Great machine.  Would be next level if the could/would re-engineer it slightly to add easily user upgradeable off the shelf storage (2 or more free slots).

If you look at the teardowns you’ll see that would have to make it a completely different product, one that experience suggests Apple isn’t likely to make.

The (few) people who need the particular features the Mac Pro has to offer probably know that, and aren’t seriously considering a Studio.

The M3 Ultra Studio is faster at most tasks than the M4 Max, but not by all that much. I don’t think that most buyers would choose to pay the premium for that fairly slim edge. Where the M3 Ultra Studio comes into its own is for workloads requiring massive amounts of RAM. These include AI development, large scale data science, complex engineering simulations, and other things I know nothing about. Again, those users will know that’s what they need and find the choice straightforward. All they have to figure out is how to get it paid for!

And we can tell that these are wireless by...the wires hanging from them?
