I've tested the Apple Mac Studio M4 Max, and it's clearly just gotten better

The M4 Max makeover has it looking better and working faster than ever before.

Do you ever play the Apple Store game? It’s where you pick a Mac and add upgrade after upgrade, trying to get it to the highest price possible. The Mac Pro was always the king of this game, especially when Apple was offering things like Afterburner and fibre channel cards, but a Mac Studio can be built that costs over £14,000 before you start adding software.
That model comes with 512GB of RAM, which for those of us who once believed no one would need more than 640KB looks like an enormous number. The Mac Studio we have here for review has a much more reasonable 128GB alongside its 16-core M4 Max, with a 1TB SSD, but it’s still a complete monster in a compact outer shell that has to be the dream computer for any kind of creative work.
