The Mac Studio is Apple's compact pro-desktop tower -- roughly 19.7x19.7x9.5cm -- built to deliver workstation-class performance without a workstation-sized case, aimed at video editors, 3D artists, developers, and other professionals running genuinely demanding workloads. This configuration runs Apple's M2 Max chip with a 12-core CPU and 30-core GPU, an unspecified amount of of unified memory, and a 512GB SSD -- the shared unified-memory pool means large creative files and GPU-heavy tasks (video grading, 3D rendering, large ML models) can draw on the full memory pool rather than being capped by a separate, smaller VRAM allocation the way a traditional discrete-GPU desktop would be. The Mac Studio chassis carries far more I/O than the smaller Mac mini: multiple Thunderbolt ports (front and rear), 10-gigabit Ethernet, an SD card slot, and HDMI output, making it genuinely capable of driving several high-resolution displays and fast external storage simultaneously. As with every Mac desktop, keyboard, mouse, and monitor are sold separately. It ships with macOS preinstalled (Model A2901).
