First Mac Studio (2025) Reviews are Out: Yes, It’s Fast
Tomorrow is the launch of Apple’s updated Mac Studio, which will debut alongside the new M3 iPad Air, iPad 11 (with A16), and M4 MacBook Air.
What’s super confusing about this year’s Mac Studio update is Apple added the M4 Max, but also added the M3 Ultra, with the latter being a faster upgrade over the former. Talk about confusing for the average consumer. Apple should have called the M3 Ultra the M4 Ultra SE or something, just to keep the M4 naming scheme across the board.
Nonetheless, the first curated media reviews are out, and they say this is as expected, a blazing fast update for the Mac Studio, which is geared towards professionals.
