If you can afford to really spend a lot on a new video rendering machine this year (or you can expense it), the Mac Studio M3 Ultra has the potential to be an absolute beast of a production machine. The base $3,999 model has the M3 Ultra chip sporting a 32-core CPU and an 80-core GPU, with 96GB of RAM and a basic 1TB of storage to start.

Along with the MacBook Airs launched alongside the Studio, preorders start today and begin shipping March 12. Entry-configuration pricing remains the same, starting at $1,999, although the base (M4 Max) configuration has a bit more memory (36GB vs. 32GB). The Ultra's based memory is 96GB and maxes out at a nice 512GB.
