Hi everyone,
I’ve been thinking of getting a monitor for my 2021 16” MacBook Pro for software development, so I went to an electronics store yesterday to check out some monitors. As you would expect, the Studio Display caught my attention with its exceptional build quality compared to other monitors made of plastic. Although it’s almost 2x or 3x in price, the integration with the Mac is making it a tempting option. I’m planning to get the model with the tilt-adjustable stand and use a monitor stand since I don’t plan on using my MacBook in clamshell mode. So, I have a few questions regarding it:
1. What are the dimensions of the display’s box? I couldn’t find information about this anywhere and I’m wondering it in case I need to move overseas.
2. Can I use the included thunderbolt cable with the one of the usb-c ports of the display instead of the thunderbolt port to connect to the MacBook? I don’t want the MacBook to be plugged in all the time.
3. How is the battery life of the MacBook affected when connected to the monitor?
Thanks in advance
