Apple’s updated Mac Studio for 2025 offers two powerful configurations, balancing performance and price to appeal to creators. The entry-level model features an M4 Max chip with a 14-core CPU, 32-core GPU, and 36GB memory for $1,999, while the premium M3 Ultra version starts at $3,999, packing a 28-core CPU, 60-core GPU, and 96GB memory. The M3 Ultra combines two M3 Max chips into one, making it significantly faster than its predecessors.
Despite its compact “lunchbox” design, Apple calls the Mac Studio “the most powerful Mac ever made.” Storage options range from 512GB to 16TB (upgradable at purchase), and top-tier models peak at $14,099 with enhanced specs like a 80-core GPU. Benchmarks confirm its speed surpasses even high-end laptops like the M4 Pro MacBook Pro, solidifying its place as both a performance leader and premium-priced powerhouse.
