1
00:00:00,799 --> 00:00:06,560
Mac Pro oh sorry sorry studio uh mini no

2
00:00:04,279 --> 00:00:10,840
Studio definitely Studio that's what it says right there Mac Studio this is

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:18,640
something that's been a long time coming people have been anticipating a Mac Pro

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:20,080
Mini for quite some time now and well

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:25,880
this is it it's even got like this little Pro style handle here like the

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:29,080
Mac Pro and the pro display xdr do what

7
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:30,240
is well I've had a delivery these are

8
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:37,640
these are the peripherals that go with it I'll talk about these later they cost a lot they cost a lot of

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:40,520
money but they're black and silver the

10
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:46,960
Mac Studio is the first Mac that I know of that has front panel like actually

11
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:48,960
front panel IO like the Mac Pro had top

12
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:53,120
IO that I guess technically would count but like this is the first like desktop

13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:59,440
desktop Mac that's meant to sit on your desk honestly it it's amazing that Apple

14
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:02,280
held out this long because the SD card

15
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:07,159
slot is something that the the Mac Mini really should have had for so long like

16
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:14,040
Why didn't it have an SD card slot of course we're still uh on the USB type-c

17
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:15,520
bandwagon these are USB hm are they four

18
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:23,079
no they just say type-c so I think these are the USB 3 point whatever uh on the

19
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:25,520
ultra version of this design these are

20
00:01:23,079 --> 00:01:30,840
Thunderbolt ports what is this packaging look at look at how this like apple what

21
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,560
is this why why does it have Wings anyway enough complaining about the

22
00:01:32,479 --> 00:01:38,720
packaging let's continue oh it's one of these things so

23
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:44,000
you just take this here you take get real good grip on

24
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:44,000
it you don't have to do that

25
00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:47,439
it's

26
00:01:47,479 --> 00:01:56,479
stop all right let's get it out of here this this box okay props to Apple this

27
00:01:53,600 --> 00:02:01,719
is like the most one of the most complex cardboard boxes I've seen in a while I'm

28
00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:07,520
being asked to do this gracefully let's see if I can do that uh

29
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:11,080
okay so it doesn't come that way even though it's creased this way see look at

30
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:16,040
this it's creased in a really weird way what is Apple's packaging up

31
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,040
to

32
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,280
oo and it just Falls

33
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:30,200
away that is chalky it's it's actually wow it

34
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:35,720
actually is like a Mac Mini but bigger so we've got the Mac Mini or Mac

35
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:40,080
Mini oh man it's going to take a while to get out of that habit so we got the

36
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:44,360
Mac Studio we've already seen pretty much everything that there is to see um

37
00:02:42,599 --> 00:02:49,920
yep it's a big hunk of aluminum it's heavy it's got the SD card slots got the

38
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:52,480
front us USB type-c got the rear

39
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:59,959
Thunderbolt gigb Ethernet 10 GB Ethernet sorry Mickey Mouse USB type a HDMI and

40
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,599
the headphone Port um I am led to to

41
00:02:59,959 --> 00:03:06,959
believe that it is possible to get this off I'm not quite sure how maybe I'll

42
00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:08,720
look into that later first we need a way

43
00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:14,200
to actually interact with this thing thankfully we have the official

44
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:16,360
peripherals all get in here magic

45
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:22,159
Trackpad magic keyboard do we have the Magic Mouse too yeah we do so these are

46
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:26,440
environmentally friendly packaged this is not it's got a

47
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:33,200
plastic condom on it thought we were over this apple you'll be delighted to

48
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:36,720
know they give you actually a nice um

49
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,239
braided lightning cable to type c this

50
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:45,480
is how you charge your mouse how much does this mouse cost jonno 100 bucks so

51
00:03:41,319 --> 00:03:47,840
your $100 mouse that um is actually an

52
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:51,840
ergonomic nightmare like I cramp up hard trying to use these things that's how

53
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:56,360
you charge it let's get the trackpad out next the

54
00:03:53,400 --> 00:04:00,680
trackpad oh yeah I know $149 for the black trackpad how much is

55
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:05,400
the regular trackpad now to be clear this does have the force touch feature

56
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:10,319
so like it's got the haptic feedback so it's $20 more for a black trackpad like

57
00:04:08,239 --> 00:04:14,480
apple what are you doing but yeah like they could have made this more ergonomic

58
00:04:11,959 --> 00:04:19,479
with like a proper cable attachment point they could have made this bigger

59
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:25,440
or something to justify that extra price you know Studio ofy it right and I'm I

60
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:29,960
originally thought that this was unique to the new generation of peripherals as

61
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:33,600
well soz I didn't think they had the the full size keyboard but apparently they

62
00:04:32,039 --> 00:04:37,800
do this is $200 I could break this over my knee I

63
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:44,639
wouldn't actually I wouldn't even have to look how much this flexes this is it sucks because Apple

64
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:51,199
has some cool technology in their keyboard like touch ID right here it's

65
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:53,039
nice but it's not very rigid and also

66
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:58,199
why why do we have these can we have like a like an Apple

67
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:02,759
keyboard please like an actual like none none of the magic none of the magic just

68
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:09,520
just give me the give me the Apple see I have respect for the things that Apple

69
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:12,320
has done in the past that I see them

70
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:17,479
capitalizing on now with products that are honestly not very good now that

71
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:21,560
being said um I'm sure there are people who love this especially the lowprofile

72
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:25,880
design I'm sure there are people who appreciate the fact that it feels the

73
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:30,960
same as their MacBook or whatever but this is an ergonomic nightmare just like

74
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:33,120
this is because it's so flat that

75
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:37,319
basically in order to actually type on it you have to basically be mashing your

76
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:40,800
desk H this wasn't supposed to be a review of this but I I just hate this so

77
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:45,280
much and it doesn't even have any tilt or anything it's just the pads there you

78
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:47,840
there you go yeah so Mac Studio let's see if we can take this thing apart but

79
00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:53,720
before that this uh that's the robots they're

80
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:58,199
watching me solve something for dbrand okay so like what this oh so this is

81
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,240
actually like is this supposed to be like an easy mode rub Rubik's Cube and

82
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:06,199
I'm supposed to fail at it or something cuz that's kind of what's Happening ah

83
00:06:04,039 --> 00:06:10,280
man this okay this is making my brain hurt talking points while he's

84
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:15,120
struggling real leather available now for all your not just cables cubes sorry

85
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:21,520
cubes wow I am just fried thank you dbrand feels nice sure is sure does yeah

86
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:27,160
you're supposed to visit dbrand.com shortlines he is short I'm not uh enter

87
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:33,319
the code 5 foot one 5 foot one to get 15% off unless the

88
00:06:31,479 --> 00:06:40,120
video has been up for more than 15 minutes in which case the deal is over

89
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:44,639
what maybe two people will ever get that

90
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:47,759
discount code D BR basically you using

91
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:49,919
me as the Implement for the this is what

92
00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:55,000
I had to do today all right jonno what do you say we turn this on no in the

93
00:06:52,680 --> 00:07:01,520
immortal words of Dave Jones from eev blog don't turn it on take it

94
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:05,520
apart ah this is the softest aluminum in

95
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:08,560
the world this thing just like being

96
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:12,199
pushed this way to pry it open has

97
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:15,280
mashed the aluminum good God I am

98
00:07:12,199 --> 00:07:18,000
assuming that this is in with Clips

99
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:23,720
Perhaps it is all friction fit in which case I need to go around and I don't

100
00:07:19,919 --> 00:07:25,919
want to do that really not with these

101
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:32,680
there's no screws is there or I don't think so unless there's screws under

102
00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:35,400
this oh I hate this oh I hate this what

103
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:38,400
happened okay okay enough of it's come off now I can just peel

104
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:48,680
it there is there is no excuse for why

105
00:07:45,479 --> 00:07:52,599
these screws had to be hidden under this

106
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:54,520
aesthetic no clean design no this is

107
00:07:52,599 --> 00:07:59,639
unacceptable and in order to get into this this whole thing needs to be just

108
00:07:57,159 --> 00:08:06,199
destroyed and in order to replace it you just get another one of these basically

109
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:10,199
well there's the internals I'm not going to like completely disassemble this

110
00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:14,159
thing I just want to see how far we can go look there's screws hidden under this

111
00:08:12,199 --> 00:08:17,879
little black tab as if anybody is ever going to see this this is probably

112
00:08:15,599 --> 00:08:23,840
because they're live these are the power supply screws these are going right down

113
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:26,400
into metal that is conducting

114
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:30,919
electricity why would you do this there's your power supply that's I think

115
00:08:28,159 --> 00:08:35,519
380 WTS if I'm not mistaken it's pretty small they glued the crap out of it

116
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:40,880
what's all this silicone crap I guess it's to keep the capacitors from moving

117
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:46,839
but yeah these here uh these here contacts screws go through those they uh

118
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:50,880
they touch these contacts down here that's where the power goes have fun all

119
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:56,080
right I don't know how much further I want to go uh cuz it doesn't look like

120
00:08:53,279 --> 00:09:00,200
it's trivial to get much further they've built this thing in

121
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:06,480
layers wait where are there in antenna points down there when this is the is

122
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:10,160
that the hang on I need to get this out

123
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:12,640
that is storage it has replaceable

124
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:17,760
storage I'm pretty sure that's storage it's like not really marked what these

125
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:24,640
chips are but I'm pretty sure they're an N flash it's possible if not likely that

126
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:30,680
you'll be able to get replacement ssds for this that are potentially bigger

127
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:34,800
faster more reliable

128
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:36,920
wait there's a second storage slot so

129
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:41,720
there's one over here and there's one right here they're both the same slot

130
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:47,040
can I just point out how crap it is that we are expected to be impressed by that

131
00:09:44,079 --> 00:09:51,440
yeah it is pretty crap oh you know what I could probably take this Frame off I

132
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:55,920
don't know how much further I want to I keep saying that I don't know how much further I want to go but I kind of do

133
00:09:53,959 --> 00:09:59,920
want to keep going I just want to get this cage off so I can see underneath it

134
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:04,320
I'm not going to pull the cool off I'm not going to pull the main board out or

135
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:09,440
anything like that I just want to see unobstructed the view of the board pull

136
00:10:06,839 --> 00:10:09,440
the cooler off

137
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:16,399
the mostly what I wanted to do was uh

138
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:20,839
have a look inside and see what the main board looks like yeah let's just let's

139
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:25,680
not take it off yeah I'm not going to go any further than this I just wanted to

140
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:28,399
get this plate out of the way um even

141
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:31,399
though Jake's like ah do it or no balls yeah I'll do it after we've done our

142
00:10:29,959 --> 00:10:34,800
thermal testing because this one actually has a different cooler I think

143
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:40,079
than the M1 Ultra version that's aluminum versus copper uh for today

144
00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:44,120
it'll just have to end here one thing I'm noticing as I'm kind of reassembling

145
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:48,760
it a little bit here is that the I/O is actually very very modular like all of

146
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:53,279
these are in boards and they're in their solid so it's actually pretty unlikely

147
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:58,079
that you're going to ever act like end up breaking anything here and if you do

148
00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:01,440
it is replaceable so maybe not a repairability score of

149
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:06,120
like this was actually a little bit more trivial to get into than I expected but

150
00:11:03,839 --> 00:11:11,399
it does require you to that power supply is dangerous a f the uninitiated yeah

151
00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:15,880
check this out that's how it goes in and that's how it connects you just you just

152
00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:20,920
screwed screw it down yep that's that's exactly how the uh the iMac Pro died

153
00:11:19,079 --> 00:11:25,240
that's that's the reason cuz they just that's their connection line voltage oh

154
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:29,720
no that's no that's not line voltage 12 Vol or something yeah 12

155
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:34,959
Vol okay still still enough like current to really mess up your day yeah I wasn't

156
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:41,320
expecting to get interrupted uh I was going to close it out so yeah line is

157
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:42,680
go this real cool huh I don't know why

158
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:47,200
that was Elvis but you know it's so salty right now I don't know why I'm

159
00:11:45,079 --> 00:11:51,440
okay I know why I'm salty this was way too like I mean I guess I should have my

160
00:11:49,959 --> 00:11:54,720
