A different product received the most attention yesterday morning, despite the fact that the new iPhone SE model was the most talked about on the eve of last night's Apple conference. It is a completely new Mac model that resembles a taller Mac mini or a Mac mini for professionals in appearance and functionality.
Aside from its style, the Mac Studio is unique in that it is the first Apple computer to be equipped with the company's most recent and most powerful processor. The computer is offered in two configurations: one with the M1 Max chip and another with the aforementioned new M1 Ultra chip, both of which are listed below. While giving their presentation, the representatives from Apple indicated that the base pricing for a device that runs this most powerful processor can reach upwards of $ 3,999.
The base model, on the other hand, can be upgraded in terms of hardware, and as the hardware becomes more advanced and expensive, the price of the device rises accordingly.
As an example, boosting graphics from 48 cores to 64 cores will cost an additional $ 1,000, whilst those who want more memory (128 GB instead of 64 GB) will pay an additional $ 800 in addition. The most significant additional expense is data storage, and those who choose the maximum available storage capacity of 8TB will incur an additional cost of $ 2,200. So a total of $ 4,000 more for the best possible performance in Mac Studio.
Because it is merely a desktop computer, it also necessitates the purchase of a monitor. The Studio Display monitor was introduced by Apple last night, and while it starts at $ 1,600, it can be further customized (for example, with a different stand that allows you to adjust the height of the monitor and premium glass that reduces glare), which will cost an additional $ 700, bringing the total price to $2300.
As a result, individuals who want to get the most out of their Mac Studio and Studio Display will have to shell out as much as $ 10,300 for the privilege.
Starting on March 18, both devices will be available on the United States market.
