Hurry! Apple Mac Studio just hit its lowest price ever with £200 off but it won’t last forever

The Apple Mac Studio is the ultimate creative workstation, and while it won’t be for everyone – the power it offers is beyond what most people require – we’re big fans. It delivers the same level of performance previously found in desktop Mac Pros, but packed into a small, sleek body that looks not unlike a Mac mini.

If you were to buy a brand new Mac Studio from Apple, you’d be looking at spending a small fortune. The version powered by an M3 Ultra chip, with 96GB of unified memory and a 1TB SSD, will set you back £4,199. The Apple M4 Max version, with 36GB of unified memory and a 512GB SSD, is £2,099.

Now, Currys is currently selling an Apple Mac Studio with 32GB of RAM and 512GB of storage for just £1,299.97. We should point out that this model is powered by an M2 Max chip, but while that might be an older generation, it’s still a very capable machine.

Today’s best Apple Mac Studio deal

In our original review from late 2023, we described the Mac Studio with M2 Max as a compact powerhouse that offers impressive performance without the Mac Pro’s high price tag. At the time it was priced at $1,999 / £2,099 / AU$3,299.

The entry model includes a 12-core CPU, 30-core GPU, 32GB of unified memory, and a 512GB SSD. It outperformed the top-spec Mac mini at the time and will suit demanding creative and professional workflows.

With its sleek aluminum chassis, quiet fans, excellent port selection, and support for high-speed connectivity like Wi-Fi 6E and PCIe SSDs, it’s an outstanding entry in Apple’s desktop lineup.

We’ve since reviewed the Apple Mac Studio (M3 Ultra) if you want to see how that model compares.

For a different, but equally fair comparison, you might want to look at a new Mac mini – the modern equivalent of which is powered by an Apple M4 Pro chip with 24GB of unified memory and a 512GB SSD.

In our Mac mini M4 review, we gave this portable PC a much-coveted five stars – that’s how good it is. If you buy it direct from Apple, you’d expect to pay £1,399, which is £100 more than the powerful Mac Studio from Currys.
