This is the kind of computer that can’t be reviewed in a matter of days, so we’re just getting started.

The Mac Studio comes with your choice of two different processors: the single-chip M4 Max, which is the default for the base model, or the M3 Ultra, which costs an additional $2,000. The M3 Ultra, as the name suggests, is based upon the M3 Max, Apple's top-of-the-line single-chip .

For the first time ever though, Apple is offering the Mac Studio with two different generations of chip. The entry-level $1,999 Mac Studio is powered by the M4 Max, while the more powerful $3,999 Mac Studio is the only Mac to ship with the M3 Ultra.
