Apple’s just-released M2 Max Mac Studio sees first discount to $1,859 in open-box condition (Save $140)

Back at the start of the month with WWDC, Apple took to its stage in Cupertino to reveal the new second-generation Mac Studio. Now rocking the latest in Apple Silicon with an M2 Max chip under the hood, the all-new release is seeing its first discount for those who don’t mind taking the open-box route. Courtesy of Best Buy, the retailer is offering the new M2 Max Mac Studio in its signature Open-Box Excellent condition for *$1,858.99 shipped*. You’ll have to scroll down to the Buying Options section towards the bottom of the listing page in order to add this to your cart and lock-in the savings. That’s down from the usual $1,999 price tag in order to deliver $140 in savings. It’s the first cash discount we’ve seen and a new all-time low, too.

Apple’s all-new M2 Max Mac Studio comes outfitted with the latest in Apple Silicon that starts with a higher-end 12-core CPU than its predecessor. There’s the same 16-core Neural engine on board, as well as improved performance in the GPU, as well. It sits within the same taller form-factor as before, which enables the inclusion of some added I/O like four Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-C slots, 10Gb Ethernet jack, and more. If you’re not even thinking about that shiny new Mac Pro, but still need a higher-end machine from Apple, the new M2 Max Mac Studio is easily the best bet, especially with some extra savings attached.
