Looks nice, I shucked an OWC Thunderbolt SSD enclosure to add my own larger blade at similar speeds, this sounds easier. But why is it double wide and offset to one side? I hope it’s because they’re going to offer a dual SSD option! If it had Thunde…

Good news! They make some nice hardware, I hope they add software support for more products too like their webcams and game controllers.

I agree it's strange this review didn't make a single mention of the widespread catastrophic failures with SanDisk Extreme / Pro SSDs a couple years ago. Can we ever trust them again? It's not just that they had a hardware problem, but how they pret…

CodeWeavers the company is one of the primary financial backers and development contributors to the open source WINE project. So being able to use WINE on its own, or via CrossOver, is in large part thanks to CodeWeavers. If you like or depend on WI…

Definitely good to support Codeweavers financially. Look out for their periodic sales, especially Black Friday. When you start your subscription during a sale period, it will conveniently come up for renewal during the next year's sale!

Well, it happened! I'm glad that Apple didn't do the 3 price tier structure that I mused about, M4 Max for $2000 is a way better starting point. And I'm glad they made the M3 Ultra better than simply M3 Max x 2, with Thunderbolt 5, and 512GB max RAM…

Thinking about it more, they could use the “Tim Cook doctrine” to lower the entry price of the Mac Studio with the M3 Max. Something like… $1799 M3 Max $2799 M4 Max $3799 M3 Ultra A price cut compared to last gen would at least soften the blow of …

I think you meant to write “That was in part because the M4 Max was already available in the MacBook Pro.” There is no Mac Pro with M4 Max of course. As to the rumor, offering an M3 Ultra and M4 Max at the same time seems pretty weird, and also a …

Finally, a shotgun mic with a headphone jack! This is so rare, and would be so useful on entry-level DSLR type cameras like my Panasonic G7 that lack their own headphone jack. Granted, it's not going to tell you exactly how it's truly being captured…

This is cool, I hadn't heard about this before. Valve recently gave away Half-Life for free or very cheap, can't remember, but yeah the Mac version on Steam is 32-bit only which won't work on any Mac OS after Mojave / Catalina. So combining those of…

AppleInsider said: There's been a lot of complaints about terrible Wi-Fi with the new under-mounted docks -- now you know why. Great article Mike, thanks for sharing your experiences. This is the first I’m hearing about wifi problems wit…

macnavarra said: Bye the way Mac mini m2, pro and Studio you must do "Soldering!" lol a hairdryer will do it to replace the ssd and only a Apple ssd will do it. All models of Mac Studio got turnkey SSD upgrades from Polysoft two month…

Penzi said: Looking forward to seeing if this works on the upcoming M4/5 Mac Studio. And the pricing/timing on an 8TB SSD… From the expandmacmini.com website:Where are the 4TB and 8TB options?Currently, the maximum storage available for th…

Love to see the faster SSD, ethernet, and USB ports! Finally Thunderbolt starts to seem like an actually viable replacement for PCIe slots, for some basic I/O purposes. Asus also has announced a TB5 dock with fast NVMe and 2.5Gbe, surely more to com…

Oh really! Fantastic. Abxylute doesn't mention it on their website either.

So glad there is another iPad Mini compatible USB-C wired game controller available FINALLY, for a lot less than the Razer Kishi Ultra! I only wish this one had a 3.5mm headphone jack. Saw this one on Kickstarter but decided to sleep on it then, tha…

I've had a 2016 and a 2019 15" Macbook Pro that both had the speakers crap out after a couple years. One side would only play high frequencies, and the other side would only play low frequencies. I don't use the speakers all that much, I don't know …

Glad you covered this project, it mostly got missed by the Apple news ecosystem. Hopefully the early adopters of these Mac Studio storage upgrades will find that it does work well, some of the skeptics can be reassured, and the Mac Mini version they…
