Mac Studio

Apple's desktop box, bought for memory and cores rather than for a screen

Aluminum desktop Mac built on Apple's higher-end chips and sold without a display. It is what people buy when video, audio or running AI models locally outruns a laptop's memory, and plenty of owners sit it under a desk and never touch it, driving it from a laptop or tablet instead.
