so it's really hard to see a 5k, edge-lit panel, that's merely a bit brighter than what you could get 5 years ago as an investment for the ages. Second problem is that, although the Studio Display is undoubtedly a nice display, all the reviews suggest that it's really not significantly better than the panel that's been used in the LG since 2016 and the iMac since 2017.īack in 2017 you could have said "fine, this is expensive, but it's hands-down the best, highest-resolution display available without paying 10x as much and it will still be a good display in 5 years time" - today, we've got miniLED and other HDR tech starting to appear, Apple already making 6k displays which are about due for a price cut. I doubt that Apple were making a loss but they must have been taking a lower profit margin than usual. for well under $1000, which was an absolute bargain.

a M1 Max Mac Studio (10 core, 32GB RAM) + Studio Display = $3600.įirst problem is the lower end of the 5k iMac range - if you consider the i5 CPU as roughly equivalent to a $1100 i5 Mac Mini then it felt like you were getting the 5k display, webcam, speakers etc. Lets say $3600 if you got 3rd party RAM.Ĭ.f.
So, a top-end iMac would have cost $3800 if you'd paid Apple the $600 they wanted for the 32GB RAM upgrade. Click to expand.It depends which iMac: the 5k iMac ran from $1800 for a fairly weak i5 to $3200 for a 10 core i9/5700 XT (but still only 8GB).
