WEBVTT

00:00:00.799 --> 00:00:06.560
Mac Pro oh sorry sorry studio uh mini no

00:00:04.279 --> 00:00:10.840
Studio definitely Studio that's what it says right there Mac Studio this is

00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:18.640
something that's been a long time coming people have been anticipating a Mac Pro

00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:20.080
Mini for quite some time now and well

00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:25.880
this is it it's even got like this little Pro style handle here like the

00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:29.080
Mac Pro and the pro display xdr do what

00:00:25.880 --> 00:00:30.240
is well I've had a delivery these are

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

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:40.520
money but they're black and silver the

00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:46.960
Mac Studio is the first Mac that I know of that has front panel like actually

00:00:43.480 --> 00:00:48.960
front panel IO like the Mac Pro had top

00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:53.120
IO that I guess technically would count but like this is the first like desktop

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

00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:02.280
held out this long because the SD card

00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:07.159
slot is something that the the Mac Mini really should have had for so long like

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

00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:15.520
bandwagon these are USB hm are they four

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

00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:25.520
ultra version of this design these are

00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:30.840
Thunderbolt ports what is this packaging look at look at how this like apple what

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:34.560
is this why why does it have Wings anyway enough complaining about the

00:01:32.479 --> 00:01:38.720
packaging let's continue oh it's one of these things so

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:44.000
you just take this here you take get real good grip on

00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:44.000
it you don't have to do that

00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:47.439
it's

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

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

00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:07.520
being asked to do this gracefully let's see if I can do that uh

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

00:02:09.160 --> 00:02:16.040
this it's creased in a really weird way what is Apple's packaging up

00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:16.040
to

00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:20.280
oo and it just Falls

00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:30.200
away that is chalky it's it's actually wow it

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

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

00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:44.360
Mac Studio we've already seen pretty much everything that there is to see um

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

00:02:46.920 --> 00:02:52.480
front us USB type-c got the rear

00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:59.959
Thunderbolt gigb Ethernet 10 GB Ethernet sorry Mickey Mouse USB type a HDMI and

00:02:56.760 --> 00:03:01.599
the headphone Port um I am led to to

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

00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:08.720
look into that later first we need a way

00:03:06.959 --> 00:03:14.200
to actually interact with this thing thankfully we have the official

00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:16.360
peripherals all get in here magic

00:03:14.200 --> 00:03:22.159
Trackpad magic keyboard do we have the Magic Mouse too yeah we do so these are

00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:26.440
environmentally friendly packaged this is not it's got a

00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:33.200
plastic condom on it thought we were over this apple you'll be delighted to

00:03:28.760 --> 00:03:36.720
know they give you actually a nice um

00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:38.239
braided lightning cable to type c this

00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:45.480
is how you charge your mouse how much does this mouse cost jonno 100 bucks so

00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:47.840
your $100 mouse that um is actually an

00:03:45.480 --> 00:03:51.840
ergonomic nightmare like I cramp up hard trying to use these things that's how

00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:56.360
you charge it let's get the trackpad out next the

00:03:53.400 --> 00:04:00.680
trackpad oh yeah I know $149 for the black trackpad how much is

00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:05.400
the regular trackpad now to be clear this does have the force touch feature

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

00:04:08.239 --> 00:04:14.480
apple what are you doing but yeah like they could have made this more ergonomic

00:04:11.959 --> 00:04:19.479
with like a proper cable attachment point they could have made this bigger

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

00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:29.960
originally thought that this was unique to the new generation of peripherals as

00:04:27.880 --> 00:04:33.600
well soz I didn't think they had the the full size keyboard but apparently they

00:04:32.039 --> 00:04:37.800
do this is $200 I could break this over my knee I

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

00:04:42.880 --> 00:04:51.199
has some cool technology in their keyboard like touch ID right here it's

00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:53.039
nice but it's not very rigid and also

00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:58.199
why why do we have these can we have like a like an Apple

00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:02.759
keyboard please like an actual like none none of the magic none of the magic just

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

00:05:05.400 --> 00:05:12.320
has done in the past that I see them

00:05:09.520 --> 00:05:17.479
capitalizing on now with products that are honestly not very good now that

00:05:14.840 --> 00:05:21.560
being said um I'm sure there are people who love this especially the lowprofile

00:05:19.520 --> 00:05:25.880
design I'm sure there are people who appreciate the fact that it feels the

00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:30.960
same as their MacBook or whatever but this is an ergonomic nightmare just like

00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:33.120
this is because it's so flat that

00:05:30.960 --> 00:05:37.319
basically in order to actually type on it you have to basically be mashing your

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

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

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

00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:53.720
before that this uh that's the robots they're

00:05:51.520 --> 00:05:58.199
watching me solve something for dbrand okay so like what this oh so this is

00:05:56.880 --> 00:06:01.240
actually like is this supposed to be like an easy mode rub Rubik's Cube and

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

00:06:04.039 --> 00:06:10.280
man this okay this is making my brain hurt talking points while he's

00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:15.120
struggling real leather available now for all your not just cables cubes sorry

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:21.520
cubes wow I am just fried thank you dbrand feels nice sure is sure does yeah

00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:27.160
you're supposed to visit dbrand.com shortlines he is short I'm not uh enter

00:06:24.880 --> 00:06:33.319
the code 5 foot one 5 foot one to get 15% off unless the

00:06:31.479 --> 00:06:40.120
video has been up for more than 15 minutes in which case the deal is over

00:06:35.960 --> 00:06:44.639
what maybe two people will ever get that

00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:47.759
discount code D BR basically you using

00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:49.919
me as the Implement for the this is what

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

00:06:52.680 --> 00:07:01.520
immortal words of Dave Jones from eev blog don't turn it on take it

00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:05.520
apart ah this is the softest aluminum in

00:07:01.520 --> 00:07:08.560
the world this thing just like being

00:07:05.520 --> 00:07:12.199
pushed this way to pry it open has

00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:15.280
mashed the aluminum good God I am

00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:18.000
assuming that this is in with Clips

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

00:07:19.919 --> 00:07:25.919
want to do that really not with these

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

00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:35.400
this oh I hate this oh I hate this what

00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:38.400
happened okay okay enough of it's come off now I can just peel

00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:48.680
it there is there is no excuse for why

00:07:45.479 --> 00:07:52.599
these screws had to be hidden under this

00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:54.520
aesthetic no clean design no this is

00:07:52.599 --> 00:07:59.639
unacceptable and in order to get into this this whole thing needs to be just

00:07:57.159 --> 00:08:06.199
destroyed and in order to replace it you just get another one of these basically

00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:10.199
well there's the internals I'm not going to like completely disassemble this

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

00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:17.879
little black tab as if anybody is ever going to see this this is probably

00:08:15.599 --> 00:08:23.840
because they're live these are the power supply screws these are going right down

00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:26.400
into metal that is conducting

00:08:23.840 --> 00:08:30.919
electricity why would you do this there's your power supply that's I think

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

00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:40.880
what's all this silicone crap I guess it's to keep the capacitors from moving

00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:46.839
but yeah these here uh these here contacts screws go through those they uh

00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:50.880
they touch these contacts down here that's where the power goes have fun all

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

00:08:53.279 --> 00:09:00.200
it's trivial to get much further they've built this thing in

00:08:57.800 --> 00:09:06.480
layers wait where are there in antenna points down there when this is the is

00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:10.160
that the hang on I need to get this out

00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:12.640
that is storage it has replaceable

00:09:10.160 --> 00:09:17.760
storage I'm pretty sure that's storage it's like not really marked what these

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

00:09:22.040 --> 00:09:30.680
you'll be able to get replacement ssds for this that are potentially bigger

00:09:27.160 --> 00:09:34.800
faster more reliable

00:09:30.680 --> 00:09:36.920
wait there's a second storage slot so

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:09.440
anything like that I just want to see unobstructed the view of the board pull

00:10:06.839 --> 00:10:09.440
the cooler off

00:10:09.920 --> 00:10:16.399
the mostly what I wanted to do was uh

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

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

00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:28.399
get this plate out of the way um even

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

00:10:29.959 --> 00:10:34.800
thermal testing because this one actually has a different cooler I think

00:10:33.040 --> 00:10:40.079
than the M1 Ultra version that's aluminum versus copper uh for today

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

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

00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:53.279
these are in boards and they're in their solid so it's actually pretty unlikely

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

00:10:55.880 --> 00:11:01.440
it is replaceable so maybe not a repairability score of

00:10:59.920 --> 00:11:06.120
like this was actually a little bit more trivial to get into than I expected but

00:11:03.839 --> 00:11:11.399
it does require you to that power supply is dangerous a f the uninitiated yeah

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

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

00:11:19.079 --> 00:11:25.240
that's that's the reason cuz they just that's their connection line voltage oh

00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:29.720
no that's no that's not line voltage 12 Vol or something yeah 12

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

00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:41.320
expecting to get interrupted uh I was going to close it out so yeah line is

00:11:37.800 --> 00:11:42.680
go this real cool huh I don't know why

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

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

00:11:49.959 --> 00:11:54.720
very first instinct was that there were screws under this thing but I was like

00:11:53.079 --> 00:11:58.279
no they couldn't possibly because that would require them to actually you know

00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:02.959
break it to get back in but apparently that's what Apple does now this killed

00:12:00.839 --> 00:12:06.680
you emotionally a little bit but you know what doesn't kill me emotionally

00:12:05.160 --> 00:12:10.279
ShortCircuit you should get subscribed we do all kinds of unboxings not all of

00:12:08.839 --> 00:12:14.639
them are like this not all of them have rage if you want another one with rage

00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:18.000
the LG Graham that I reviewed a little while ago that was pretty rage that was

00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.440
that was a different kind of video for me
