The Mac Studio doesn’t need such a cable, though it is a nice braided one like on the HomePod, giving it an added touch of durability. It also doesn’t have the iMac’s nifty power brick with a built-in ethernet plug. The Mac Studio doesn’t have a magnetic connector like the 24-inch iMac instead, it uses a standard three-prong plug for the power adapter. While we set up the Mac Studio here with two displays, it can support up to five. Compared to the various performance PCs on the market with their see-through cases, LED piping, and yes, even fins, the Mac Studio is, quite simply, elegant. I found that after using it for a week and experiencing the Mac Studio’s performance, I appreciate the design even more-it’s powerful, a big block of muscle computing, sitting on the desk. One reader said, “It is a shoebox painted silver and looks terrible.” And my cohorts over at PCWorld had fun mocking the design (granted, they make fun of anything Apple does). Taste is a personal preference, and in a news article about the Mac Studio I said it looks “elegant.” And boy, that word triggered a lot of people, based on the emails and tweets I got.

While small, however, the Mac Studio isn’t meant to be a portable Mac, so you won’t be grabbing it nearly as often as a MacBook Pro. The Mac Studio’s top and bottom edges are quite sharp- by comparison, the MacBook Pro has smooth, rounded edges.
The Mac Studio is available only in silver-as is the Studio Display, so they match nicely. The bottom of the Mac Studio has the product logo surrounded by air vents.
