Rare Amazon deal has Apple’s 32GB M2 Max Mac Studio w/ 30-Core GPU at $899 ($900 off, Renewed Premium)

Orig. $1,799/$899

Today we spotted a rare deal on Amazon for a Renewed Premium M2 Max Apple Mac Studio down at $899 shipped. This model launched with a $1,799 list price and still fetches as much brand new at Best Buy. It is also worth pointing out that this 32GB/512GB desktop machine is listed at $1,529 from the official Apple certified refurbished store. 

There have been a couple light drops on these Mac Studio models courtesy of Amazon previously, but they are generally quite rare and this M2 Max listing just recently popped up on Amazon for the first time in its higher-end Renewed Premium condition over the last month or so. 

Today’s deal is the lowest price we have ever tracked for this particularly machine coming straight from Amazon and offers up a ton of value by comparison to the prices on the current-generation M4 variants. 

For comparison’s sake, in brand new condition the current M4 Max starts at $1,999 and the M3 Ultra Apple still sells starts at $3,999. 

Now obviously we are talking about the 2023 M2 Max model and not the latest and greatest. But we are also talking about a Mac Studio with 32GB of RAM that is selling for less than the current-generation 24GB Mac mini – although it is on sale for $889 right now. That Mac mini also carries a 10-Core CPU/GPU combo by comparison to the 12-Core/30-Core setup in the Mac Studio we have here today. 

It is an M2 chip and not an M4, and you might notice the difference with an otherwise comparable machine. And while it all depends on the application to some degree, I’m betting not very many folks with 12-Core/30-Core horsepower running on 32GB of RAM with the M2 Max chip will.
