanced M1 chips — the M1 Max, which is used by the latest MacBook Pro , and the brand-new M1 Ultra . Whether you’re a developer or content creator, having a fast and powerful computer is a must, which is why Apple says this machine can “deliver an unprecedented level of performance, an extensive array of connectivity, and completely new capabilities in an unbelievably compact design that sits within arm’s reach on the desk.” Apple was serious when it spoke about power. You can configure the Mac Studio to come with up to 128GB of RAM, 8TB SSD and up to a 64-core GPU. Like with many other Apple desktops and laptops, you’ll need to make your configuration choices while ordering. You can make changes to the System on a Chip (Processor), Memory, Storage and opt to include preinstalled software if you wish.
