The new M2 Max Mac Studio starts at RM9,499, while the M2 Ultra Mac Studio starts at RM18,999. Lastly, the new Mac Studio sees a major jump in price compared to the original Mac Studio lineup. The Mac Studio keeps the same chassis as before, with a 19.7 x 19.7 x 9.5cm body weighing 2.7kg if you’re packing an M2 Max, rising to 3.6kg on machines running M2 Ultra thanks to the more robust cooling solution. ![]() The 3.5mm headphone jack meanwhile now comes with support for high-impedance headphones. Regardless of which processor you use, you’ll also get two USB-A ports, a HDMI port, a 10Gb Ethernet port and an SD card slot.Įlsewhere, there’s a built-in speaker too though it’s honestly not great. I/O though remains unchanged, with four Thunderbolt 4 ports and two USB-C ports for the M2 Max version while the M2 Ultra Mac Studio gets six Thunderbolt 4 ports in total. It now features support for WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, up from the WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 the original Mac Studio had. The new Mac Studio features some notable upgrades when it comes to wireless connectivity. The more tame M2 Max Mac Studio meanwhile is pretty capable, offering simultaneous support for up to five displays, the same as the original Mac Studio with up to four displays pushing a 6K resolution over Thunderbolt and one more display running at 4K at 60Hz over HDMI. If you opt for the M2 Ultra-powered option you’ll get simultaneous support for up to eight displays with up to 4K resolution at 60Hz, six displays with up to 6K at 60Hz and three displays with up to 8K resolution at 60Hz. It’s not often you need to have up to eight displays pushing a 4K resolution coming off the same computer, but in the event that you do, the M2 Ultra Mac Studio has you covered. The M2 Max also features the same 16-core Neural Engine as seen on the MacBook Pro 16 from earlier this year. The 12-core CPU with up to 38 GPU cores and up to 96GB of memory running at 400GB/s of memory bandwidth is also rated to be four times faster than the last Intel-based 27-inch iMac, though in Intel’s defence the latter is three years old now. Even with the M2 Max, Apple says the Mac Studio will be 50% faster than the original M1 Max Mac Studio when it comes to rendering in After Effects, and up to 25% faster for developers using Xcode. If you don’t necessarily need all that performance but still need more performance than what the M2 Pro Mac Mini can offer, the Mac Studio with the M2 Max Mac Studio should offer a nice middle ground for you.
