If there is one thing that Apple do well, it’s building powerful machines in small, compact packages. And the Mac Studio M2 Ultra 2023 is no different. This machine is a refresh of last year's offering, and despite no changes in design, they have somehow managed to make it better. There are a couple of minor build tweaks, such as the latest version being able to handle a better display thanks to the upgraded HMDI port, and the Bluetooth has improved from 5.0 to 5.30.
But the real change is all down to one thing, the processor inside. The Mac Studio 2022 was configurable with the M1 Max and M1 Ultra. But this year, the upgraded M2 Max and M2 Ultra have taken it to the next level. I was lucky enough to try out the Mac Studio M2 Ultra with a whopping 128GB of RAM, 24‑core CPU, 60‑core GPU and a more than generous 4TB storage space. I tested this machine by replacing my Macbook Pro for a couple of weeks and did everything that I would normally do, from document creation to photo and video editing. I also put it through its paces by running a few benchmark tests to see just how well it worked.
