Apple has updated the Mac Studio for the first time since 2023, replacing the M2 Max and M2 Ultra chips with the M4 Max and M3 Ultra. The new models offer significant performance gains, increase maximum memory from 192 GB to 512 GB, boost storage limits from 8 TB to 16 TB, and add Thunderbolt 5 connectivity.
With the release of new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models based on the M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips, Apple has addressed every niggling annoyance in the previous generation—these are glorious machines. But they still aren’t cheap.
