The Mac Studio is compact, cool and crazy powerful!

The Mac Studio is easy to forget about, and I mean that in a good way. Sure, Apple’s new desktop is one of the fastest computers I’ve ever tested, but it packs all of that power into a compact, clean design that’s been sitting discreetly under my monitor.

FULL REVIEW

That combination of big performance within a not-so-big box makes the Studio very compelling, especially for creatives who need lots of video, graphics or music production muscle but don’t have a ton of desk space. But you’ll also have to pay up for the privilege, with a starting price of $1,999 that can quickly balloon to thousands more — especially if you want Apple’s extra-blazing new M1 Ultra processor.

There’s also the fact that Apple’s standard M1 Macs are still ridiculously powerful for the average person’s workload, which raises the question: Who should actually buy a Mac Studio? I spent the past week with Apple’s tiny but beastly desktop to figure that out.
