Good incremental improvement; not a must upgrade
on September 30, 2022
Posted by: tobewiser
Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent incremental improvements over the 1st gen. Not a huge leap but welcome changes. Battery life is about an hour longer. Space Audio is kind of gimmicky, esp. during phone calls. Audio quality is about 20% better but not a huge reason to upgrade. Noise cancellation is slightly more precise. Overall it is not a must have upgrade but a nice to have.

Make charging your Apple Watch utterly effortless. Fast charge your Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra.* Simply hold the connector near the back of the watch, where magnets cause it to snap into place automatically. It~s a completely sealed system free of exposed contacts. And it~s very forgiving, requiring no precise alignment. Fast charging is only compatible with Apple Watch Series 7 and newer models. Other models will have regular charge times.

Be aware: not braided like the Ultra OEM
on September 30, 2022
Posted by: tobewiser
Verified Purchase:Yes
Indeed faster than the old USB-A version by quick a bit. I purchased this one as my backup to the one that comes with the Ultra. The only negative is that this is not braided like the one packaged with the Ultra.

Ergo alternative that works well with Mac
on May 7, 2022
Posted by: tobewiser
Verified Purchase:Yes
Much better ergonomics than the bigger MX Vertical. Fine movements can be made by the wrist and not the entire hand/forearm with the MX Vertical. Natural touch and the design fits comfortably between the thumb and the index finger. The silent click takes a bit to get used to and is an easy transition. I wish the grey version is available for the left hand. (I prefer using a mouse with my left hand but I can use either hands.) The color scheme matches the Mac very well, esp. the white Magic Keyboard and the Magic Touchpad. I use the Lift with my Mac Studio. Bluetooth pairing is very easy and the software needed for configuration is okay (currently still in beta). Battery life shows alongside with all my Magic input devices and presents an integrated look and feel to the Mac. This is the only vertical mouse I've tried that actually works well, esp. in a Mac system.

Introducing Mac Studio. A remarkably compact powerhouse that fits right on your desk with advanced connectivity for your studio setup. Choose the ferociously fast M1 Max~the most powerful chip ever created for a computer.

Relatively affordable power house
on April 17, 2022
Posted by: tobewiser
A replacement of my 2013 Mac Pro. What a power house it is. Everything is faster and instant. Logic Pro X, Final Cut Pro all run faster with no latency. I have a TB2 external RAID connected to it and file transfers are super fast. It runs super quiet even at heavy load (Logic Pro X: 32 track mix down). I have the M1 Max base configuration and is more than adequate. (Very glad not waiting and paying for the M1 Ultra!) This is a rare high value Mac in Apple's product line up (compared to the current Intel-based Mac Pros). I paired it with the Studio Display and they are a perfect match as designed. A very well designed, well made, high performer at a relatively affordable (in the Apple world) full-feature desktop powerhouse for any serious Mac desktop user.
BTW: Migration Assistant during set up is very easy and painless to use. The only hick up is Apple iCloud server taking a long time (over 2 hours) to recognize the new Mac in my iCloud account.

Sharp, Mac centric, pricey, well made
on April 17, 2022
Posted by: tobewiser
Other than the price, the monitor is an excellent and almost a necessary display for any desktop Mac user. Many complaints about it not being mini LED or its size not being bigger are understandable but one must keep in mind the price point, especially that of Apple's. If it was mini-LED and was 32", then it would be $3000+ like the 32" HDR display (not even being a true mini LED). As it is, the 27" is very efficient, bright, and hi-re enough for almost any task. I pair it with the new Mac Studio and it is a perfect match as designed. The speakers are overrated but is handy to be a spare. Sharpness at 5K is very noticeable when a compatible Mac is connected to it. Text is crystal clear, skin tone in photos are excellent. The calibration profiles are useful for different applications and are easy to switch. Apple designed this monitor for the Mac; connection to other non Apple devices limits its features and functionality a great deal. The TB3 connection is stable, efficient, and tidy. I also use the USB-C ports to charge my Magic Keyboard and TouchPad. Overall it's not perfect but a good and relatively affordable Mac display.

Improved key touch but stop short of mechanical feel. Touch ID work quite well with Mac Studio. Lay flat with no tilt adjustment. Battery life is ok. USB-c charging is great with Studio display. Bluetooth is responsive with no latency. Well made but pricey

Magic Trackpad is wireless and rechargeable, and it includes the full range of Multi-Touch gestures and Force Touch technology. Sensors underneath the trackpad surface detect subtle differences in the amount of pressure you apply, bringing more functionality to your fingertips and enabling a deeper connection to your content. It features a large edge-to-edge glass surface area, making scrolling and swiping through your favorite content more productive and comfortable than ever.

Excellent performance overall, pricey
on April 17, 2022
Posted by: tobewiser
Verified Purchase:Yes
Much improved over the first generation. The texture surface is effective: smooth but not slippery with no drag. Battery life is ok and usb-c charging is great with the Studio Display. The only reason for one star short if 5: over priced.

Add more sound where you need it. Give movie night a boost with sound that envelopes you. This sound bar plus subwoofer with 2.1 channels delivers great audio quality in a minimalist design. An ideal sound bar to match TVs 40~ and up.

OK sound, muddy bass, wall mounting is not easy
on January 11, 2022
Posted by: tobewiser
Verified Purchase:Yes
Good value for the money. Sounds clear with adequate amount of bass. The quality of the bass is a bit muddy. The wall mount design is more difficult than necessary. The cable recess area is poorly designed and is hard to get to once the soundbar is mounted on a wall. The sub's wireless pairing is easy and automatic. For a small room with just 2.1 channel (e.g., watching TV) or sources with 2 channel PCM digital content, this soundbar setup is okay. The HDMI (ARC) function works well.
