Introducing Mac Studio. A remarkably compact powerhouse that fits right on your desk with advanced connectivity for your studio setup. Choose the ferociously fast all-new M1 Ultra—the most powerful chip ever created for a computer.
A: Schooling - Elementary to High school, this is over kill. Business - basic business this is over kill. Gaming - virtually non-existent for any modern games. Modeling, creating, and art are the strong points of the system.
A: Not a dumb question, especially in light of the scant information on this site. The M1 Max model will support up to 4 6k monitors and a 4k TV.
A: The Studio does not have internally- or externally-accessible PCI slots. If you wish to use a UAD2 PCI card with the Studio, you will need to use a compatible external Thunderbolt to PCIe expansion chassis (see https://help.uaudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/205152283-Thunderbolt-to-PCIe-Expansion-Chassis-Compatibility-). I do not (yet) own a Mac Studio, but I do utilize a Sonnet Echo Express III-D to use my UAD Quad card with my 2018 Mac Mini, which works with zero issues. I have not yet seen any references to (in)compatibility of these units with the Studio, as it is so new, but I anticipate it will work just as well.
A: 50 GB of Music will easily fit on this. Not sure about the expandability of storage on this model. Depending on the amount of storage you need, you may need to expand this with external or cloud storage options.
A: Thunderbolt ports can also be used to drive displays using a Thunderbolt cable (for USB-C monitors) or a Thunderbolt-to-DisplayPort cable for older monitors. HDMI adapter cables are also available.
A: Absolutely. Compatible with everything that is out there via hdmi or thunderbolt. I have 3 4K monitors on mine.
