It’s new, super powerful, and you can get it for $50 off if you buy it on Amazon. What is it? Well, the brand new Apple Mac Studio with M5 Max chip, of course. Sure, you can buy it for $2,499 at Apple, but why not buy it for $2,449? It’s rare for Mac Studio to be available on Amazon, let alone for sale, so if you want one, now’s a good time to buy it.
Waiting for a new Apple machine to go on sale usually means waiting a long time. So when a newly released professional desktop appears even slightly below list price, it’s worth taking a look. The Apple Mac Studio with the M5 Max chip is a real beast of a device. In fact, we just reviewed it and found it worthy of our Editors’ Choice award and a 4.5-star rating. We loved the dramatic SSD speed boost and support for external displays, even if Apple still won’t let us upgrade the RAM.
The Mac Studio with the M5 Max chip is so impressive that we think everyone should get one, even if you just bought the M4 Max or M3 Ultra. That’s not something we usually say when Apple releases a new generation of products, but it definitely applies here. It’s easily the best Mac ever created. The M5 Max chip combines a next-generation CPU with a much more powerful GPU, and is designed for the kind of heavy lifting that makes lesser computers go under. Video editing, 3D rendering, big creative projects, and complex professional workflows – Mac Studio won’t even break a sweat.
Memory and storage back it up. This particular configuration comes with 32GB of unified memory and 512GB of storage. Connectivity is also generous for such a small device, as it has four Thunderbolt 5 ports, as well as plenty of USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, an SDXC card slot, and a headphone jack. It supports up to five external displays (yes, five!), so you can create a serious multi-screen setup, and it’s Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 ready.
For $2,450, this is a professional machine that’s ready for anything you want to accomplish. And you can buy it for less than Apple sells it, so it’s always a win.
