Mac Studio reviews (2023)

Jason Snell from Six Colors shares Mac Studio M2 Max and Ultra benchmarks, and indicates that the computer is “always the champ”. We can see the Geekbench test for one core and all processor cores, as well as the test of Metal and Xcode.

He adds that the new Mac Studio is always quiet. On this subject, he specifies that Apple has modified the cooling system. This eliminates the white noise produced by the first generation Mac Studio. This noise concerned some customers and not all.

Ars-Technica joins him in terms of silence, even with big tasks in progress. “It performs well, it’s super quiet, it fits just about anywhere, and it’s the rare Apple computer to put the ports up front where they’re actually accessible”says the site.

For Engadgetthe new Mac Studio is the ideal computer for advanced users.

TechCrunch agrees, explaining that the Mac Studio excels at giving professionals Mac Pro performance that the Mac mini can’t, without demanding the price of a Mac Pro.
