What reviewers said about another configuration of the Mac Studio (M1 Ultra, 2022)

0 reviews of this exact model; 2 of a sibling configuration (same chassis; a different chip or size, or the review does not state this Mac’s base chip with its CPU and GPU core counts), used for design topics only. Quotes are short, word for word, and each links to the article it came from. Every one was checked against that article on . MacIQ gives no score and no stars, and averages nothing.

None of the 2 reviews on this page tests this exact model, so this page is not offered to search engines. Nothing is added to make up the number.

What reviewers raise

A count of the reviews we quote on this page that have a quote on each topic, from the findings shown below. A review may say more on a topic than we quote, so it counts what is quoted here, not everything each review covers, and it says how often a topic is quoted, not what was said about it. Battery, performance and heat are counted over the 0 reviews of this exact model.

Where reviewers and Apple differ

No reviewer’s own figure on this page can be set beside an Apple claim for the same kind of test, so nothing is compared here.

The reviews

Newest first, in the order of the date each article prints (which may be an update date, not a first-publication date). Each quote links to its article; the date is the one the article prints, labelled as the article labels it. “Published” and “Updated” appear only where the article prints that word beside the date; “Dated” means the article prints that date with no label, so the date itself does not say whether it is the first publication or an update. A later update that an article mentions only in an editor’s note is not used as its date.

The Verge

Reviewed: Mac Studio M1 Ultra (20-core CPU, 64-core GPU, 128GB unified memory) and M1 Max (10-core CPU, 32-core GPU, 64GB unified memory, 2TB storage)

This is a different configuration of the same chassis. Only its comments on design are quoted here; its battery, performance and heat findings belong to the chip it tested.

Ports

There are actually ports on the front, including an SD card slot, which is a huge benefit for creative professionals.

Ars Technica

Reviewed: Mac Studio M1 Max and Mac Studio M1 Ultra (the maxed-out versions with 32 and 64 GPU cores and 64GB and 128GB of memory)

This is a different configuration of the same chassis. Only its comments on design are quoted here; its battery, performance and heat findings belong to the chip it tested.

Build and design

The external expandability is important because the Studio’s internal components can’t be upgraded after you buy it.
