Mac Studio With Massive 512GB RAM Facing Two-Week Delivery Delay

Money can buy an ultra-fast Mac, but it cannot buy ultra-fast delivery, apparently.

Mac Studio 2025
Apple's new Mac Studio with M4 Max and M3 Ultra chip options began arriving to customers today, but the highest-end model is facing delays.

If you order a maxed-out Mac Studio with a 32-core M3 Ultra chip, 512GB of unified RAM, and 16TB of SSD storage on Apple's online store today, the mind-boggling $14,099 configuration will not arrive until late March. Unsurprisingly, it is the massive 512GB of RAM upgrade option that seems to be causing the longer wait here.

If ordered today, that configuration is estimated for delivery between March 26 and March 31, so there is currently a two- to three-week wait.

Thanks, Paul!

If you have $14k to buy a computer, I am sure you can have some fun doing donuts in your Lambo or something until it arrives.

OR, hear me out, someone is actually making MONEY with his computer so he buys it on credit or pays for it as a business expense with business savings. I know, absolutely wild idea ?

I strongly suspect that Apple will be building this particular and ultimate Mac Studio configuration to order. That would easily explain a delivery delay of two weeks or so.
