Finally, in March 2022, here it is.
“The Mac Studio is very much the desktop Mac I’ve wanted for years.
A Mac mini… just more of it.

Faster, more expandability, more displays,” says long-time Apple journalistAndy Ihnatkoon Twitter.
But the Mac Studio is actually quite an odd computer.
So who is it for, exactly?

The Studio is a lot more like the Mac mini than the Mac Pro.
Once you buy it, theres no way to upgrade any internal hardware.
In this way, the Studio is very much a modern Apple computer.
You buy what you need, and thats it.
Any extras have to be plugged into its external ports.
And that could get messy, fast.
While some people buy desktops for the extra power, others prefer them for their expandability.
A Mac Pro is even better because much of that extra stuff can live inside the computer.
So the high end-Mac Studio is a weird in-betweener.
It has a lot of power but still makes a mess on your desk.
And for many folks who might prefer a desktop, it’s too powerful.
Music just isn’t that demanding compared to video or software development.
“I miss having a high-end desktop,” graphic designer and video editorGraham Bowertold Lifewire via direct message.
“Right now, the main reason I don’t [have one] is space.
The Mac Studio is the Goldilocks solution, balancing size, price, and power.
It also looks amazing.
I presume that it will be a huge hit.
