wifi Mac studio

[CMT63]

I guess the Mac Studio has also WiFi, which type by the way ???.

Also when the rumors started about a new macvmini design there were mackups of the new mac mini with a plastic lid (perspex = PMMA). This should give better wifi connectivity. But the mac studio is completely from Al. So does the mac studio also suffer from these wifi connectivity issues like the present all metal mac mini ?

Mac Studio has Wi-Fi 6. I don’t know about the connectivity issues of the Mac mini, but I doubt it’s a widespread issue

WiFi 6 on M1 is good, never had any problems with it. Wish the new Studios had 6E but what can u do

6E might be good, if you have a mesh system that compensates for the transmission loss at high frequencies.

Another thing WHY we in The Netherlands have to pay more than 1000 euro's more (yes also taking the $/euro into account) for exactly the same configuration ??? It thought Mac proces all over the world were the same but that has changed i guess.

Increased distribution and warehousing costs.

Increased retail store costs.

Different taxes.

Superior warranty over the US that needs paying for.

I second the reasons @Lihp8270 mentioned.
Also, as far as I can see prices are the same not only in the Netherlands, but the whole EU. Did you also take into account that US prices are shown without taxes and EU prices including taxes? That is already a difference of roughly 20% to start with (on top what is already said in the previous post).

EDIT:
I just checked the following for the Mac Studio (M1 Max version):
- In the US (Apple.us) the price starts at $1999 (prices shown excluding taxes I assume).
- In the Netherlands (Apple.nl and also the rest of the EU) prices start around EUR 2329.- (prices shown including taxes).

When deducting around 20% (tax) of the EU price I come at a result of around EUR 1864.- Taking the $/Euro into account the dollar and euro amount are roughly the same. I certainly don't see a price difference of 1000 euro's here.

Maybe you compared the M1 Max (US) to the M1 Ultra (EU) by accident?

Or maybe I looked wrong and missed something?

We Flatlanders are known for forgetting about the non US tax, to complain about pricing

Its the VAT basically, the base Mac Studio starts at €2499 over here in Greece because our VAT is 24%!
