GoKawiilApple's Mac Studio keeps its 2022 design through four chip generations
Apple has maintained the same 7.7-inch aluminum enclosure for the Mac Studio since its 2022 launch, now in its fourth hardware generation with the M5 Ultra. Internally, capabilities have grown sharply: the original M1 Ultra topped out at 128GB of memory, while the new M5 Ultra supports up to 512GB with data transfer speeds of 1.2TB/s, about 50 percent faster than the M3 Ultra. Apple skipped an M4 Ultra version due to hardware limitations, and in June raised prices across much of its Mac lineup, pushing the entry-level Mac Studio M4 Max from $1,999 to $2,499.
