  • Samsung's Studio Display rival finally coming in August

    wozwozwozwoz
    The problem (amongst others) with the Apple Studio Display is that you cannot lower it in height. Even the so-called height adjustable version of Apple's monitor only goes upwards (not downwards). And it is ergonomically too high to start with (apparently raised to allow the Mac Studio to fit underneath it, leading to further ergonomic fails. The Samsung also lets you change into portrait mode which is pretty cool. Hopefully Apple's next version will fix these flaws.

  • Apple's Studio Display doesn't shine in the light of competition

    wozwozwozwoz

    Great review. There are a number of design issues with the current version of the Apple Studio Display:

    * it sits too high (and even the base is higher than the iMac base), which is a problem unless you are tall or work standing up.

    * the so-called height adjustable stand ONLY allows the height to go upwards - it does not offer any settings that result in the monitor sitting lower than the fixed version. 

    * the 60Hz refresh rate, 

    * no HRD

    * the hardwired rear cable

    * the hole in the stand that is visible from the front (because they set the monitor too high)

    * webcam quality problems

    * monitor technology is years old

    * only supports Thunderbolt 3 (when the accompanying Mac supports Thunderbolt 4)

    * cannot change from Landscape to Portrait with standard stand.

  • Apple Studio Display review: How badly do you want an all-Apple experience?

    " Going for the tilt- and height-adjustable version adds the ability to shift the height up and down"  

    No - the so-called height adjustable stand ONLY allows the height to go upwards - it does not offer any settings that result in the monitor sitting lower than the fixed version. This is yet another major design flaw in the Studio Display ... along with:
    * the 60Hz refresh rate,
    * no HDR
    * the hardwired rear cable
    * the hole in the stand that is visible from the front (because they set the monitor too high)
    * webcam quality problems
    * monitor technology is years old
    * only supports Thunderbolt 3 (when the accompanying Mac supports Thunderbolt 4)
    * cannot change from Landscape to Portrait with standard stand.

  • First ARM-based MacBook coming by end of 2020, says Ming-Chi Kuo

    wozwozwozwoz
    If it is so powerful and wonderful, why not start by replacing the Mac Pro with this piece of wunder ARM supercomputing?  Oh - they are not - apparently!??  Oh wait - It is for the lowest-end entry model. i.e. read it as pile of low end designed to save costs. Methinks a distraction, confusion and a waste of time.

  • Apple's new Mac Pro is being manufactured in China

    wozwozwozwoz
    Apple will not need to build the new Mac Pro in mass quantities, because they are only going to sell 102 of them. Or some small number catering to a high-end niche. Given what is happening at the political level, that decision to produce a niche high-end product off-shore appears to be ill-considered, and will very likely soon be the subject of a tariff. That should come as no surprise.
