You’re bang on with this comment.
The Mac studio is surprisingly quiet and well cooled. I haven’t had to install a fan control utility as of yet.
I thought I’d be trying one of these out and sell it if my setup didn’t work, but it’s the first desktop I’m starting to consider especially if I want to leave a workload running on it instead of a decade of carrying a lot of horsepower around with me.
Instant on for 3 monitors, no need for docking station or USB hubs, everything is plugged in and works, I can run a virtual cam obs setup easily.
The studio is a great upgrade on Mac mini, which might cannibalize the Mac pro sales and why it might not get toasted or refreshed. I’ll F the max studio was a way to put a dent in hackkntoshes, it makes sense.
The M2 mini looks super decent but quickly goes up in price when ram and ssd is setup to match a studio.
For my purposes the ultra wasn’t that much faster than the M1 max on because the software has to be optimized to benefit from it. Maybe some of this ML stuff will be shortly.
