Mac Studio
open-in-new
<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2> <p>The Mac Studio is a desktop personal computer, designed to sit between the consumer-level <a href="/facts/Mac_Mini/fVAgG2eN">Mac Mini</a> and the professional-targeted <a href="/facts/Mac_Pro/aS0qSBTl">Mac Pro</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> The Mac Studio has an identical width and depth to the contemporary Mac mini, 7.7 inches (200 mm), but it stands taller at 3.7 inches (94 mm). </p><p>The Mac Studio was initially offered in two <a href="/facts/ARM_architecture_family/SALsYA79">ARM-based</a> <a href="/facts/System_on_a_chip/1RVvVe6N">SoC</a>: the <a href="/facts/Apple_M1_Max/vaTA4u2J">M1 Max</a> or the <a href="/facts/Apple_M1_Ultra/vaTA4u2J">M1 Ultra</a>, which combines two M1 Max chips in one package.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> It has four <a href="/facts/Thunderbolt_(interface)/x6pqMKHY">Thunderbolt 4</a> (<a href="/facts/USB-C/7qVuop6e">USB 4</a>) ports, two <a href="/facts/USB-A/mI8gwp0y">USB 3.0 Type-A</a> ports, <a href="/facts/HDMI/HuNwzm04">HDMI</a> (up to 4K @ 60 Hz), <a href="/facts/10_Gigabit_Ethernet/FvxUohpf">10Gb Ethernet</a> with <a href="/facts/Out-of-band_management/cocV8SxQ">Lights Out Management</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> and a <a href="/facts/Headphone_jack/KvpIlV94">headphone jack</a>. The front panel has two USB-C ports (Thunderbolt 4 in M1 Ultra models) and an <a href="/facts/SD_card/RLL9UTly">SD card</a> slot (that supports SDXC cards and <a href="/facts/UHS-II/RLL9UTly">UHS-II</a> bus), making it the first desktop Mac since the 2012 <a href="/facts/Mac_Pro/aS0qSBTl">Mac Pro</a> to have I/O on the front. It is cooled by a pair of double-sided blowers and a mesh of holes on the bottom and back of the case, which helps reduce the noise of fans spinning.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a> Nevertheless, there have been reports of excessive fan noise.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a> </p><p>Mac Studio models with the Ultra SoC are heavier than the Max-equipped models, as they exchange the aluminum <a href="/facts/Heat_sink/ccIEdHnq">heat sink</a> for one composed of copper.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a> Apple says the Mac Studio performs 50 percent faster than a <a href="/facts/Mac_Pro/aS0qSBTl">Mac Pro</a> with a 16-core <a href="/facts/Intel_Xeon/j1M8Hp6D">Intel Xeon</a> processor.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a> </p><p>The Mac Studio was introduced alongside the <a href="/facts/Apple_Studio_Display/REVPqxLs">Apple Studio Display</a>, a 27-inch 5K monitor with an integrated 12 megapixel camera, six-speaker sound system with <a href="/facts/Spatial_audio/9FXUKVvs">spatial audio</a> and <a href="/facts/Dolby_Atmos/sBVMbBwo">Dolby Atmos</a> support and a height adjustable stand.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10"><sup>10</sup></a> Customers reported months-long shipping delays for the Mac Studio, attributed to a <a href="/facts/2020%25E2%2580%2593present_global_chip_shortage/He7sHAHS">global chip shortage</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11"><sup>11</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12"><sup>12</sup></a> </p> <h3>Updates</h3> <p>On June 5, 2023, during <a href="/facts/WWDC/hEjVWkoo">WWDC</a>, Apple introduced updated Mac Studio models based on the <a href="/facts/M2_Max/xhYXgnsN">M2 Max</a> and <a href="/facts/Apple_silicon/A8RgouDB">M2 Ultra</a> chips. Updates include <a href="/facts/Bluetooth/sWAjpMrj">Bluetooth 5.3</a>, <a href="/facts/Wi-Fi_6/JElWr80m">Wi-Fi 6E</a>, the capability of running up to six 6K monitors, and support for <a href="/facts/8K_resolution/9JXu8uoG">8K displays</a> over Thunderbolt and HDMI.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13"><sup>13</sup></a> </p><p>On March 5, 2025, updated Mac Studio models were announced with <a href="/facts/Apple_M4/4NFTxyKQ">M4 Max</a> and <a href="/facts/Apple_M3/VIt7M4fB">M3 Ultra</a> chips, which began shipping on March 12. Updates include Thunderbolt 5, and memory configurable up to 512 GB and storage configurable up to 16 TB on the M3 Ultra models.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14"><sup>14</sup></a> Despite the M4 chips being a newer generation than the M3 chips, the M3 Ultra was included in the high-end model due to there being no existing Ultra chips in the M4 line.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15"><sup>15</sup></a> </p> <h3>Repairability</h3> <p>Mac Studio has two removable flash storage ports, with one or two of them in use, the latter in models with 4 or 8 TB of storage.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16"><sup>16</sup></a> While it is possible to swap the flash storage card between same size models, with an <a href="/facts/Apple_Configurator/EbKUBql6">Apple Configurator</a> restore,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17"><sup>17</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18"><sup>18</sup></a> upgrading is not supported officially<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19"><sup>19</sup></a>.
