In the US, there are currently two officially refurbished Mac Studio models, one with the M1 Max chip (10-core CPU and 24-core GPU) for $1,799 ($1,999 brand new), and one with the M1 Ultra chip (20-core CPU and 48-core GPU) for $3,599 ($3,999 brand new), or $200 and $400 cheaper, respectively. More configuration versions may be added over time.

Apple says every certified refurbished Mac is thoroughly functionally tested, thoroughly cleaned and inspected, and repackaged in a new box with a manual and power cord. Apple’s refurbished products come with Apple’s one-year limited warranty and 14-day return policy and are eligible for AppleCare+ coverage, which is $169 for AppleCare+ for Mac Studio.

Moreover, the Mac Studio, released in March 2022, has holes on the back and bottom of the fuselage for air circulation. With up to a 20-core CPU and 64-core GPU, Mac Studio is the fastest Mac ever, according to benchmarks.

On the back of the Mac Studio, there are four Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-A ports, an HDMI port, a 10 Gigabit Ethernet port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack that supports high-impedance headphones. On the front, there’s an SD card slot, and either two USB-C ports or two Thunderbolt 4 ports, depending on the configuration.
