That’s sadly none of what I wanted. The Mac Studio is too expensive for me. All I wanted was the M1 Mac Mini with 32 GB of RAM. I guess I’ll stay with my 2010 Mac Pro for now.

I am so curious to see what is taking up so much space in the Studio that they need to add a second story.
The announcement made it look like the extra space was used for cooling - fans, air flow, etc.
