We will have a new Mac machine to look forward to, as a result of Apple's Peek Performance event. The new Mac Studio can be equipped with either the M1 Max or the new M1 Ultra. The Mac Studio has a number of options for connecting to the internet.
The 2020 version of the Mac Mini is very similar to the Mac Studio. The Mac Mini offered an appealing price for the power it offered, and thanks in part to the M1CPU, provided blazing performance.
The Apple Mac Pro was reviewed by Nilay Patel of The Verge. That incredibly expensive desktop was marketed towards power users that can effectively harness the power it brings to the table.
The chart below shows how the brand new M1 Max and M1 Ultra configurations of the Mac Studio stack up against the Mac Mini and the Mac Pro.
