Why I Reluctantly Ordered The Apple Studio Display
And many will feel the same way I do, for the same reasons…
My rollercoaster feelings around Apple’s Studio Display are no secret. During the March event I got incredibly excited, only to feel quite deflated just two days later as I saw the actual spec sheet and other important details surfaced around Apple’s new 1800 euro monitor. First, I was ready to hit the buy button then and there, two days later I had to sit down and do a more complicated cost-benefit analysis than any other I had to do in the last 5 years. While I wouldn’t call myself frugal by any means, I am also not careless with my hard-earned cash, so even if through writing I can eventually recoup my tech expenses and investments, I won’t just willy-nilly buy anything Apple throws at us. All these considered, I did make the reluctant decision of purchasing the Apple Studio Display, and here’s how I got to that conclusion.
Considerations
An extended monitor for me is quite vital. I am a software engineer, and I started working 99% remotely this year as a voluntary choice. Having an extra 27” of screen available to me on top of the existing 16” of the MacBook Pro is not something I can shrug off.
