![]() ![]() The 10G Ethernet connection will also run full chat at 10G without having to share I/O resources. ![]() With the Ultra, all the ports are fully provisioned, which means that each Thunderbolt port will run independently at 40 GBs no matter how many you are using. There is also an SDXC card slot (UHS‑II) on both. You will find two USB-C ports on the front, the M1 Max supports 10Gb/s USB 3, and on this model, the M1 Ultra supports 40Gb/s Thunderbolt 4. We read online that somebody questioned why the USB-A ports were on there, well one reason would be the ability to plug in a dedicated FCP keyboard without an adaptor for a start! On the back you will find four Thunderbolt 4 ports, a 10Gb Ethernet port, two USB-A ports, an HDMI port (4K resolution at 60Hz) and a pro audio jack for high-impedance headphones or external amplified speakers. We wouldn't recommend moving it often, but certainly we would think of taking it home at the weekend to finish a project or putting it in hand baggage and getting on a flight.Ĭonnectivity is excellent. It's designed to sit on a desk, but the width of the Mac and the fact that the connectors are on the front and back mean that two will happily fit side by side in a 19" rack. In fact, it is really hard to make the fans spin faster than their usual idle. As the Mac Studio is not dependent on any third-party chip power and heat requirements, there shouldn't be any thermal throttling with the machine. There is a 0.9 kg difference between the two models, the M1Max uses an aluminium heat sink and the M1 Ultra has a copper cooling system for the chips. It's solidly built and weighs more than it looks. ![]() It won't show the greasy toast marks in the morning either! Not too sure about the black slabbed trackpad, we think we prefer the silver one to match the Mac Studio and Studio Display cases. The three peripherals have all had a silver and black makeover. ![]() The braiding again replaces unwanted plastic. The braiding of the cable matches both mains cables of the Mac and the display as well as the 1 metre Thunderbolt cable that comes supplied with the Studio Display. The keyboard and trackpad come with coiled USB-C to Lightning connector cables to charge them. Hard to believe it is more powerful and almost half the cost.įor peripherals, we also took delivery of a new two-tone Magic Mouse, Trackpad and Magic Keyboard with Touch ID. You don't get the handy soft foam bag you can drape over the display when not in use.Īfter unboxing the Mac Studio, it looks even smaller compared to the Mac Pro. Take them off slowly if you want to use them again as they rip easily. The display, once extracted from its snug cardboard encapsulation, has a couple of paper-based screen covers held on with adhesive down the edges. If you intend to move either on a regular basis, a more permanent shipping solution might make sense. One downside, getting everything back in the boxes requires a GCSE in Tetris and it always ends with a flap out. That means that unit is country specific, you can't just swap an IEC lead out for another country's plug style. The coil on the back is the non-detachable mains cable. The adjustable angle of the studio display is held in place with these cardboard ‘chocks’. The mains cable is rolled up underneath the Mac Studio. No peripherals with the Mac Studio, you will have to supply your own keyboard, mouse and of course, screen. Apple has completeley removed any polystyrene and plastic from the packaging and everything is held in place nicely to the millimetre. They are both packed well and the level of cardboard engineering in the boxes would amaze an origami master. Unboxing both the Mac Studio and Studio Display is very similar.
