If this is true, it will be very disapointing that the Mac Studio M4 is released a whole year after iPad M4, when people is buying M5...
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman recently reported that the first Macs with M4 series chips will be released later this year, with more models to follow...

Many apps depend on single core, and buying a M3 6000USD screen/battery/keyboard-less machine this June, slower than an iPad in some task would be like the old Intel days where you should sacrifice cores per single core performance.
The alleged advantage you would get paying such a high price wouldnt match your real advantage in the market.
To be clear, buying a Mac Studio M2 today has no sense at all (unless obviously, you get a >20% discount or you really really need it for work). But for one just thinking in updating systems, the Mac Studio only has sense buying in at it release date (before next Macbook Pro
MPro/Max would be release 6 months later to match price and performance)
The real thing here would be
to release the Ultra the first one. The MSMax together with the ultra would be too beautiful to be true, and Apple wouldnt do that never as it would cannibalize MBP16" sales., But the Ultra is too far from the general public and is the Mac's flagship model. It belong to be the first.
