Apple earlier this month introduced Mac Studio, an entirely new Mac desktop powered by M1 Max and the new M1 Ultra, the world’s most powerful chip for a personal computer. It is the first computer to deliver an unprecedented level of performance, an extensive array of connectivity, and completely new capabilities in an unbelievably compact design that sits within arm’s reach on the desk.
Dave Gershgorn for The New York Times:
Last week’s introduction of the Mac Studio… offers more processing power than you can find in any other Mac that Apple currently sells, fitting it all into a nearly silent package that stands just a few Mac minis tall.
Pitched firmly at creatives, developers, and professional studios, the Mac Studio is designed more for making Super Bowl commercials than home movies.
We had a few days to test and review a Mac Studio with the less expensive M1 Max processor, 64 GB of upgraded memory, and 2 TB of storage, a configuration that normally costs $3,000.
As a home computer or an everyday desktop, the Mac Studio is far more computer than most people need. But if some part of your day involves waiting for projects to render or export, our tests showed that the Mac Studio could meaningfully speed up your workflow…
Using the Studio for a few days of more ordinary tasks, we found that it was as responsive as we expected. But outside of formal benchmark tests, the most noticeable advantage of the Studio was simply how quiet it was. If you’re currently working on a machine that blasts its fans every time you boot up Photoshop, the Mac Studio would be a far quieter upgrade. I threw every stress test I could at the Mac Studio, and it stayed silent and cool. Even after taxing the CPU to 100% for 10 minutes and then running two 30-minute rendering benchmarks, I noticed the fans only when I brought my ears within inches of the Mac Studio…
If you work at a desk in a creative field like video editing, 3D modeling, graphic design, or another resource-intensive profession, and you’ve been waiting for a powerful Mac with a more reasonable price in comparison with the Mac Pro, the Mac Studio is probably just what you’ve been waiting for.

“the most noticeable advantage of the Studio was simply how quiet it was.”
pfft
He clearly isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. He does work at the New York Slimes, after allergies
Since you’re into hating NY, you should know your beloved faux newz entertainment hq is there.
your orange retard hero took out full page ads in the Times to share his fact free opinions about the CP5. Reality TV lies ignorant outbursts braggadocio and red hats made you think he was on your side. you sheep have been conned.
What difference does it make where the NY Times or any media outlet is located? Worthless correlation?
And you seem to be hip deep in fact free media if you haven’t realized yet that that “orange retard” keeps getting proven right in his assertions. Russia collusion shown to be pure BS, Biden’s quid pro quo that got blamed on POTUS while all evidence was to the contrary, and lately, the evidence that, just as he claimed, there was spying issued by the political permanent class on a presidential candidate and sitting president.
are you replying to the dude with the borg obsession?
NO brainless, the great and powerful ORANGE is clearly on the side of All people, his policies included detractors. Try to find that trait in the royal highness Democrats who treat us like serfs, rules for thee but not for me. Lip service, NOT ACTIONS, has you terminally brainwashed and hopelessly CONNED…
Tru Dat. No better description for the NYT has ever been made.
Now run along and keep simping for this:
“I don’t want MY kids to grow up in a JUNGLE. A RACIAL jungle”- JOEY as he proudly voted, on record and alongside RACISTS and SEGREGATIONISTS to keep Blacks segregated from whites.
We also felt your pride as your KKKULT leader said that President Obama was the FIRST Mainstream African American who was “articulate, bright and CLEAN”.
You knew EXACTLY what you wanted, because JOEY’s been spewing racism for fifty YEARS.
Sharp tools in the shed don’t come up with nicknames like “New York Slimes” and think they sound impressively original and deeply knowledgable communicating on that level. Funny how a page initially build around the most cutting-edge advanced technology, mainly Apple products, is now populated by the dimmest bulbs, right-winged homophobes and other assorted unhappy and unpleasant people, possibly those who suspect that, indeed, maybe they aren’t really the sharpest tools they hope to be. I mean, just take in the level of discourse. We should all go home and shower.
Right wing homophobes?
On “gays” “I feel they’re a threat to national security”- JOEY Biden.
We understand how “bright” you think you are, but we all also know you were fully aware of JOEY’s fifty years record of systemic racism when you voted for it.
Get off your high horse. You watched JOEY on tv, telling Black reporter Errol Barnett that a Black man inquiring about JOEY’s mental acuity IS THE SAME THING as JOEY asking a Black man if he’s a JUNKIE- And you chose it.
“ARE YOU A JUNKIE?”- JOEY to a Black reporter, on live tv, while campaigning for YOUR support- Something that in a half CENTURY of politics, JOEY never dared ask of a white man, but the FIRST words from his mouth when confronting a Black.
Wait until Max Tech or Anandtech review the Mac Studio they are the only reviews worth your time.
It stands “a few Mac minis tall”? The bozo is a few brain cells short of a mosquito’s total neuron count, showing that once again. The details just so t matter to the New York Times.
The Mac Atio is great, and they right say that, but honestly, they are bozos.
*details just don’t matter…
Sorry, I was channeling my inner George at NYT, typing too quickly on a phone. Sorry. FU George!
“Mac Studio Dissected: M1 Ultra About 3x Bigger Than AMD’s Ryzen CPUs”
https://www.tomshardware.com/news/mac-studio-dissected-m1-ultra-about-3x-bigger-than-amds-ryzen-cpus
omg… The M1 Ultra chip looks like it’s about the size of a beverage coaster. No wonder those huge windmills are needed in the Mac Studio. Good grief.
“Good grief” would that be positive or negative. Large chip, large processor power, large cooling makes sense all in proper proportion. BTW, the computer is remarkably QUIET. Size does matter…
