For Apple fans who have been waiting for the brand to appear with discounts from desktop computer deals, here’s your chance — the Apple Mac Studio M2 Max with a 512GB SSD is on sale from Best Buy with a $500 discount. It’s down from $1,799 to $1,299, which is still pretty expensive but actually a great price for this device. You need to hurry with your purchase though, as there’s no telling how much longer stocks will last for this offer.
The Apple Mac Studio M2 Max, released in 2023, has already been followed by the Apple Mac Studio M4 Max, which was rolled out earlier this year. The Apple Mac Studio M2 Max is far from obsolete though, as it’s still a powerful computer with Apple’s M2 Max chip, 30-core GPU, and 32GB of RAM. It’s going to be more than enough for graphics-intensive tasks, and it will prove to be an extremely valuable tool to boost your productivity.
You’ll be able to connect up to five external displays to the Apple Mac Studio M2 Max, which features a healthy collection of ports with four Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, an HDMI port, and a 10Gb Ethernet port. It even comes with an SDXC card slot and a headphone jack. However, despite all its capabilities, the Apple Mac Studio M2 Max is very compact, measuring just 7.7 inches for its length and width with a height of 3.7 inches. If you don’t want any clutter on your workstation, this is the mini computer that you should get.
The Apple Mac Studio M2 Max may not be the latest model of the mini desktop computer, but it still packs a punch by today’s standards. It’s also a tempting purchase right now from Best Buy, where you can purchase its 512GB SSD model for $1,299 instead of $1,799. We’re not sure how long you’ve got to take advantage of the savings of $500, but you should act fast because Apple deals almost always sell out quickly. Stocks of the Apple Mac Studio M2 Max may be gone as soon as tomorrow, so finalize your transaction immediately if you’re interested.
Did you think hitting delete on your AI chatbot conversation actually makes it disappear? Georgia Tech researchers just proved that's not entirely true. They have built a forensic tool called ORISA that can dig deleted conversations from your phone and even rebuild them into a working chatbot session you can keep talking to.
How can ORISA bring deleted AI conversations back?
Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
Two residents of Chicago have filed a lawsuit in the US over claims that robots run by Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics captured their facial and hand measurements without consent, bringing renewed attention to the food delivery robots. The cases raise a troubling question: If a robot delivers food to your door, can it also be gathering sensitive information about you?
According to a report by The Associated Press, the proposed class-action lawsuits were filed in Cook County on Oct. 9 and allege violations of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act. The complaints claim that the robots’ cameras and LiDAR sensors captured information on customers’ faces and hands as they approached the machines to pick up their orders. Both have denied the allegations.
