$1999 for an M1 Max and 500 GB of storage, that does not come with a display or keyboard, is basically Apple saying, "we're just not giving away M1 Max for less than 2 Gs"
There is no way it should cost this much when a full MacBook Pro with M1 Max costs a mere $500 more.
Same, really wanted the M1 Pro in a mini/studio as the M1 Max is more than I need and want to pay.
Although I'm a bit disappointed by the display, it does make sense.
- Similar 5k 27" monitors cost almost as much
- Mini-led and Promotion 120HZ are way too expensive, there's a reason why the XDR display costs that much
They just had to offer a display that goes with the Mac Studio right now, and this is the best they could do. If you want MiniLED and Promotion for this price... wait 5 years +

No he clearly stated that the transition is complete except the Mac Pro. The iMac 27” iMac is no more
Always get trade values locked in before an Apple Event.
Who’s twisting your arm to buy it? Is it greed if people are willing to pay the price? Get a clue. I’m buying a Mac Studio and the Studio Display. So there.
The entry level Studio being at $1,999 (on par with the entry level MacBook Pro) implies that there's still some sort of a Mac mini upgrade along the line, right? I really can't imagine this replacing the more affordable Mac mini.
They are if you want a 5K one, because there aren’t any. The whole PC monitor space has coalesced around lower resolutions and higher refresh rates (in higher quality displays) because of the gaming thing where refresh rates are valued over resolution or color accuracy. So they all pretty much top out at 4K at most, and lots more are sold at 1440p or even 1080p.
That said, for $2000, I’d want the mini-LED backlighting of the MacBook Pro displays. Until that (and >60Hz refresh rates) comes to this product, count me out.
Good enough != same. There is no 4K TV on the market that can be used the same as a monitor and have the same experience. Even that 48" C1 has to be placed at the very back of a desk.
The Studio should start at $1499, and the display should start $999 without a stand.
They overreached dramatically here. The greed is absurd.

Selling stock over a typical product announcement is foolish.
The mini-LED would've been costly for them to implement, but I'm not so sure about the 120 Hz.
a) it would have not been that cheap (think $1699)
b) the current base would be at least $100 more if it was a BTO
Base is 2299€ so I guess I'm gonna be a sucka for that price....
Yeah they very much are worse than anything Apple produces. Sorry. I'll die on this hill all day long. The display market is garbage.
I bought a 2021 Toyota carolla NOW THERES A 2022 CAROLLA with 3mpg better and a new head unit????!?!!?!?
ABSURD GREED
So they just killed the 27" iMac product line!!! I double-checked the UK and USA stores and there are no references to 27" iMac anymore so it's all gone!!! Good Bye large iMacs!
All they had to do was to fatten that same Studio display a little and glue the M1 MAX chip inside and I would have been happy. But no, Apple wants me to buy two separate products instead...

How is this analogy even remotely relevant? What because they are both cars and these are both Macs? LOL. No.
The 512GB of storage on the base Mac Studio still feels like nickel and diming., I see they have a good 32GB of RAM as a base but 1TB of SSD isn't too much to ask for when you are paying $2K.
The Mini Ultra seems a bit more overpriced at double the price, but at least they have something that is now a Pro grade desktop.

A few months ago I picked up last year's LG 38" Ultra Wide 1440p monitor for $1k. It's not 4 or 5k, but if you just want a huge monitor that is REALLY good, it's great.
