Where can I buy a Mac Studio?

In the US, you always can buy a new Mac directly from Apple, but you often can get a better deal by buying your new Mac Studio from an Apple Authorized Reseller like site sponsor Adorama. Adorama commonly has deep discounts on recently discontinued models, too.

In the US, for used and refurbished Macs, try site sponsor Other World Computing for bargain prices with free shipping.

In the UK, site sponsor Hoxton Macs sells a good selection of used Macs, including Mac Studio models, with a one-year warranty and free next working day delivery.

Where can I sell a Mac Studio?

Like selling anything else, you generally can make the most money by selling a Mac Studio directly on an online auction or classified site, but doing so is time consuming and may or may not be worth the hassle for you.

If you need to sell a Mac Studio, consider A+ BBB-rated site sponsor Cash for Your Mac. Cash for Your Mac provides an instant cash offer and free and insured FedEx shipping.

Who designed the Mac Studio?

Of course, all of Apple's Macs have been designed by hundreds of hardworking employees, but the company's industrial design for many years has been performed entirely in-house by Apple's Industrial Design Group, currently headed by Evans Hankey.

For the Mac Studio's underlying technology, Apple's "Hardware Technologies" group, led by Johny Srouji, deserves a great deal of credit, as well.
