Review inky for mac6/21/2023 ![]() Our biggest concern, that its all-in-one features would become useless should you ever need to connect it to a Windows PC rather than a Mac, mostly proved to be unfounded. In our tests, the Studio Display has mostly lived up to that hope. Mac mini, keyboard, mouse and trackpad sold separately. It’s Apple setting out to do with all-in-ones something we’ve wished someone would do for ages, the same thing that Framework is setting out to do with laptops: build computers you can keep for a decade or more, only replacing the parts that actually grow old. You buy the Studio Display and pair it with, say, a Mac mini, and at the cost of only a little more desk clutter you have a device you can upgrade as often as you need to, for as little as $1000 per upgrade.Īnyway, that’s the hope, and that’s what we like about the Studio Display. Modular iMacs, on the other hand, have most of the cable-free appeal of iMacs, with none of the downside. The sound system is as clear and as loud as you will ever need, though who’s to say you won’t be deaf as a post in 15 years. IMacs, or indeed any all-in-one computers, have the advantage of being easy to set up and fairly clutter-free to use, but the distinct disadvantage of turning holus-bolus, screen and all, into landfill the moment their CPU, GPU, memory and storage specs are no longer up to snuff. So, it’s best not to think about it as just a screen, and instead think about the Studio Display the way we do, as the eternal half of a modular iMac. Adding a height-adjustable stand takes the price to $3099, and adding an anti-glare coating (which is what we have on the model we’re reviewing) takes the price as high as $3599. Indeed, $2499 is just the starting price for the Studio Display. Yes, you can think of it as merely a computer monitor, in which case you’ll probably think of it as a fairly expensive monitor, compared to what else is out there.īring Your Own Computer: the Studio Display, left, is like an all-in-one iMac, without the Mac bit.įor the $2499 Apple wants for this 27-inch, 5120-by-2880 pixels screen, you can get, say, an insanely wide (though only half as sharp) 49-inch 5120-by-1440 pixel screen from Dell, with enough change left over to buy a decent USB webcam and some speakers. The Studio Display, you see, may well mark the beginning of a shift in computers, one which will make them a little more affordable, more upgradeable, and more environmentally sustainable in the long term. Or it might be something else that has got the Lab staff’s heart racing, something to do with what this particular computer monitor might represent in the history of computer design. Just another display, or a move to a new, more sustainable era? It might be that we’re excited by the Studio Display because it’s so very pretty, and reminds us of Apple’s iMac, the best all-in-one computer ever made. It is, after all, just a computer monitor, albeit a computer monitor with a sharp, 5K screen, a built-in webcam that tracks your motion, a high-quality microphone, and the best set of built-in speakers we’ve ever heard. We'd wager that just about every makeup brand offers one.I don’t exactly know why we’re so excited about having Apple’s new Studio Display here in the Digital Life Labs. What to Look ForĪ quick glance down the aisles of Sephora will show you that there is an insane amount of black eyeliner on the market. So, in an effort to streamline your audit, we’ve got the lowdown on how to choose the best liner for you and curated this list of the best of the best. There are a ton of options, and all of them are best suited for specific purposes. After testing so many, we know a good liner when we see one: it's got to be inky, pigmented, and last as long as the rest of our look does. With all that said, we can be a little picky when it comes to finding a formula that really gets the job done. Need further proof of the magic of a good black eyeliner? “It instantly brings out the eyes, and can create the illusion of thicker fuller eyelashes if applied precisely at the lash line,” O’Leary adds. She explains that you can use a black eyeliner pencil to create an easy smokey eye or a liquid liner for an extra crisp cateye. “Black eyeliner is a classic,” says pro makeup artist Lauren O’Leary. It should come as no surprise that black eyeliners are a staple among the pros, too.
