Mac Studio With Massive 512GB RAM Facing Two-Week Delivery Delay
Money can buy an ultra-fast Mac, but it cannot buy ultra-fast delivery, apparently.
Apple's new Mac Studio with M4 Max and M3 Ultra chip options began arriving to customers today, but the highest-end model is facing delays.
If you order a maxed-out Mac Studio with a 32-core M3 Ultra chip, 512GB of unified RAM, and 16TB of SSD storage on Apple's online store today, the mind-boggling $14,099 configuration will not arrive until late March. Unsurprisingly, it is the massive 512GB of RAM upgrade option that seems to be causing the longer wait here.
If ordered today, that configuration is estimated for delivery between March 26 and March 31, so there is currently a two- to three-week wait.
Thanks, Paul!
