Apple began selling its latest desktop Macs on September 22. Mac mini is now available with M6 or M5 Pro, while Mac Studio comes with M5 Max or M5 Ultra. Both run macOS 27 and target workflows that need substantial CPU, graphics, and on-device AI performance.
For most buyers, Mac mini is the more relevant update: the base M6 model brings a major performance increase in a compact enclosure and starts at $899 in the United States. Mac Studio is aimed at professionals, with support for up to 512GB of unified memory, Thunderbolt 5, and demanding local AI, video, and 3D workloads. Pricing and availability outside the U.S. may differ, so buyers should check local authorized retailers.
