The Apple Mac Studio 2022 computer (M1 Ultra 20/64) goes below 2700 € at Cdiscount i.e. a drop of regarding 34% on the price usually observed. It is currently the best product in our comparison.
Apple’s Mac Studio is the first computer equipped with the M1 Ultra chip, which promises very good performance in an ultimately very compact case, all in marble silence.
With the Mac Studio and its M1 Ultra, Apple still signs a particularly interesting machine. Its performance is good, especially with hardware-accelerated applications, although the high-end AMD and Intel latest generation processors and Nvidia RTX 30-series graphics cards are generally faster. Future optimization of 3D rendering and video post-production software might, however, reduce the current gap. The feat is mainly to be found in its compact format, its silent operation and its controlled consumption, for the moment unequaled.
Points forts
Exemplary finishes. Good performance overall. Compact housing. Ultra quiet. Low energy consumption. Complete connection. Excellent quality headphone output.
Weak points
Raw performance lags behind competitive high-end CPUs and GPUs. Difficult to dismantle and not scalable.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
An alternative
The Apple Mac Studio M2 Max (2023) is a more than convincing desktop computer, or rather a workstation. It retains the qualities of the previous model with impeccable finishes, exemplary operating silence, all in a compact case. But it also keeps its flaws, namely zero scalability and raw performance below what is offered in the x86 PC world.
