Poll: Mac Studio M2 whine noise?
I just ordered a new M2 Mac Studio! Really excited. However, some forum members seem to have heard the dreaded M1 “era” whine noise in one or more online reviews of the new M2 version. So, a question (poll) for you guys who have already received your new M2 Mac Studios: does it “whine”?

I ordered one, cancelled a few days later, and ordered a 14" BTO.
Just ordered the 14" black 18/512 for delivery tomorrow, will see.
I haven't found anything not to like, yet, with the M3 pro. My first MBP was in 2012 and the MBP sure has come a long way since then.
My wife is still using a 2013 MBP 13" mainly for email, bit slow but still works fine, was a apple refurb.
Just fwiw, this is not new information. Notebookcheck has shown Apple silicon mini-led screens to have poor pixel response (~30-70ms) since the original 14/16 release and not recommended for multiplayer fps or the like.
No need to have people do scrolling tests on websites or display certain backgrounds. Just link to any Apple silicon era 14/16 review from there.
Yes it’s unfortunate but it’s a consequence how mini led was implemented on these displays. It will of course be fixed with OLED.

You getting it repaired is all of the notification they need. The repair system is used to track common and emerging issues. If this is widespread, they already know.
Arrived today, such a nice screen much nice than the air’s. After migrating from my iMac the 512gb is half full, wondering if I should swap it for the 1TB. I have 200Gb of family photos/videos I like to keep on board.
Also is the 1TB faster not that this seems slow?
Sounds like you need the 1TB. As to SSD speed, traditionally the 1TB + models have been faster than the others. I do not recall if that is the case this year.
I went with 1 TB. My normal usage is 400 GB but I can keep it to 300 GB if I'm good at cleaning things up. It's just far more comfortable with 1 TB and I do plan on keeping this as my primary MacBook for 4-8 years.
Interesting. Because I use my laptops outdoors a lot and apparently Apple doesn't test their devices outdoors. [1]
The stupid emoji keyboard started to have trouble for me in just 3 months.
Looks like if i get a Mx laptop the screen will get scratched in 3 months or less because it's impossible to clean all dust before closing the laptop if you use it daily on a balcony...
[1] ... any more. I have a bunch of pre emoji keyboard laptops and they're just fine thank you, in spite of being ancient by now and having been subjected to the same usage patterns.
The problem is not a major problem but a damage during production or missed during quality control. It is common on any manufacturing process. Any customers need to check any purchases as soon as possible to spot check. If damage is found, return it as soon as possible. Keep calm, do due diligence process when buying a new product, return it if damage to get the corrected one, and be happy. Life us to short to be unhappy 😊Everyone.
Ever since Apple released the new Macbook Pro 14- and 16 inch the screens have been horrible.
All the screens come with some sort of damages that are visible with certain lighting.
The company has ordered 20 Macbook Pros and have had 5 screen replacement all bought and serviced by Apple.
They all came with some sort of scratches or dents/holes in the screen straight out of the box.
Searching the internet shows results of similar cases. For the record all the cases out company had were new units and inspected upon unboxing and or back from service replacement.
Why is nobody talking about this, having soo many faulty units shows that something is wrong on a production level.
How are we able to send Apple a message about this? This is no coincidence and has been on going since the M1 and the M3.
Customer support does not seem to have an entry to executive levels. How does Apple know something is wrong if you cannot even send in these issues letting them know?
Edit:
Similar threads and pictures of the damages from our units. The damages are the same.

The pictures attached are our own units three different new units and screens. All came out of the box brand new.
One advantage to buying at Costco as they have a 90-day return policy which gives you far more time to deal with product defects. The main problem with Costco is that you can't buy BTO models and we usually buy BTO.
This isn’t the first time I’ve seen a post about some sort of issue that you have to take convoluted steps to even detect, and that would not have any measurable (much less meaningful) impact on usage. Some folks just need to relax.
All I see when I check my screen is minor dust and smudges from my fingers having touched the screen. Neither one is noticeable when the screen's backlight is on. No evidence of damage, as I keep a microfiber cloth between my keyboard and screen to prevent marks from the keys. The cloth is a cheap and easy fix and worthwhile as my 2016 15" MBP eventually developed screen marks after years of daily carrying in my backpack. They aren't really a big issue anyway, as they are nearly impossible to detect with the screen on.
since I replied earlier to share I had this problem, an update: I went to the Apple Store yesterday and they're replacing my display under warranty. The person helping me said it happens every now and then to displays of all their products, not more or less to the MacBook Pro's than any of their other lines.
I would suggest to inspect the new display too. We have replaced the screen for one unit three times due to this. All three came with some sort of dents/scratches. One worse than the other.
Update us. What colour unit do you have?
I started a thread about it when I went through almost a dozen that all had some kind of screen damage.Everyone.

Terrible Quality Control - MacBook Pro 14”
Anyone else notice quality control is horrible for the 14” Pro since M1 days? I bought and exchanged a few M2 Pros, and I’ve probably been through a dozen so far and never got one without issues. Some creak loudly when handled, hinge makes loud clicking noises when moved, scratches on the...
