The \u200cMac Studio\u200c starts at $2,499 and rises to $5,499 for the M5 Ultra model, while the \u200cMac mini\u200c starts at $899 with the M6 chip and $1,699 with the M5 Pro.<\/p>\n<p>Those prices come on top of the across-the-board Mac and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/roundup\/ipad\/\">iPad<\/a> increases Apple made in June, which took the \u200cMac mini\u200c from $599 to $799, the M4 Pro configuration from $1,399 to $1,599, and the \u200cMac Studio\u200c from $1,999 to $2,499. The M5 Ultra adds a further $200 to the post-June M3 Ultra price, putting it $1,500 above what the M3 Ultra cost at launch.<\/p>\n<p>Our guide helps to answer the question of how to decide which of these two desktop Macs is best for you. The two machines now share a large number of key features, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A boxy silver aluminum enclosure with no color options<\/li>\n<li>Apple&#8217;s N1 chip, bringing Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 to both machines for the first time<\/li>\n<li>Neural Accelerators built into every GPU core<\/li>\n<li>Hardware-accelerated ray tracing<\/li>\n<li>A Media Engine with hardware-accelerated H.264, HEVC, ProRes, and ProRes RAW, plus AV1 decode<\/li>\n<li>A next-generation SSD architecture that Apple says is up to twice as fast as before<\/li>\n<li><a

mini\u200c over the M5 Max \u200cMac Studio\u200c, saving $800 on the base models. The gap widens across custom configurations, since the \u200cMac Studio\u200c&#8217;s memory and storage tiers start higher and climb further.<\/p>\n<p>There is an unusual situation at the bottom of the lineup this year. The $899 \u200cMac mini\u200c is the only machine of the four with a latest-generation chip, and the M6 is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/08\/25\/apple-reveals-m6\/\">Apple&#8217;s first 2nm chip<\/a>. Its Dual 16-core Neural Engine, which Apple says system frameworks can drive simultaneously, is also more Neural Engine hardware than either the M5 Pro or the M5 Max provides. If your workload leans on on-device machine learning rather than sustained CPU or GPU throughput, the cheapest Mac in this comparison is not obviously the weakest one for the task. The trade-offs are Thunderbolt 4 rather than Thunderbolt 5, a 32GB memory and 2TB storage ceiling, and a single video encode engine.<\/p>\n<p>You should only consider the \u200cMac Studio\u200c if you have a professional workflow that can genuinely leverage the M5 Max or the M5 Ultra, along with the additional ports, display outputs, and memory capacity. If you need the \u200cMac Studio\u200c, you will likely already know that you are looking for a highly powerful machine capable of supporting a specific intense workload. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/08\/25\/apple-debuts-m5-ultra\/\">M5 Ultra<\/a> is Apple&#8217;s first quad-die M-series chip, and its four ProRes engines, four video encode engines, and 1.2TB\/s of memory bandwidth are aimed squarely at multi-stream video work and large local AI models. The 512GB memory ceiling has no equivalent anywhere else in the Mac lineup, and it is what allows models with hundreds of billions of parameters to run entirely on device.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200cMac Studio\u200c still has a superior selection of ports, with four rear Thunderbolt 5 ports on the M5 Max and six in total on the M5 Ultra, plus an SDXC card slot, USB-A, and 10Gb Ethernet as standard. This makes a practical difference for anyone working off fast external storage or camera media. The \u200cMac mini\u200c has closed part of the distance by moving to 2.5Gb Ethernet as standard, up from Gigabit.<\/p>\n<p>Clustering over Thunderbolt 5 and RDMA is not a point of difference between the two machines, since it arrived in macOS 26.2 last December and works on any Mac with Thunderbolt 5, including the M5 Pro \u200cMac mini\u200c and the previous-generation \u200cMac Studio\u200c. The exception is the M6 \u200cMac mini\u200c, which has Thunderbolt 4 and cannot take part.<\/p>\n<p>Both \u200cMac mini\u200c models still cap out at three external displays, but they now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/08\/26\/new-mac-mini-bumps-display-refresh-rates\/\">reach 165Hz at 4K<\/a>, up from 144Hz on the M4 generation, and the M5 Pro model drives all three through a single Thunderbolt port. For a three-display desk setup at high refresh rates, the M5 Pro \u200cMac mini\u200c is sufficient. It is only above three displays, or at 6K and 8K, that the \u200cMac Studio\u200c becomes necessary.<\/p>\n<p>A notable exception arises at the top of the \u200cMac mini\u200c lineup. An M5 Pro \u200cMac mini\u200c configured with additional memory and storage moves close enough to the $2,499 \u200cMac Studio\u200c that the comparison changes somewhat. For an increment of a few hundred dollars, the \u200cMac Studio\u200c substitutes a chip with roughly twice the memory bandwidth, a second video encode engine, far greater display support, and headroom to 128GB of unified memory. If you are already spending heavily on a \u200cMac mini\u200c, price the \u200cMac Studio\u200c before committing.<\/p>\n<p>If you plan to keep the machine for many years, the \u200cMac Studio\u200c&#8217;s ceiling matters more than its starting price, because it is the only one of the two that can be configured beyond 64GB of unified memory. Buyers weighing the M6 \u200cMac mini\u200c against the M5 Pro \u200cMac mini\u200c should note that the newer chip generation and the newer process node both sit in the cheaper machine, and that the M5 Pro&#8217;s advantages are concentrated in multi-core and graphics performance rather than in longevity.<\/p>\n<p>To some extent, purchasing decisions should be driven by budget, but any savings on the computer itself can be put toward a good external display such as Apple&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/roundup\/studio-display\/\">Studio Display<\/a>, which starts from $1,599 and was one of the few products spared June&#8217;s price rises. An M6 \u200cMac mini\u200c paired with a \u200cStudio Display\u200c comes to $2,498, a dollar less than a bare M5 Max \u200cMac Studio\u200c with nothing to plug into. An M5 Pro \u200cMac mini\u200c and a \u200cStudio Display\u200c together come to $3,298, which is $799 more than the base \u200cMac Studio\u200c and $2,201 less than the M5 Ultra \u200cMac Studio\u200c with no display at all.<\/p>\n<p>Both machines are available to pre-order now and arrive on Tuesday, September 22, with education pricing of $799 and $1,599 on the two \u200cMac mini\u200c models and $2,299 and $5,099 on the two \u200cMac Studio\u200c models. \u200cMac Studio\u200c configurations with 512GB of unified memory are not due until late October.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple announced new Mac mini and Mac Studio models last month, with both available to pre-order now.
