![]() ![]() The top-end model of the Mac Studio with the M2 Ultra will set you back $8799 in the US or £8999 in the UK so it's not a small purchase by any stretch of the imagination. More than many of us would know what to do with half of, let alone the full whack. There are also unified memory options of 64GB, 128GB and 192GB, while storage options range from 1TB to 8TB so we're talking about some serious power here. ![]() By comparison, the M1 Ultra chip had a 20-core CPU and up to 64-core GPU. The M2 Ultra meanwhile, is an entirely new chipset, with the base model offering a 24-core CPU with 16 high-performance cores and 8 efficiency cores, alongside a 60-core GPU, though it is configurable up to 76 graphics cores. The design works, with an SDXC card slot and two Thunderbolt 4 or USB-C ports (model dependant) conveniently positioned on the front, alongside the status light to the right, while the rear houses the rest of the ports, of which there are several. Nothing has changed in terms of design compared to the Mac Studio (2022), but that's definitely not a criticism. There are rounded edges, flat sides, a flat top with a polished Apple logo and a tapered bottom with grille holes for the fan and it's every bit as premium as you would expect. There's no reaching around a big monitor here. The Mac Studio is around twice the height of the Mac mini and it sits on top of your desk, resulting in a neat and tidy offering, but more than that, easy access to all the ports. In our setup, we have the Studio Display, Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad, and they are a delight to use together. That means that like the Mac mini, you buy a display, keyboard, trackpad or mouse all individually, unless of course you have them already. ![]()
