Apple Mac Studio M5 Max (18/32) 36GB, 512GB - desktop

The Mac Studio with M5 Max is a compact powerhouse built for creative professionals, developers, and anyone running AI workloads on their own desk. At its core is Apple's M5 Max chip with an 18-core CPU — 6 super cores and 12 performance cores — paired with a 32-core GPU that has Neural Accelerators built into every core, delivering dramatically faster on-device AI performance alongside third-generation hardware-accelerated ray tracing for realistic lighting, reflections, and shadows in 3D and VFX work. The 16-core Neural Engine and 460 GB/s of memory bandwidth keep machine learning tasks moving quickly, while 36 GB of unified memory allows demanding applications to run side by side without compromise. The 512 GB SSD uses a next-generation architecture with up to twice the speed of the previous generation, so large projects and model files load rapidly.

Despite its immense power, the Mac Studio keeps its signature compact form factor and fits comfortably on any desk. Its advanced thermal design keeps the system running quietly, even under sustained heavy workloads. The Media Engine handles hardware-accelerated H.264, HEVC, ProRes, and ProRes RAW along with AV1 decode, making it straightforward to color-grade uncompressed 8K footage and work with multiple concurrent video streams. Extensive connectivity includes four Thunderbolt 5 ports with up to 120 Gb/s of bandwidth, two USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1, 10 Gb Ethernet, and a headphone jack, plus two front USB-C ports and an SDXC card slot for fast media offloads. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 arrive via the Apple-designed N1 chip, and support for up to five external displays makes this an ideal centrepiece for a multi-screen professional setup.
