Same, though I'm secretly hoping it'll be a 30"

iMac "bigger" will probably return eventually, priced like iMac 27" pro was priced.
In other words, I suspect a lot of people hoping for a 27" revival are hoping for 27" pricing too. With Studio Monitor showing Apple "we" will pay almost as much for only the iMac screen alone, expect the computing guts added into that screen to add MBpro-like price on top of Studio Display pricing, minus a bit for duplicate parts like MBpro screen. My best guess:

My best guess:
- "starting at" $2999,
- nicely specced: $3999-$4999,
- loaded: $7K-$12K.
Anyone else notice that the Mac Studio on the refurb store has a financing option? (Notably still not the Apple Card 0% option.) I don't recall ever seeing that available for any other refurb options on Apple's .com store. I wonder if that is a mistake.
If you don't want to pay full price for brand new...Apple refurbished is the best option for product reliability, warranty coverage and support.
I had no problem with the price of the Max/1TB Studio I ordered. It was the fan whine that generated a return. It was perfect in every other way.
So close, Apple, so close. I know from your other products you can do silent at idle. If you choose to bring that to the Studio/M3 in 2023 (2024?) I and my money are ready to go.
Same, really. I want the internals of the Studio placed into an AIO. I like keeping a tidy desk.
There was only one model (the base model) available earliest this morning. But now there are over 20 models/variants available.
Studio Display is pretty great imho, image quality is awesome with true retina 2x. I’ve bought one, not cheap but I love it everyday.
This is cool since it has a bunch of custom configs in stock, now if only they were the 14 and 16 inch MBP.
Tell me if I'm wrong but the last time I looked, refurnished prices were not much less than educational pricing.
Looks like a waste of time for anyone with access to educational pricing.

I may have said this before, but this is worth it for anyone who needs an M1 Ultra Mac Studio asap. Buying a new one won't arrive until the middle of September.
Edit: Sorry for not answering your question, but yes they are the same exact price as the educational pricing.

All true but it seems like under current CEO, former logistical legend COO they've done what they're best at these days. They found a way to make money off the whole thing. They have a whole system in place to reduce the cost and make more than it costs off these still expensive refurbs.
There have been behavioral economics studies on this. Retailers with generous return policies typically have more purchases and more return customers without many more actual returns because the customer probably wants the product he’s trial buying.
