This update of EveryMac.com features complete details, identifiers, and benchmarks for the new Mac mini and Mac Studio models as well as comprehensive updates to the Mac mini Q&A and Mac Studio Q&A. EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup has been updated, too.

EveryMac.com also has migrated to a new server; everything should be at least 25% faster. A special thank you to site sponsor WebMate for their diligence hosting the site.

The Mac mini Q&A answers "What are all the differences between the Mac mini 'M5 Pro' and 'M6'? Which is actually faster?" and "What size-specific, designed-to-stack external storage options are available for the Mac mini?" and many other questions about Apple's smallest Mac.

The Mac Studio Q&A answers "What are all the differences between the Mac Studio 'M5 Max' and 'M5 Ultra'? Is the faster option worth what it costs?" and "Is it still possible to upgrade the internal storage in the Mac Studio?" and a variety of other questions about Apple's most powerful Mac.

EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup has been updated with additional identifiers for Macs and devices from hands-on inspection and submissions by helpful readers. Thank you very much to those who contribute info. It's appreciated always.

If you bought, or buy, a new Mac mini or Mac Studio, please get in touch and send in its identifiers. Non-personal information can be added to EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup to help with model identification and differentiation. Thank you.

For those interested in saving money, site sponsor OWC has used and refurbished Mac mini and Mac Studio models, including just discontinued options, but only while supplies last.
