The Mac Studio is Apple's brand new personal computer, and it comes with quite the check list of awesome specs. First of all, there are two models available: the M1 Max-chipped version, and the M1 Ultra-chipped version. The latter chip is all-new, and really ramps up performance. But let's look at the entry level M1 Max chip model first.
The Mac Studio M1 Max comes with a 10-core CPU and 24-core GPU, plus a 16-core Neural Engine. You get 32GB unified memory and 512GB SSD with that, plus a range of ports, including two USB-C ports and one SDXC card slot at the front, and four Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-A and one HDMI port at the back. Add a 10GB ethernet port and a 3,5mm headphone jack, and you've got a pretty great connected PC. This model will set you back $1,999/£1,999, but trade-in discounts are available (a 2017, 15-inch, 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 MacBook Pro will get you $650/£600 to trade in, for example).
The M1 Ultra is the all-new, all-powerful Apple chip, and is only for the serious professional creative (with some cash to splash). $3,999/£3,999 will get you a 20-core CPU, 48-core GPU with a 32-core Neural Engine. Up front you get two Thunderbolt 4 ports and one SDXC card slot. And round back all the same ports as the M1 Max version.
