On the M1 Ultra version, the addition of a second M1 Max SoC makes it possible for those front ports to be full 40Gbps Thunderbolt 4 ports, just like the ones on the back.Įven if your work doesn’t require the full power of an M1 Max or Ultra, the amount of I/O here does make the Studio better suited for all kinds of workloads than the M1 Mac mini.

In the M1 Max version of the Studio, there are two 10Gbps USB-C ports, plus a UHS-II SDXC card reader. You get four Thunderbolt 4 ports, a 10 gigabit Ethernet port, two 5Gbps USB-A ports, a single HDMI port, and a headphone jack.īut there are now ports on the front of the machine, something Apple has resisted in every one of its computers other than the Mac Pro. The back of the Studio has the same number and type of ports as the 2018 Intel Mac mini, give or take some protocol upgrades. Performance is a big part of the Mac Studio’s appeal, and we’ll take a close look at it shortly.

But you’re also free to keep using whatever accessories you use with your current Mac (for me, a Mac-layout Varmilo VA87M mechanical keyboard and original Magic Trackpad 2). Apple will sell you silver-and-black versions of all of its Magic accessories, including the TouchID keyboard and a version of the Magic Trackpad with slightly more rounded corners. The other Mac mini-ish thing about the Studio is that it’s a “ BYODKM” affair, with no display, keyboard, or mouse included in the package. And both versions of the Studio will get warm to the touch when they’re working hard, but neither is ever uncomfortably hot to the touch, something that could occasionally be a problem with Intel Macs. My air-cooled Intel and AMD systems both spin up audibly when crunching on lengthy video-encoding jobs or playing games, but the Studio’s fans were never audible. The heatsink Apple is using for the Studio’s cooling apparatus is made of aluminum in the M1 Max version of the Studio and copper in the M1 Ultra version-the copper heatsink adds two pounds to the weight of the computer, and you can instantly tell the difference when you pick them up.īut in both cases, the size of the cooler and the power efficiency of Apple’s chips keep the Studio nearly dead silent no matter what you’re doing with it.

It’s not quite the mythical midrange “ xMac” workstation of yore, but it’s as close as we’ve ever gotten. It’s both a glimpse at what is possible now that Apple is leaving the Intel era behind, and yet another recommitment to the Mac as a powerful and flexible platform for getting work done.

It borrows elements of the Mac Pro and the Mac mini, but it replaces neither. The Studio reminds me of a few Macs we’ve seen before-it’s sort of a trashcan Mac Pro by way of the PowerMac G4 Cube.

And now we've gotten to the Mac Studio, the first totally new Apple Silicon Mac. The 24-inch iMac and 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros were throwbacks to the colorful G3 iMacs and titanium PowerBooks from two decades ago.

The MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini all looked and felt exactly like the Macs they replaced, just with better performance and much better battery life.
