We got an early unboxing of the 2026 Mac Studio, and Apple packed serious internal upgrades into this compact workstation. 🤖🚨 Powered by either the M5 Max or the new M5 Ultra chip with up to a 36-core CPU and 80-core GPU, it delivers up to 4.3x faster local AI performance and significantly faster graphics rendering than previous generations. It supports up to 512GB of unified memory – with 512GB configs rolling out in late October – alongside Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thunderbolt 5. 🔋 The Mac Studio is available tomorrow starting at $2,499 for M5 Max and $5,499 for M5 Ultra. #MacStudio #AppleSilicon #M5Ultra #M5Max #Unboxing
