"An idiot admires complexity, a genius admires simplicity"

That is whole take I have on the Mac Studio. It is over-engineered and complex on purpose.

Just cleaning the fans (which will 100% get dust in them under 2 months) is a whole process. That's also my take on the Studio Display, a non-standard non-removable cable (from Apple's site), is a comedy. Apple could have the made the display a bit thicker like the Pro Display XDR and have done a removable proper cable.

oh, you can clearly tell this was not meant to opened and access to even the fans is blocked by a PSU which is fully open and must be carefully removed by the user to access the fans.

Apple really does think different.

The cable can be removed on the studio display. It’s just a tight connection.

Agreed on the unnecessary jamming of components inside an unnecessarily small enclosure for a desktop computer.
Apple has always gone to great lengths to make getting inside their computers as difficult as possible (except Mac Pro). It’s an infamous hallmark of their products.
The MS falls right in line.

Instead of making it physically impossible they made it financially impossible for most Pro Mac users. That base Mac Pro for $6000 is laughable and that price is what you have to pay to get ease of access from Apple on a desktop computer these days.

what a ridiculous review....focus on fan and cable. I'm surprised you didn't mention it should have come with a keyboard.
Should I assume other than those two items, its beyond amazing?
