Apple Developing 'Mac Studio,' Described as a Mac Mini and Mac Pro Hybrid

[CWallace]

Can the Mac Studio be easily opened to clean dust?

We'll know for sure once iFixIt takes one apart, but I am hoping this will be true.

I see that the Studio ships with a mains power lead, rather than an external power brick. This means that the machine contains a PSU.

This is not a good thing.

Why?

Most people really have an active dislike for 'brick on a rope' power supplies. I had a TV that had over 3 feet of cable (1 meter?) between the brick and the connector to the TV, and it was a major pain. Either they are far too long, or ridiculously too short. My bike trainer 'brick on a rope' puts the brick directly under the deluge of sweat. Sweat and AC power do not mix well...

End the brick on a rope, for me anyway...

I'm betting no. Some older Mini's weren't exactly easy to open either, requiring a 'special tool' to trip the catches once the disc was off the bottom.

I think we called it 2 hours early!
Applen have removed 27”
iMac from store.

And, it’s been confirmed that the 27” is EOL. Not surprising considering what we know now.
