#Mac graphic design studio review Bluetooth#
Theoretically, input devices can be connected directly to the display, but only if you use a wired connection or a wireless USB dongle Bluetooth input devices need to be connected to the Mac Studio, the MacBook, or the iPad, respectively.Īltogether, you can choose between four SoC models, but only the M1 Ultra offers the possibility to get up to 128 GB of RAM.

As usual, the brightness sensor works well, and you get used to the True Tone technology (automatic adjustment of the color temperature based on the ambient light) very quickly. As soon as the Mac is turned on, the image appears too overall, the setup simply works without issues and is extremely easy to carry out. The connection to the Mac Studio is also done via the Thunderbolt cable, and the whole setup is very easy.

It goes without saying that the Studio Display can also be used with the MacBook Pro 16 or older 15-inch versions, but you'll need to have the device connected to the power adapter as well in these cases in order to get full performance. This is ideal for all iPads, MacBook Airs, and MacBook Pro models up to 14 inches, which are shipped with a power adapter of a maximum of 96 watts anyways. Laptops can be charged at up to 96 watts via the Thunderbolt port. The ports also match the Pro Display XDR, since there's a Thunderbolt 3 port that also serves as an input source, as well as three additional USB-C ports (3.2 Gen.2, 10 Gbit/s) for additional peripherals. It's also fine to use the Mac Studio with other external displays at the same time, the Studio Display can also be used with MacBooks or other laptops/PCs (more on that later). Note: We're reviewing the two products together, namely the Mac Studio and the Studio Display, but they must naturally be purchased separately from each other.

This doesn't only work for MacBooks, but also for Windows laptops. The display offers several USB-C ports as well as Thunderbolt, so besides peripherals (mice, keyboards, hard drives), you can also directly connect a laptop via Thunderbolt, which will then be charged at up to 96 watts. In addition, we'll also review the new Studio Display, Apple's new 27-inch monitor with a 5K resolution and its own A13-SoC. For comparison: A MacBook Pro 16 with the same hardware and a Mini LED panel costs around 4,700 Euros (~$4,908). Our Mac Studio review unit is equipped with the M1 Max including 32 GPU cores, 64 GB of shared RAM, and a 2 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD Apple charges 3,679 Euros (~$3,842) for this configuration (not including input devices). The Mac Studio is Apple's newest desktop PC, and like the current Mac Mini, the manufacturer has opted for its in-house M1 processors, but in this case, we have the powerful M1 Max versions or the new M1 Ultra, which practically combines two M1 Max chips.
