Preorder
The new Mac Studio is available for preorder now, with expected availability on June 13.
Great, I just bought the old one last week for my fiancée for studio recording. Freaking Apple.
Apple will accept it's return and then sell you the new model, I've done this with a past MBP.
Who's fault was that? It is not like Apple kept it a secret.
