I wouldn’t get the CostCo deal unless you know that the height of the stand will work for you. I think the VESA version’s a better deal at full price.
That Mac Studio is tempting…that’s basically the same price as a 32GB M2 Pro Mini in a better form factor.
overpriced for me. I bought an iMac 5k during the “two weeks to flatten the curve” and I wish I could get rid of it now. I am a laptop + monitor person. now I have an extra computer and it irritates me.
Actually the cost can be much lower and this may be returned (need to confirm) anytime as it does not fall into TV or Computers with 90 Day return period.

Apple offered me a whopping $500 for it… If the monitor wasn’t crippled with no external input, I would just use it for my laptop monitor. Will pass it down eventually I guess when an indestructible 2013 Dell Optiplex finally dies…
I don’t know what CES demo monitors might go for.
I did see on the Apple refurbished site that the standard glass Apple Studio Display (vesa or tilt adjustable only model) is going for $1,359 and the base Mac Studio is going for $1,799.
It’s possible a Mac Studio refresh is coming, I have no idea.
