Apple Mac Studio M5 Max with 128GB memory
This configuration combines a 40-core GPU with 614GB/s of memory bandwidth and 128GB of unified memory. The CPU has six super cores and twelve performance cores, while a 16-core Neural Engine and GPU Neural Accelerators support machine-learning workloads. That combination suits work involving large creative assets, complex scenes and local AI tools. Its 2TB SSD provides internal storage for applications and project files, while the 19.7cm-square enclosure leaves room on the desk for a display, input devices and audio equipment.
Dedicated media engines
Hardware acceleration covers H.264, HEVC, ProRes and ProRes RAW, with AV1 decoding also supported. A video decode engine, two video encode engines and two ProRes encode/decode engines handle supported media workloads alongside the CPU and GPU.
Up to five external displays
Arrange a workspace across Thunderbolt and HDMI connections. M5 Max supports up to five external displays, including four at up to 6K 60Hz and a fifth at up to 5K 60Hz over HDMI. Resolution and refresh-rate combinations determine the supported display count.
Connections for studio audio
Connect headphones directly through the 3.5mm jack, which includes advanced support for high-impedance models. A built-in speaker handles local audio playback, and HDMI supports multichannel output. USB-A and Thunderbolt ports provide connection options for compatible audio interfaces and controllers.
Front access, Thunderbolt 5 at the back
The two front USB-C ports run at up to 10Gb/s, alongside a UHS-II SDXC card slot for importing camera media. At the back, four Thunderbolt 5 ports support bandwidth up to 120Gb/s, alongside two USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1, 10Gb Ethernet and the headphone jack. Keep frequently changed cards and devices within reach while routing the main display and network connections behind the computer. Wireless connectivity comes from Apple's N1 chip, with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and Thread networking.
