Just like the Mac mini, though, the Mac Studio is designed to sit on your desktop and it occupies exactly the same amount of space.įor those lucky enough to be able to afford one, the Mac Studio comes in two versions: one with the ten-core M1 Max chip at the helm and one with the all-new 20-core M1 Ultra. It’s taller – about 2.5 times the height – and heavier, and mostly that’s thanks to a beefier internal heatsink and a pair of large fans. Instead, it’s the culmination of the work Apple has been doing since it announced its own silicon, the M1 SoC, way back in 2020.Įssentially, it’s a souped-up Mac mini designed for heavier workloads. The Mac Studio isn’t something otherworldly or magical, though. It isn’t the perfect tool for every task – no one computer ever is – but it takes desktop computing into territory it has never been before.īuy now from John Lewis Apple Mac Studio review: What you need to know Here is a computer that will tackle the heftiest of workloads while barely breaking a sweat it’s smaller, quieter and consumes less energy than most. Of all the laptops and PCs, tablets and phones I’ve covered over the years (and it’s been a few), the Mac Studio has been one of my favourite things to use and review and it stands among the most impressive technological achievements I’ve ever covered. That being said, as I write this, I do have a Mac Studio on my desk, ready to review, and very nice it is, too. I’m a journalist who writes and edits product reviews and, for this workload, the Mac Studio is the proverbial hammer to crack a nut.
Sure, I’d love to have one on my desk for the rare occasions that I need to edit 4K video, but it would be overkill even for that, let alone the majority of my work. I’m not the target audience for the Apple Mac Studio.
