Definition: Mac Studio

Apple's newest Mac workstation. Introduced in 2022 with Apple's M1 chip, the Studio became Apple's flagship desktop computer, which can support up to four Apple XDR Pro Display monitors. The first Studio was more powerful than the last Intel-based Mac Pro, which was twice the price comparably equipped (see Mac Pro). See Intel Mac and Apple M series.
