You won't be unhappy. I have two of these - one for my work Mac, and one for my personal Mac, and I'm beyond pleased with them.
No, it's what math wants you to think.That's what Apple wants you to think.
The 'Mac Studio' title not being centered with the handle is... odd.
Willful ignorance, confirmation bias, bad at math, not technically inclined...?? I am trying to figure out where all of this wrong info is coming from.
They don't give you CPU, GPU, RAM, I/O upgrades for free.
Tim is on the phone right now with MKBHD and iJustine trying to ease tensions over this.
in case others haven't seen them yet, here are all the pics from the original linked article (which was here)...
Impressive. The first "fake box" post didn't take long.
The caution explosive battery shipping label sure looks legit.
The handle reminds me of the Nike Sport Loop Strap for Apple Watch.
Not true 5K though.This is what I was thinking about, personally.

I am amazed that whenever a new Apple product comes out, there is some "lucky" person who get the item ahead of schedule...someone who is willing to post pictures online.

What are the chances of that actually happening, right? Like one in a million?
Oh wait...

If this guy is faking it, he's doing an amazing job with the renders. That woodgrain work is top notch.
I wonder if each scene was rendered with the new Mac Studio... or the M-Series Mac Pro? ?
Exactly. It's not just the price Foxconn submits for components in a device bidding project, plus an arbitrary markup Apple pulls from their behind that you pay for in the end. People seem to forget that R&D also plays its role in pricing strategies, as well as marketing, industrial design for everything related to the final product, customs, international taxes and operations, a lot of shipping charges for materials you wouldn't even imagine are involved in the final product, listings and approvals costs from technical watchdogs from around the globe, and yes, even post-sale services, software updates, etc.

Really? Ever seen a Facebook page? Average Joe or Jill will post photos of being the first to buy a slurpy at a new 7/11 opening... or the first tree or rock they see off of a tour bus... or their new shoes... or baby's first belch, etc.
Obviously a person buying a pricey Mac is going to be excited about it. It seems pretty plausible they would do some research first, discover sites like this one, discover how excited Apple crowds are with "firsts" (even if it's in only a first post in a thread) and then in getting to actually be first of a meaningful thing- several days early- post some pics to show off their new toy.
Congrats to them for their 15 minutes of tech fame.
Meanwhile, as soon as they fire it up, it will call the mothership. Apple will know EXACTLY which store made this mistake and some poor employee or two are possibly going to lose their jobs in the morning.

And yet, depending on workload, it’s superior. The ultra wide real estate is more valuable to me than a more dense PPI. I use it mostly for business functions and surfing.
It’s probably better for video timeline editing too.
So how long before Apple makes them take the photo down and have them wait till Thursday morning to post the review? (Press review units went out already but they all have to wait till Thursday to post the review of the product under the embargo)
I bought a 1O year old Canon camera last week and the box had the same battery warning. Batteries are huge btw but must have that label for a reason.
And yes it is a great camera.
All my Macs had a handle on the boxes until c2015 laptops. I’ll check as still have most boxes. Imac certainly had handle. And it held the weight. Packaging was so fantastically done.
I ordered Mac Studio Ultra just as the store reopened and the website says that they are preparing to ship and it is due between 3/18 adn 3/22. Hopefully it will arrive soon. My 2012 MacPro is getting a little long in the tooth and I am looking forward to getting my first new Mac in 10 years.
