If it wasn't shared already, I am having my Standard Tilt Apple Studio Display converted (Apple calls it "upgraded") to a VESA mount which is what I needed. Unfortunately VESA mount studio displays are on backorder until september but I needed it urgently for my work.
The cost is:
$119 - VESA Mount Upgrade Kit
$79 - Hardware Repair - Level 1
$79 - Upgrade Fee
$277 Total (tax not included)
My local apple store in San Diego said I am the first customer to inquire and start the process. The apple genius tech who helped me didn't even know how to start the work order process. Took a phone call to the store which gave me the wrong information and then physically driving to the store and another 30 mins with manager to figure how to find it in their system. It was placed as a work authorizatiom upgrade and to arrive in 3-5 days and I bring it in to install.
i ordered it on Wed PM and it actually arrived today (2 days)
Thanks so much for the breakdown, I haven’t seen this before
@@TheEverydayDad You're welcome! Anything to help the community and to contribute to your channel as a fan of your work! 👍😀
I was received the VESA mount upgrade. Parts delivered to Apple in 2 days, however, they waited another 5 days for a specialty tool to come in (i actually knew about the new tool needed and "rounded 6 pointed star" screw head. I was surprised they didn't have the tool already since the release in March. And there other stores in San Diego didn't have it either. First customer in San Diego to do the upgrade process and it was successful and sexy!
Total price with CA Sales tax was $294.32.
Hopefully that helps anyone who needs the upgrade to VESA mount ASAP. 😁
Thanks for this info! If you remove the standard tilt stand and replace it with the VESA mount, can you reverse the process and put the tilt stand back on at a later date?
I’ve had mine since March 18th and it’s a fantastic display for working at home. It’s too expensive for the features but if you have the money and want a first party display that is less expensive than the Pro Display XDR, the studio display is fantastic.
WFH is exactly why I am considering this display. Good to know it suits that purpose!
I think you’re absolutely right that the Studio Display was something else in another life. I think it was a failed attempt to make a 27” iMac/iMac Pro. I suspect it had something to do with thermals regarding the M1 Ultra, so Apple had to go back to the drawing board, splitting up the 27” into the Mac Studio and a separate display. I think if Apple had only released the Mac Studio to replace the iMac, people would have been terribly upset, so rather than starting from scratch, Apple just reused their 27” iMac by replacing the logic board with one hosting an off-the-shelf part they were already using. They needed an A-series with Neural Engine to run Center Stage and Apple was still making the iPhone 11 and iPhone SE 2, so the A13 with 64GB was the natural choice.
In an iMac, this would have been considered impressive engineering. In just a monitor, it’s overkill and overengineering.
This is the most behind-the-curtain-of-Apple comment I’ve ever read. Makes a lot of sense and seems likely.
Zero issues with my studio display, it really is everything I wanted, well almost, I really want a Pro Display XDR, but it's outside my reach.
I’d love this option and a display only option. If we use three monitors we don’t need a camera and speakers in each
They could at least let them work with each other for surround sound audio and directional mic
Apple ditched display controls with the 2nd generation of the Cinema Displays starting in 2008 and with the Thunderbolt Display that followed. Nothing really new here as Apple's DNA is minimalist design.
As far as the power cord is concerned, how many times do people have to remove the cord from the display? I prefer having the power supply in the display vs having another power brick on the floor especially if your using a thunderbolt or usb-c hub which have external power bricks cluttering the floor.
If you're buying Apple stuff, you're always paying more unless you're buying refurbished items. Dell and HP displays are always less expensive but 4K and not 5K.
In closing, Apple users wanted a display similar to what was provided in the 27 inch iMac. Apple listened and delivered on this. If you don't like the price there are other options without the Apple design form factor.
Your point about overbuilt is valid but I think there’s a larger strategy here. They want to entice people away from iMacs and towards this display paired with the Mac Studio or Mac Mini. I actually think they might want to slowly phase out the iMac altogether. With desktop computers so compact and sleek compared with the bulky towers of yore, the all in one’s space saving advantage becomes minimal. And an all in one is a compromise offering laptop components in a desktop. But if you replace your iMac with this setup, you need to feel like you didn’t lose anything in the exchange. Hence the need for a built in camera and speakers just like iMacs have always had. So a no frills (and cheaper as a result) monitor just wasn’t going to happen.
I’m sorry but what part of north of 2k is ‘mid range’? Also, asking Apple to design a ‘less expensive’ version is akin to asking Mercedes if they could make a cheaper car that was the price and materials of a Vauxhall but still a Mercedes. In my view this monitor is great, but equally this is a luxury item. If you don’t need it, you can buy the cheaper alternatives. If you have the cash, enjoy it. Same as any luxury item really.
I have dual Studio Displays with the Nano-texture glass. I love them! I agree the most of your points but the screen looks great, the case looks great, it works great overall.
Totally agree. If they had just concentrated on the monitor and forgot the fancy speakers and Webcam which 'studio' users already have, and left out the A13 chip which is just more to go wrong they would have had a killer monitor ; thinner, thinner bezels, and an adjustable stand so that users don't get stung with an extra $400 just to save their neck pain. Missed opportunity .
Yeah it's been overengineered so that it can justified at a higher price.
So buy a LG or Dell monitor
Actually the webcam and the formidable speakers would be major reasons To buy it, because other Monitors don’t have it or really shitty ones and I‘m used to my Imac sound and look. No other monitor has that. You have to buy the cam extra which also costs money and looks shitty on top.
@@PattisKarriereKarten Agreed. The speakers alone are a huge selling point for my workflow. Less clutter!
Clearly you haven’t used the previous apple cinema and thunderbolt Displays. They’re exactly the same design choices, aka, no buttons, no vesa option, solid aluminum construction, and outrageously priced. I’ve been using the Cinema Display for 11 years now and I absolutely love it. I never needed a VESA or buttons etc. It’s awesome. And looks like so is this new one. I will definitely be finally upgrading my monitor with this one and hopefully it’ll last me another 11 yrs like my previous one!
The Thunderbolt Display had a removable stand and you could purchase a VESA adapter from Apple at the time. I’m not exactly sure about the Cinema Display.
@@ghost-user559they have VESA option and I think it's the absolute best. Got a $100 VESA arm with it and it gives amazing flexibility plus clean desk. Love it!
Thanks for this. I have to replace my aging 27in iMac and am considering a mini/studio and a Mac Studio display - it is the total cost that is putting me off and the Studio is a massive part of this!
It’s hideously over priced, but if you want a 5k screen with 218ppi there is no other choice but the LG equivalent which is also expensive and wobbles when you type. I have used a 27” retina iMac for 8 years, and any other screen just seems inferior, so for me personally anything else is a downgrade. I don’t care about the build quality, so long as the thing doesn’t wobble, or the looks, or the camera or the sound, or the size of the bezel, but I DO care about the image quality and the 218 ppl and the 27” size
Overpriced relative to what? It's expensive, but overpriced insinuates that 5k displays can come in better deals. Samsung offers an inferior overall package at the same price. LG offers a less attractive display with much less features at 200 less and it's much older. It's expensive but not overpriced
Problem with this diplay is that its ALMOST perfect. And that ALMOST is soooo frigging frustrating.
Far FAR from perfect, especially considering the price.
IMO Apple should have released a basic monitor without all the bells and whistles for ~1k and then another one for 2-3k with Pro Motion and XDR. I would get the second one in a heartbeat.
I'd love to see if you could review a Samsung M8. Especially since it's obviously taking a lot of inspiration from Apple's Mac line up.
I think the Samsung M8 is more flash with lots of bells and whistles versus a true prosumer monitor such as the Studio Display. Also I’ve owned Samsung TV’s as well as appliances and I’m not impressed. So much that I refuse to buy a Samsung product.
Speaking of appliances when I was looking for a refrigerator…two well known big box stores steered me away from Samsung. I’ve found LG to be a better brand for appliances and monitors as I owned the LG UltraFine as Apples approved stand-in prior to the release of the Studio Display.
All said the Everyday Dad’s take on the M8 would be interesting.
@@ajtrek3873 I feel the same… I have bought many Samsung TVs, displays, heck fridges and other appliances too and unfortunately I must agree. Some of their products are great however most of them have been disappointing and I stopped buying their products too… I still like some of their stuff but mostly it’s been a horrible user experience and their customer service is fucking horrible in my country….
I’ve tried so many things from them and unfortunately they have never worked out well… I got my phone back from apple quicker (in a week) even though it was sent to the Czech Republic (closest first party apple store) for a check, than my fucking tv from Samsung (2,5 weeks) and they have a store in my fucking town….
I find it hilarious on all the Canadian marketing material they have it showing that it can play Apple TV 🤣 rather than showing it as a monitor. They’re not even trying to hide it anymore lol.
Compare it to the discontinued entry level 27” iMac. Is is WAY overpriced. In no way shape or form does anything about this justify the price with the absence of the entire computer, keyboard and mouse
Yeah but it is faster than the 27 iMac even with a basic 450$ discounted m1 mini? So for 2000$ you get the “base model iMac Pro”. Except you can actually swap out the brains with a Studio down the line without opening up the display.
gotta say I do agree it is a bit over-built, however I really like not having a big power brick for a display. Partially because I have a cable organizing rack under my standing desk and having a big brick in that rack will take up so much space (it was when I used my previous monitor) and if I have it hanging out, it poses a problem of it weighing down the cable when I have the desk raised. Sure they could make a longer cable, but I have the cable rack there to minimize cables dangling under the desk and I feel like the studio display designers were conscious of that.
I would definitely have liked a power button, but I really don't mind there being no other controls. And yes, not being able to change the stand is a bummer, but at the same time I feel like most people know what they want from the display and likely won't feel the need to change it if their workflow and process is relatively concrete. And in general it just feels like a minor problem (and not a problem for me) after having it for months.
All that said definitely appreciate this overview! Ultimately agree with the problems you have, but for me I think the positives just massively outweigh any negatives. Especially the fluidity and integration with apple products.
I currently own a Imac 27. I am a desktop person. But I am thinking of pairing this with a Macbook Pro 14 for ultimate flexibility for my next system.
you should try converting an old 5K iMac (2015 or later) into a standalone display like Luke Miani did.
Anyone else love seeing God of War in the Background?? Looks like someone is getting ready for Ragnarok🎉🎉
This monitor is good and will work well with a Mac but the Samsung Smart Monitor M8 is what I would go for. It still works fine with Macs and even iPhones and has acceptable features for it's price
Hope Apple listens to all the criticism the Studio Display has been getting, and bumps down the price a little on the next Apple display
A little? How about by 30%‽
nothing makes the over-engineered argument better than the fact that every single review i've seen of this is by someone who has external speakers, and every single person i know who might be interested in buying it does too.
The main reason I would never buy this monitor is the lack of controls for using the monitor with anything that is not a Mac. Also find the lack of HDMI and DisplayPort quite as I need HDMI for my PS5 and Nintendo Switch.
This is pretty much how I feel. I want a good monitor without all the extras. If I had money to burn, I would get myself one. But I will never use the speakers or the webcam and I can live without the amazing build quality.
Not too many monitors with a simple thunderbolt connection, Decent speakers, and with a Vesa mount to carry that 5K retina display with a giant screen. Gonna get this and eventually get a mac mini for more ports at home. My M1 Macbook Pro served me well traveling to classes. That is no longer needed. I would like a giant screen for a change with the ports I need to plug in my DAC, Webcam, and Microphone. I use my iPad Pro for travel anyways with its 5G to join livestreams and video calls.
At least you were honest. Dispute its flaws it is a good monitor. Apple always over engineers. Great show.
Thanks for your video! I definitely want to get one now! 👍🏻
I will get a display to use with my MacBook but don't think I will get an Apple Studio. So long as a brand monitor will work I can deal with a delay of a few seconds.
It's really frustrating to see these high-end HDR monitors with such high levels of peak HDR brightness that leave less than half for the SDR range to use.
The included camera seems too bad. It's the 12 MP camera same as the ones on the iPhone & iPad, still doesn't measure up! And obviously, this monitor is over engineered and overpriced. But could serve as a central monitor in a multi monitor setup. Although, if the camera is only as good as the Macbooks', then I don't understand why it's even there. We can just bring out our phones for better video conferences.
Nice video! I initially watched this a while back but have left my comment till I bought my own Studio Display. I had previously been using a pretty nice ViewSonic ultrawide. It was targeted at video game designers so is part of the ColorPro line, it has nice colour, 100hz FreeSync and 34".
I work as a graphic designer and also have adhd, so I'm always on the look out for something I can buy that will stimulate the dopamine but also improve the work I do. I agree with a lot of what you have said. Whilst it's a lovely panel, love the colour profiles, the panel sharpness and over all increased colour over my previous, I don't think it's worth the price, although I did pay it as there just aren't many decent alternatives for professionals.
The 27" is something to adjust to, but have a secondary monitor in portrait to fill that need. I use the Studio Display with the vesa mount which in my opinion is the best option as you can always buy a vesa mount desktop stand and save a lot of cash but still have the flexibility to move it to a different desk or what not.
How the image quality is compared to 24” M1 iMac?
120hz is NOT possible at 5K via thunderbolt.
Yup not enough bandwidth unfortunately
The instant on makes me want one by itself. I have an M1 Pro MBP, connected to a Samsung monitor. It’s always a gamble if it will wake up with a shake of the mouse, a tap on a key, or pounding on a dozen keys. And half the time it will sort of half wake, but then go back to sleep before an image appears. It. Makes. Me. Crazy.
Its so nice to have it instantly turn on, that's like the main reason to consider buying.
I guess they included the A13 in there just for the instant on, if it was cheaper with an external power supply then it would have been a really good deal.
Nice Lumon themed keyboard there TED!
Sounds like I am getting a Samsung M8.
I’m actually glad there are no buttons as is one less component to fail I really don’t see problems being so frequent that it will be a problem not having buttons it’s an Apple product and they stand by there products an thats the peace of mind we pay for I’m actually buying a second one since is so amazing.
One less, but 5 more TO FAIL (considering all the extra crap they put inside). As a potential buyer, I’m disappointed.
Also most of us today work with two monitors. Can you imagine buying two of these? No way I would not even buy one.
I have this display. Took me a year to save up for and I don’t regret it. The fact that it works so seamlessly with my Mac mini. I have no issues with the camera or the tilt height, just use your iPhone for a better camera, problem solved. Just use a monitor stand for height, problem solved.
I purchased the Mac Studio and thought it was missing something. So I went to check out the Studio Display and was initially happy to part with the money but after using it for a while, I wasn’t convinced that it was worth $2499 AUD. That’s the price of a MacBook Pro 14”… WTF Apple??
I’m currently have a 34” Ultrawide, so I’m think for getting the 39” LG 5K2K ultrawide.
Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy your points. Blessings on your day!
I’ve been wondering how well this display would sit next to the 24 iMac. The camera, Microphone, and Speakers would be redundant of course, but the 24” has a chin and it seems like the overall size might be close.
Great video, trying to decide if I want to pair this display with my 14 inch MacBook Pro. Thank you for the assistance. Also, O-H..
So what display do you recommend?
Not gonna lie. Having only recently been looking into Apple products for the first time in years, my brain refused to accept this was just a monitor and not an iMac.
I love how it’s overpriced in the US for $1600. Come to Australia. It starts at $2600. Ugh.
I love Apple's products, but the only product I am willing to pay for is an iPad Pro. The rest is just overpriced. I am a PC user, but I will not give people crap because the love Apple. I am willing to sacrifice the monitor turning on in less than a second, the lack of VESA options and other options good or bad to avoid the "Apple tax". I need the option to customize and I am willing to give up "performance" to do so.
I like the wallpaper with the paper boat. Is this anywhere available?
Getting a new Studio Display months after the Studio Mac. Very excited! Thank you for the great review! Looking forward to the quick wake up speed! I live for the click-click-click-click-click! Please keep that!!!!
I love my M1 iMac but I wish it had the Studio Display's design 🤣
dude u right on everything ... cool vid btw 😉 ... BUT you're wrong with the buttons, you dont need them ... on an imac i dont have a power botton for the computer and a separate one for the monitor, same thing on the macbook ...
so your power button is on your mac studio (for the whole system) and the volume buttons are on your keyboard ... i think the botton situation is perfectly fine and well designed ...
what makes apple so special, is that they remove everything unneccessary
I would have loved them to use the new iMac design language, razor thin and with an Ethernet port in the power brick. Would have been an instant buy from me
Personally I want the built in camera, FaceTIME and zoom are part of life now and monitors without cameras are niche as far as I am concerned. I agree it is over priced. If you buy a bottom of the range McMini and their monitor it is about $400 more than the old bottom of the range 27 inch iMac. Paring the MacStudio with the screen is not a fair comparison with the old iMac.
Guess I’ll wait and see how it will evolve!
Great conundrum review on the Studio Display! 🤣. I get mine in May. BTW… go Buckeyes!!! Undergrad Class of 1974!!
The color grading alone is worth the price.
I’ve had mine for a month and it’s really amazing. I the tilt & height stand. Yeah it’s pricey and I agree, I don’t need the camera.
Maybe me being a designer/developer has made me very aware of the pixel imperfections. At 5k, my studio display is way smoother than at 4k . But I still want it cleaner. I want to be able to see an even clearer cleaner picture. There is certainly scope. Time for 7k/8k displays to become mainstream with 500 PPI.
Not enough bandwidth on the cable
@@Jushwa Yeah time to create a new cable.
@@bugged1212 could do what apple did back in the day with their 30 inch and run 2 cables, or like the early high res ultra wides with dual DVI, but To do it on one port tho will probably have to wait until thunderbolt 5 or 6
it looks like the connectors on the display will not fit my M1mac mini. how can I connect the two.please . thanks Scot j
I will tell you the pickup is an underrated thing. My 4k Acer monitor is so much slower than old HP but it could also be power savings.
Yeah, wish they would ditch the camera. The speakers are nice but I'd take it without that too to make it cheaper.
@theeverydaydad can you please review the new Samsung Smart Monitor M8 when it’s released?
Just bought a M2 Mac Mini and I’d love an Apple Studio display but I cannot justify spending more money on a monitor than on my computer base unit… especially when there are plenty of great (and cheaper) alternatives out there… from LG, Dell, Samsung, BenQ…
If Apple could have kept the cost down to £1000…
Bravo - you just hit the nail on it’s head. Couldn’t agree more - it’s got very good sides and very tempting product and at the same time it’s got so many bad sides for this price. Utterly utterly frustrating. One of the most frustrating products Apple made in years IMHO
Agree with you that it's overpriced and over-engineered. Mine was delivered on 3/23. I was torn about sending it back (I was still within Best Buy's return window) but finally opened it yesterday. I'm happy (so far) and glad I didn't send it back, but... you're right, it should have been simplified and cheaper. Was this design originally intended to be a 27-inch iMac? Did Apple start producing parts for an iMac and then change course? I don't mind the built-in power supply, but would have gladly accepted a power brick *if* it also featured an ethernet port. Permanently-attached power cord isn't a deal-breaker, but Apple needs to re-think this strategy in the future given the prevalence of standing desks. Speaking of power... Apple should have put a power button on the Studio Display or "soft power" on the Magic Keyboard to start a MacBook Pro in clamshell mode. Soft power was one of the best features on old Macs!! Great video!
Right? Its a confusing monitor, I really like it but I wish it wasn't so over designed.
Good honest review.
you are perfect please make a video with the Sony linkbuds
My only complaint is that just when I built this awesome home office set up complete with the gorgeous display my company ordered us all go back to the office. /s
Happened to me as well! At work I got a big monitor with low ppi. Can’t stand it ;)
@@RickSanchez__642 yeah 22 inch 1080P TN panel … my eyes explode every time I see it 😂😂😂
iMac is thinner than that monitor and it has a power brick connected to MagSafe removable power cord. It almost feels like Apple was trying to make the successor to the 27 inch iMac but they realized it would cannibalize the Mac Pro line. If Apple remakes the studio monitor so it would basically be an iMac without the Mac inside and have easily changeable stands and can use standard VESA mounts, and a bit cheaper, it would be the ultimate monitor.
Dunno why you're so negative about it. Why do you need buttons ON the monitor when it PERFECTLY integrates with the media keys on the keyboard (brightness and volume)? Makes absolutely no sense. VESA option is available and I got it, works amazing with a $100 arm. Perfect flexibility and clean desk. Love it.
In almost 1 year of using I never had to pull the power plug for hard reset, even though I'm daily un/plugging my MBP. This thing just works.
It’s not a true HDR display from what I’ve read. From what you’ve described it does have some HDR capabilities baked in so that is good to hear.
I still think that this a design test for the next iMac Pro.
I would go for an Eizo ColorEdge. Less sexy, but better contrast and colors.
Has it been a month already? Guess time flies when studying for finals
Which one is better IQ than that monitor, for the same money?
would you recommend this for video editing?
I have seen the argument that you get a nice aluminum, solid display instead of cheap plastic and a wobbly screen. That is true but is it work an extra $1,000? A Dell Ultrasharp 27 inch 4k for $350 (I bought these many years ago - they're $580 today) is a compromise but it does what I need it to do. I personally wouldn't spend more than $500 for a monitor and I paid $100 for the last one and got a computer along with it (2010 iMac 27).
I would spend the extra thousand for the aluminum build, built in camera, speakers, and Mic, but probably not the extra $400 for the height adjustment. I sort of did that already by dropping $2,100 on the 24” iMac but it’s also a computer.
I can't seem to get my thunderbolt display to work with my MacBook pro M1 Pro? I have the thunderbolt 3 to thunderbolt 2 adaptor, but no luck - any tips?
I wonder how you feel about the Samsung M8 compared to Studio Monitor
I am considering going ahead and purchasing the Apple Studio Display to use as a secondary monitor on my 27” iMac Late 2014 iMac 5K. Can you share which cable do I need to purchase to make this connection happen? Thank you in advance for your help!
Being able to see the hole for the power cord in the stand from front seems less than elegant!!!
If possible do a comparison of Studio display with Samsung M8 monitor.
Meh the complaints seemed a bit half-baked. I’d rather the monitor also be turned on if plugged in. I also prefer the better build quality and the value adds. The value adds like the mic, camera etc gives an iMac experience to non-iMac users. For example if you have a MacBook Pro or Mac studio
Yeah but personally I don't want an iMac I want a monitor.
@@Myoshin. The studio display is a monitor… just an iMac style one. Apple doesn’t make any bog standard products without any value adds.
@@chidorirasenganz Have to agree with you, Apple always creates an amazing product but can't help shafting the customer by creating a problem with the product which requires paying lots more $$$ to Apple to buy your way out of it.
Where’s that monitor arm from?
Can you compare this to the Thunderbolt display
the freaking height $400 is almost mandatory, damn! I need control the height.
I tend to agree with you on most of your topics but not really on the first half of this video, I'm happy with the included extra's even though I have separate speakers and I rarely need the camera, I know they are there is needed, the minimal look with no buttons, just the pure display and housing are right up my ascetic street, I don't ever want to go back to a plastic body non glass fronted monitor again. I love this monitor so much and yes here in the UK £1500 is quite a lot of money for sure I'd make the same purchase decision over and over again.
What keyboard are you using?
Considering the price difference between the studio and the ultrafine, I don’t understand the complaint about the cost of overengineering. Isn’t the ultrafine still only like $200 cheaper?
That’s why is also a waste. Too bad I have no other choice for a glossy display so I’m probably gonna end up with one of these
@@cat-.- how is it a waste if it’s a better version of the ultrafine lol
How well does it interact with an iPad/iPad Pro? Of course there's the silly fact that you still can't easily utilize the full screen on the monitor. However, does it otherwise maintain a stable connection?
The panel tech inside seems to be at least 7 years old. I The speakers are never going to replace external speakers, the webcam is average, the stand options are limited in function, the connection options at the back are limited, the colour options are not pro level. Build quality amazing, but what's the point if the panel is average. Also, does something that sits still most of its life need such a high build quality? Look at Eizo, Flanders and real professional monitors, who's priorities are the panel and they have plastic bodies. Apple seems to have not learnt from its mistakes with the previous Macbook Pro's. Form first, function second. Priorities are totally inverted and the consumer pays the price.
That said, I would not be surprised if there were plans to build more function into this monitor, using the processor etc inside. Maybe an apple tv sort of function, something along the lines of Samsungs M7 range. Who knows
So it’s basically the Porsche of monitors. Over engineered and over priced, but still the best of the best. LOL! 😂
I could see myself getting this display instead of a pro display if I ever get an apple monitor
I would probably still get this over the pro XDR display.
The power button on products is small but mighty!
Right? Even a single physical button allows for a surprising amount of direct interaction.
Nah I’d rather not have a power button. One less point of failure.
@@TheEverydayDad even for doing the hard reset like you say.. especially when you can’t unplug the monitor from the back of the display.. you have to go and reach for the socket on the wall or power bar which if you’re cable managed could be a real PIA.
4:31 “you want tilt-adjustable? That’s another $400” you mean height-adjustable
I don't think Mac Studio is midrange when it has the same chip as the Mac Pro
"I will spend a boatload . . ."
~ted
Woah you live in Towson? Go Tigers!
Apple trying to reinvent the wheel again😕
Sounds familiar.
