Some of the above options require you to interact with the Mac mini somewhat regularly, while others are almost totally hands-off. Plug it into the wall, connect a mouse and keyboard, hook up a monitor and you are all set. There’s a lot there, so let’s dig right in.īut first, let’s talk about what you are actually going to need.įortunately, setting up your Mac mini is fairly simple.

If you're looking for a similar, slightly more affordable display, you can buy the LG's UltraFine 5K monitor ($1,297)- but not from Apple, who conveniently removed them from its store now that the Studio Display is out in the world. The Studio Monitor is truly the perfect partner for the Mac you already have (or for the also-just-announced Mac Studio, should you get that beast), but it might not be worth it for people who have already invested heavily in an expensive desktop speaker system, external webcam and mic.

(I needed one to upload photos from my SD card, for example.) There's also no headphone jack, either, so if you use wired headphones, you'll have to connect them directly through your Mac. It has three USB-C ports, plus one Thunderbolt for connecting to your Mac - meaning you'll likely have to get an adaptor or a docking station to connect some of your peripherals. Aside from price, one of the only gripes I have with the Studio Monitor is that its port selection leaves a little to be desired.
