Apple Z1U4000EM Mac Studio Desktop M5 Max 64GB Unified Memory 2TB SSD in Silver
The Apple Z1U4000EM Mac Studio desktop computer pairs the M5 Max chip's 18-core CPU and 40-core GPU with 64GB unified memory and a 2TB SSD.1 Four rear Thunderbolt 5 ports connect a professional workstation, with support for up to five external displays depending on resolution and connections. The compact silver enclosure is designed for quiet cooling during intensive work. Built for RAW photo processing, large software builds, real-time 3D work and local language models, this desktop brings creative production and development to macOS.
Key Features
M5 Max For Creative Work And Local AI
Move from motion graphics and graphics rendering to running language models locally. Neural Accelerators and a 16-core Neural Engine support on-device AI tools, while hardware-accelerated ray tracing serves 3D workflows.
For 8K video editing, the Media Engine supplies hardware acceleration for H.264, HEVC, ProRes and ProRes RAW. Two video encode engines and two ProRes encode and decode engines handle media processing, with AV1 decoding also supported.
64GB Unified Memory For Production Work
With 614GB/s memory bandwidth, the unified memory supports demanding creative and development workflows. Internal SSD storage gives project files and media a local home as you move from one stage of production to the next.
Four Rear Thunderbolt 5 Ports
Build out a workstation with high-bandwidth peripherals, display connections and external PCIe expansion. The rear panel also provides two USB-A ports and HDMI 2.1, giving existing accessories and display hardware their own connection options.
Front USB-C And UHS-II SDXC Access
Bring camera media into the workflow through the front UHS-II SDXC card slot, and attach peripherals to two front USB-C ports rated up to 10Gb/s. These accessible connections keep frequent media-card and accessory swaps within reach, rather than behind the computer.
Support For Up To Five External Displays
Arrange four external displays at up to 6K at 60Hz, plus a fifth at up to 5K at 60Hz over HDMI. For a higher-resolution setup, connect two displays at up to 8K at 60Hz with a third at up to 5K at 60Hz over HDMI. The supported arrangement depends on display resolution and connections.
Compact Design With Quiet Cooling
The silver enclosure fits beneath many displays, leaving room for the rest of a creative setup. Its thermal system is designed for intensive professional workloads and quiet operation, bringing cooling and compact design together for studio work.
10Gb Ethernet And Wi-Fi 7
Choose 10Gb Ethernet for a wired studio or clustered workstation, or use Wi-Fi 7 for wireless networking.2 The Apple N1 wireless networking chip also supports Bluetooth 6 and Thread networking technology.
macOS And Accessible Interaction
macOS provides the desktop environment and professional-app support for creative and development work. Accessibility features including VoiceOver, Zoom, Voice Control and Switch Control let you adapt how you read, navigate and interact with the computer.
