Sure Apple doesn’t exactly have the best reputation for gaming, and I won’t claim to be the best reviewer out there to test the gaming capabilities, however, the few games I tried (mostly Civ VI and the Witcher 3) ran incredibly well at high graphics settings on the Apple Studio monitor provided. So for those Windows users looking for a powerful machine a fraction of the size of those big Windows towers, this is something to seriously consider. MacBook Pro 16 (Intel i7, AMD Radeon Pro 5300M)Īlthough you can build a much more powerful Windows PC for less money, there is nothing quite like the Mac Studio in the world of Windows desktops. No more are the days of huge PC towers with fans to rival a jet engine, the fans on the Mac Studio are very quiet, on the rare occasion they came on, I barely even noticed them, even when pushing the system. The fact that a chip as powerful as the M2 Ultra can be found inside something this small is amazing. The Mac Studio is very compact, measuring only 3.5 liters in volume, and also almost worryingly light. The build will be very familiar to anyone who has used the Mac Studio before, the whole computer is a small unassuming silver box that is similar in design to two Mac Minis stacked on top of each other and is also in the same design family as the Apple TV. Then airflow comes through the base of the Studio to keep it cool, even when the new chips are pushed to their limits. The Studio also has the latest in wireless connections with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.ĭespite all the impressive new chips and abundant connections, the Mac Studio has a super compact design and easily fits under the Apple Studio monitor to take up minimal space on a desk. The Mac Studio also offers extensive connectivity for peripherals and external memory, on the front there are two Thunderbolt 4 ports, and a UHS-II XCSD card slot, while on the rear of the Studio, there is an additional four Thunderbolt 4 ports, a 10Gb Ethernet connection, two USB-A ports, HDMI port.
