Apple Announces M1 Ultra CPU, Mac Studio and Studio Display

I don’t like it, I’m incredibly disappointed it’s not a cube!.

Hey, it's closer to a cube than the Mini, right? It just needs to be 4 inches taller.

Be thankful they didn't reuse the old TC MP form factor.

This is another disappointing product reveal by Apple imo, complete letdown, Apple can no longer innovate. If it was a cube it would be on a different level, it looks over weight and dumply!.

Mac Mini Studio at $1999 is really cheap actually. When you compare Z690 hackintosh with an AMD GPU, the GPU itself costs almost $1500. And the the Mac Mini is a lot faster.

I don't think that, the Mac Studio 1999usd has the M1 Max GPU, and that GPU performs like a RX 6600, I have one and I can tell that. The RX 6600 cost like 500/600usd. The RX 6900 XT cost 1500usd and the M1 Ultra suppose to have that level of performance. I think you are a bit confuse... In other hand, with a lot less than 1999usd you can build a hackintosh that performs the same or better. The 10 core Apple Silicon perform lower than a Core i5 12600K, as I said I have a M1 Max and 2 Hackintoshes and I did a lot of testing. In other hand the Max Out M1 Ultra is interesting, but a Hackintosh that performs almost the same (Core i9 12900K, RX 6900 XT 16GB, 128GB RAM DDR5, NVME 2TB Pcie Gen 4) still will have a much lower price for sure!!!

OK, why is Studio with M1 Ultra 2 lbs heavier?

IMHO you should replay the stream. What I saw was a Mac Studio advertised with an M1 Max for $1999 and another with a M1 Ultra for $3999.

Harder to pick up when the fans are running?

More difficult for the grab and run thieves in San Fran.

It looks interesting, but it's really a lot of money for a machine with no user-replaceable components.
Still, if I could afford the version I'd need, I'd probably buy one.
