Apple Mac Studio M4 Max & M4 Ultra

The Mac Studio M4 Max/M4 Ultra will be the best choice for an Apple 2025 desktop for majority of musicians and creators

Apple Mac Studio M4 Max $1999.00 ??? – M4 Ultra $3999.00 ??? minimum per processor type

If you’re a serious pro or amateur musician, you really want the Apple Mac Studio M2 Max & M2 Ultra or the Apple MacBook Pro M3 Pro & M3 Max. A large music and/or video recording studio without budget restraints or someone who must have PCIe slot expansion may want to consider the Apple Mac Pro M2 Ultra. These are the three best computers for creatives you can buy today.

If you absolutely must spend less than $1999.00, consider buying used, refurbished or consumer level Macs like the Macbook Air, iMac or Mac mini. To suggest buying less than an Apple M Series system is bad advice. Also see notes below in the Unified Memory section.

See: Apple Silicon is the DAW standard.

M4 Series Mac Studio could be announced by June 2025 or earlier

According to Mark Gurman, there will be “A Mac Studio with a high-end M4 chip, coming around the middle of 2025”. If there is no M3 Max/Ultra Mac Studio release, this makes little sense to me. I just find it hard to imagine Apple will let the Mac Studio and Mac Pro stagnate for until the middle of June.

So, the M4 Series Mac Studio could be announced by June 2025 or possibly a year earlier at the the WWDC in June 2024. Apple of course, is notoriously tight-lipped. Time will tell.

Information will be posted as it becomes available
