What do you connect those 4 Thunderbolt4 ports to?
I have HD's with USB 3.
Midi Keyboard with USB 3.
Wacom USB 3.
Mouse USB 3.
Keyboard bluetooth dongle USB 3.Looking on amazon, most external HDs still come with usb 3 ports or usb c I guess.
Besides a hub to connect everything to a Mac Studio - what can you get that connects with Thunderbolt 4?

- just get some usb3->usbc cables? I wish usb A was forced dead, weird they bought back 2 ports for this Mac....inteliboy
- You do realise thunderbolt 4 isnt the connector type - it uses usc-cephix
- usb-cephix

so double the specs and double the price for m1 ultra vs max but do you get 2X the performance?
- i think that we will see more than 2x.sted
- If you had 2x the performance and 2x the storage you would calculate those separately for a price comparisonnb
- On the apple page for the Studio, it shows some graphs and the ultra is only a little faster than the m1 max, but we don't know which ones they are comparing.shapesalad
- Could be the top end m1 max and lower end ultra.shapesalad

On spring I predict that they will release M1 max and M1 ultra iMac Pros for 3k and 5k or so making them cheaper than the new Mac studio and monitor combos
- I predict they will not make 27” iMacs anymore at allmonospaced
- 27 inch of bigger iMac is probably 2023, if it ever comes outernexbcn
- of = orernexbcn
- I think the studio is replacing the high end iMacs. I predict it’s just 24” models from here on out. More power = studio.monospaced

Mac Studio is nice. Even the M1 Max models seem great specially if you already own monitors.
The Mac Pro is going to be nuts.
- When will Apple start intentionally slowing down my 2020 iMac with their bloated software, incompatible OS and apps?utopian
- As soon as you start trying to update it to software it can’t handle because it’s so old, but they don’t slow down intentionally. Often it’s the opposite.monospaced
- But you know this. You’re an Apple fuckboi and you probably own more of their products than most.monospaced
- Spoken like a true brainwashed fanboy apologist.utopian
- That’s you man.monospaced
- Not saying anything you didn’t say already. And you’re the one with all the Apple devices, not me. You’re the Apple fuckboi of the century.monospaced
- Aren’t you the one who keeps buying macs year after year and then whine about how they aren’t innovative enough like a fucking retard? Yeah. You are.monospaced
- I haven’t bought a Mac since 2008.monospaced
- But yeah. Call the guy with an iPhone 8 a brainwashed fanboy, like the idiotic cunt you are. Real cool.monospaced

Holy shit, the screen of my new 14" MBP is bright. Like much, much, much brighter than my old mid-2014 MBP (the display of which I suspect was gradually dimming, anyway).
- Yeah... they are getting brighter and brighter and he dimmest setting is still uber bright.shapesalad
- YAAAA!!!% i call it photon cannon :)sted
- 1600 nits peak brightness, crazy.BuddhaHat
- In the end, I had to turn down the brightness just a couple notches shy of max.Continuity

LG ultrafine 5K is like three years old, kind of ugly, and very little of the tech that is in the studio display. It’s $1299. So the Studio Display is priced pretty well at $1599.
There are plenty of cheap 4K monitors if you are on a tight budget. No need to complain about apple’s pricing. I don’t get it.
- Also the LG is known to have build quality issues. People say 15 months or so. Pfffftnb

Having only just bought a M1 Laptop I hate looking in this thread now. All the shiny new better things!
- this is how they have become a trillion dollar companyhans_glib
- Don't look at these for a month and enjoy what you just got :) I found a nice partner in mine, its a shining beast :)sted
- Buy new stuff, sell laptop, cost difference marginal. Do so with each new release - over the years costs is marginal for latest tech.shapesalad
- it would have been nice if they sorted the custom order waiting lists first :D my maxed out m1 max 64GB ordered in jan won't arrive until later this month.kingsteven

- If she's ashamed of her voice that's on her. I'm expressing my distaste for it. It's grating.cannonball1978
- I have to agree. Her voice is not fit for this type of thing. What a weird decision she made to do this. I can’t even listen to her for more than a moment.monospaced
- Maybe because she has such a weird voice it's interesting.NBQ00
- Haha, i love her voice because it's annoyingIanbolton
- lol mono, she has over 40K subs and rising. When I first started watching her she had couple thousands.NBQ00
- So what?monospaced
- Well, apparently her voice isn't stopping her.NBQ00
- It's stopping people from watching, that's for sure.monospaced
- But her subs are rising and rising, lolNBQ00

If you get an Apple Studio + a cheap non apple monitor, what's the audio & webcam solution? Seems most monitors are a bit crappy, no web cam, no speakers...
I'm increasingly being drawn to just getting the new apple monitor...
- Speakers in monitors are garbage anyways. A cheap pair of Logitech's (or whatever) will be 10x better.section_014
- considering that apple monitor myself but usually no speakers and webcam is a good thing... current is LG 32" ultrafine + Razer Kiyo + Adam A7xkingsteven
- Apple = 1 decision/purchase. Non-apple = 3 decisions/purchases = more time researching, setting up etc.shapesalad
- Similar quality webcam is another $100, make sure it has a mic!nb
- External speakers take up precious desk space and will be worse on video calls.nb
- Studio Display speakers/mic make sense. It’s not for quality music or audio monitoring. It’s for zoom calls without headphones.nb
- In other words, the display audio doesn’t replace good speakers for those who need them. Serves a different purpose.nb
- Why would anyone want speakers on the monitor? Zoom calls go through your reg speakers anyway, no need to cheap/limited speakers on your screen.formed
- The speakers in the monitor are better than the laptop. Zoom calls would use the monitor speakers derp.monospaced
- A monitor with speakers is great for people who want to hear sound coming from the computer and don’t want separate speakers.monospaced

- get ready of YouTube to be filled with punchable faced guys harping on about how fast their M1 Ultra is.shapesalad

- no power button on the monitor. ultra a little faster than max but not $3000k faster(could be due to needing an osx update).shapesalad

What 3D app is this?
I looked closely, it's not Blender, not Houdini, not Cinema, not anything else I can think of right now.
- looks like an animation apphans_glib
- It's a shoe designer app obviouslyinv
- Unity?shapesalad
- "shoe designer app obviously" just because there's a 3d shoe in the viewport? most designer apps don't have animation timelines like this one.NBQ00

Apple Studio display runs full iOS 15.4.
Theoretically they could make a touch-screen version and it would be a standalone iOS touch computer. But no.
- Do you work @ Mac Rumors?utopian
- It has the same chip as an iPhone too.monospaced
- “Stand alone iOS touch computer”?!? Lol we have that it’s called an iPadnb
- So you want a 27 inch iPad. Lol got itnb
- So it’s an iMac crippled.monospaced
- So it has bugs that will or will not be fixed in software - yes, again that "never buy 1st gen Apple nothing" strikes againgrafician
- Didn’t you just buy the first gen iMac with first gen M1?monospaced
- Yes, after I've seen it works and just the iMac, not a M1 laptop which still have bugsgrafician
- I was under the impression that the M1 laptop and iMac were identical hardware inside. What laptop bugs are there that the iMac doesn’t have?monospaced
- lol ok...
https://www.macrumor…grafician - so far the M1 iMAc has no issues (no memory leaks, no display issues, sounds "cracks and pops" and all apps run fine, including Adobe's junk)grafician
- and historically imacs usually have less problems than minis or macbooks...grafician
- fwiw I should know, I owned a half dozen imacs so far...grafician
- The Bluetooth link in that list says the mini is most affected.monospaced
- Even though they have the same identical first gen M1 chip. Looks like the issues for iMac are resolved too. Interesting.monospaced

Been using the Studio Display for one day.
User review:
• Resolution is perfect, lovely.
• I forgot how glossy Apple displays are. I’ll get used to it but damn. I wish I could convince myself to drop the extra cash on the less-glossy one. I can’t.
• Sound quality is much better than I expected. And loud! Will not replace a good stereo but is better than some $50 ugly AF computer speakers.
• I can’t figure out how to make Center Stage work in Zoom. I think it may not be supported yet? (I’m using a 16inch MBP, closed)
• Slippery base. I can’t tilt this thing without holding the base or it slides all around. Weird.
• Camera is garbage. Potato quality. Total shit. Also it’s so fucking wide angle it’s ridiculous. Maybe the point is so that you can have groups of people on a call together? Who would ever do that? 100% of the time you use the webcam, you’re sitting in front of the screen. Why must I show off the entire room I’m in.
• Mic is really good. (Most MacBook Pro mics are actually really good, too. This is a bit better.)
- Why not get an Eizo monitor and external mic?grafician
- iMac 2014 that I have has the same camera issue, so wide angle it shows the entire room, drives me nuts_niko
- Which eizo model?nb
- too late nowgrafician
- btw you can use your iPad Pro camera for meets and calls, it's the selfie camera, best qualitygrafician
- Might return itnb
- Coloredge series?
https://www.eizo.com…grafician - But the price might be over the Studio Display :|grafician
- There was a release saying a software update will fix the camera.monospaced
