Maybe worth a trip to the Apple Store to test it.Thanks, I did see that on the spec page but I’d also seen videos suggesting they only the latest generation iPad Pro would work so wanted to check from owners

Hi everyone, looking for some advice from you technical folks, Im planning to get the Studio Display to pair with my new 15" MBA. What I want to do is get a docking station/adapter to connect things like eThernet, USBs, and SD drives.
So my question is, do I connect the docking station to the ASD? or would it connect to my MBA?
I'm trying to make it easy for me to take the MBA in and out quickly without having to disconnect multiple cables to get going.
Thanks

Thank you for sharing, looking at these 2 it seems a bit over kill for me and my usage.The ASD has one upstream Thunderbolt port. The downstream ports are all USB-C.
What you want is a Thunderbolt (3 or 4) dock that has at least one downstream Thunderbolt port that you would connect the ASD to. (And the MacBook to the upstream/host port.)
I use an MBA like this with a Caldigit TS3+ and have not had any issues:
TS3 Plus | Thunderbolt 3 Dock – CalDigit

I would have upgraded to the TS4 since it has two downstream Thunderbolt ports, but regrettably the optical audio output has been removed:
Thunderbolt 4 Dock | TS4 | CalDigit – CalDigit

The 3 expansion ports on the back of the Studio Display are regular USB-C, not TB.Base on the comment above, I would plug this hug to one of the 3 USB-C downstream TB, and the 1 upstream would plug to my MBA and all would be good to go?
That is bonkers. Seems like an awful long time to wait for swapping out a power cable 😖I got my Mac Studio and Studio Display in April as a birthday present to myself. Couldn't be more pleased with my purchase.
Had something unfortunate happen though, about 3 weeks ago. Our new puppy found her way into my home office and chewed through the power cable (thankfully it was unplugged). I had been re-arranging and putting together a new desk, etc.
Anyway, luckily, I have AppleCare+; I purchase it on virtually every Apple item I have ever bought for over a dozen years or more, now. So, I took my ASD to one of the two Apple Stores in my city, this was on July 3rd. They did warn me my estimated time for repair was by July 16th. So, I've just been waiting patiently using an old HP monitor from work.
This morning, I got a call from the Apple Store (first actual update I've received thus far) and was told that they have the new cable but they don't have the tool to remove the old one, etc. Because I'm fairly up on all things Apple, I knew what she was talking about. What I don't understand is how an Apple Store could not have this tool? Furthermore, how could an Apple Store not know that they would need that tool to repair the cable over two weeks ago?
I almost get the feeling that they thought they could do the repair by just simply removing it. Not realizing that a tool had been developed specifically for this purpose. Just seems odd to me. I guess I must be the first person to have had a cable related issue in my city of nearly two million people. 🤷♂️ I digress.
I'm seriously missing my ASD.
I was actually going to try this as I've got two VESA models, each on their own arm. But unfortunately they don't go high enough to put one over the other. I'd have to get a new arm to do it.I am curious— anyone running 2 Studio Displays stacked vertically? Seems like that might be tough to make work in any kind of ergonomic fashion. Doesn’t stop me from being curious, haha. (I want more real estate than a single 27” display. Single XDR would be my preference, but I‘m considering my options,
Try a different port. Try a different USB-C cable. I've not experienced this and I've got my keyboard and my mouse dongle plugged into one of my displays and an Apple CD/DVD Superdrive plugged into the other monitor. No disconnects if my bump my desk. And the monitors are both on VESA arms so they get moved not infrequently.I am using one of the USB C ports on the back of my Studio Display with a Samsung T5 2TB SSSD and find slight movements or bumping the monitor causes the SSD to disconnect
Ahh, dang. For sure you’d need a bit of height for the top monitor. How were you thinking of stacking them? Seems like a lot of people put one up pretty high which doesn’t seem like it’d be comfortable to use much. I was considering trying to have the top one close to eye height — maybe up a few inches— and have the second below at an angle. Might still be too tall though. Seems like the different “tall” solutions out there are based more on a dual 24” setup (LG DualUp, Geminos, etc.)I was actually going to try this as I've got two VESA models, each on their own arm.

I wasn't sure how I would do it. I mostly wanted to see what it looked like.Ahh, dang. For sure you’d need a bit of height for the top monitor. How were you thinking of stacking them?

A pair of 24” 4.5k Studio Display XDRs might be interesting… how about it, Apple? 😂
I purchased another unit and set it up. So far it seems there is no buzzing. Fingers crossed 🤞Yeah, do I wish it was cheaper? yeah sure but it is what it is and I am fine with it, I just want to get a quality product for what I am paying for. But thanks, if I end up pulling the trigger again I hope I don't end up getting a lemon again!
Hopefully it stays this way 👍I purchased another unit and set it up. So far it seems there is no buzzing. Fingers crossed 🤞
I wish it could accept multi source without doing tricky dongle/hubs!
I just don't understand how did Apple not thought maybe someone has a mac mini + work laptop or any combos of 2 macs 🤦♂️
GreatYes, it‘s a few days until any of us will actually be “owners,” but the reviews should be coming soon, and we should have a dedicated thread to share our thoughts. Suggested topics of discussion:
- What are your initial impressions (after you set it up)?
- Are you replacing an existing display or adding a new display?
- Are you satisfied with your selection of stand/mount? Would you get a different stand/mount if you had to do it over?
- Are you using it with Windows? How well does it work?
