Apple Mac Studio (2023) with M2 Max and M2 Ultra goes official in Nepal

Apple has launched the 2023 iteration of the Mac Studio. The Cupertino-based tech giant also unveiled Macbook Air 15, Vision Pro, and more in its most anticipated WWDC event. The cube-shaped desktop CPU is offered in two flagship chip options: M2 Max and M2 Ultra. In this article, we'll walk through the specs, features, and official price of Apple Mac Studio (2023) in Nepal.

Apple Mac Studio (2023) Overview:

Body and Design

In terms of design, Apple has not changed much here. The Max Studio (2023) arrives in the same cubical shape with a 3.7-inch height and measures 7.7-inch each side. Retaining the compact form factor, this desktop CPU takes quite a small space than traditional CPUs. The brand ships the Max Studio (2023) in the Silver color option only.

More Power with the M2 Max and M2 Ultra

The key USP of the Mac Studio is what's under the hood. It gets two chip options— M2 Max and M2 Ultra. The M2 Max is a 12-core CPU with a 38-core GPU and 16-core Neural Engine. It supports 400GB/s of unified memory bandwidth.

To compare, the Ultra version is twice as powerful with a 24-core CPU, 76-core GPU, and 32-core Neural Engine. It is basically the die of two M2 Max CPUs stacked together. This superfast silicon is 50% more powerful than the last-gen M1 Ultra thanks to 800GB/s of memory capacity. Furthermore, as for the memory options, the M2 Max comes with 32GB unified memory which is expandable up to 64GB. On the other hand, the M2 Ultra goes with 64GB unified memory that is configurable up to 192GB. Meanwhile, the storage options for the Max and M2 Ultra begin with 512GB SSD and 1TB SDD respectively. And it goes all the way up to a whopping 8TB.
