Product Overview

Apple Mac Studio with M5 Ultra chip MHL74X/A is a tremendously powerful pro desktop. The M5 Ultra chip enables remarkable on-device AI compute. Blast through creative projects and professional workflows with the advanced graphics architecture and faster memory and storage.

Unlock extreme performance for demanding tasks with M5 Ultra which fuses two M5 Max chips into one. Get a boost with a next-generation CPU, a more powerful GPU with third-generation ray tracing and a Neural Accelerator built into each GPU core. You can easily colour-grade uncompressed 8K footage or run computational fluid dynamics. Up to 1.2TB/s memory bandwidth for more speed when processing massive datasets, complex 3D scenes and inference in AI workflows. And up to 2x faster storage(1) expedites tasks like dense file transfers and loading large projects.

Apple silicon and every major component that powers it is designed to run demanding AI workflows like training frontier-class models directly on device. Features six Thunderbolt 5 ports with ultra-high bandwidth for linking models in clustered AI compute or PCIe expansion. Includes two USB-A ports, an HDMI port, an SDXC card slot, a headphone jack and the ability to connect up to eight external displays. It also features the Apple-designed N1 wireless chip for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6(2).

The compact 7.7-inch-square Mac Studio fits perfectly under most displays. An advanced thermal system lets you fly through intensive tasks while keeping Mac Studio quiet, so it never interferes with your workflow. macOS runs apps lightning-fast with its advanced operating system. It features Siri AI(3), a capable assistant with personal context understanding and broad world knowledge, and Apple Intelligence(4) seamlessly integrated into everyday apps and experiences. And with window tiling, Sidecar and more, you can stay productive. Mac works like magic with other Apple devices. View and control what’s on iPhone from Mac with iPhone Mirroring(5) or copy something on iPhone and paste it on Mac.

Things to consider

This desktop is built for high-end workloads, so it may be overkill for basic browsing, office tasks or light study compared with more affordable desktop options.

Creative professional suitability

9.5/10 - Excellent fit for video, audio, photography, 3D and other pro content workflows that benefit from sustained desktop-class performance.

Home office fit

Very good for advanced home offices and studio desks, but more power than most everyday admin and web-based work requires.

Upgrade flexibility score

3/10 - Strong out-of-box performance, but limited internal upgrade flexibility compared with traditional tower desktops.

Noise level vs category average

8.5/10 - Quieter than many high-performance desktops, making it well suited to focused creative and office environments.

All-in-one convenience

No - this is a compact desktop only, so you will need a separate monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Key benefits

  • M5 Ultra performance: Handles demanding creative, technical and AI-focused workloads with the headroom needed for heavy multitasking and advanced professional projects.
  • Compact desktop design: Fits neatly under most displays, making it easier to build a powerful workstation without taking over desk space.
  • Six Thunderbolt 5 ports: Gives you ultra-high-bandwidth connectivity for fast external storage, pro accessories and complex desktop setups.
  • Up to eight external displays support: Ideal for advanced editing, trading, production or development setups that benefit from lots of screen space.
  • Quiet thermal system: Stays unobtrusive during intensive work, which is especially useful in audio, editing and shared office environments.
  • Built-in SDXC card slot: Makes it easier for photographers and videographers to transfer media without needing an extra adapter.
  • Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6: Supports modern wireless networking and accessory connections for a cleaner, more flexible workspace.
  • macOS and Apple ecosystem integration: Works smoothly with iPhone and other Apple devices to streamline everyday tasks across your setup.

Q: Can I upgrade the RAM or storage later on?

A: No. Apple Mac Studio is a fixed 96GB memory and 1TB storage configuration, so it suits buyers choosing their long-term spec up front. Expansion is mainly external through Thunderbolt 5 rather than internal RAM, GPU or drive upgrades.

Q: What comes in the box with this Mac Studio?

A: Apple Mac Studio includes the desktop unit and a power cord. You will need to add your own display, keyboard and mouse or trackpad before first use, so it is not an all-in-one setup for a desk straight out of the box.

Q: Will it work with my USB-A accessories and SD cards?

A: Yes. Apple Mac Studio has 2 USB-A ports for older accessories and an SDXC UHS-II card slot on the front for camera media. Thunderbolt 5 handles newer USB-C gear, but some legacy display connections may still need an adapter.

Q: Can I use HDMI and Thunderbolt displays at once?

A: Yes. Apple Mac Studio includes HDMI 2.1 and multiple Thunderbolt 5 ports, so you can mix common monitor types on the same machine. The exact setup depends on each screen's resolution, refresh rate and available input on the monitor.

Q: Does this Mac Studio have room for internal expansion?

A: No. Apple Mac Studio is not a modular tower with internal drive bays or add-in card slots for routine user upgrades. Its expansion is mostly external through the front and rear ports, which suits storage, displays and peripherals better than internal changes.

Q: Is wireless networking built in, or do I need adapters?

A: Yes. Apple Mac Studio has Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 built in, so it can join a wireless network and pair with supported accessories without extra adapters. Wireless speed still depends on your router and whether your region supports Wi-Fi 7.
