I’m glad that it looks properly cooled but it seems like a very un-apple design.

It looks very weirdly sized with the ports hanging out at the bottom.

It's very un-Jonny Ive. So it might actually be functional.

Is it? It's a double-height Mac mini with more ports and better cooling.

Proportions is a central topic in design, and they can make the difference between an elegant design piece and a block.

The Mac Studio, regardless of how impressive the hardware is, is not an elegant design piece. It's something you shove under the table.

It has the aesthetics of a Nissan qube to me.

They should have gone full cube again, like the G4 Cube
