There are an additional four ports on the Display, three USB-C and one Thunderbolt 3, all on the rear. The 27-inch 5K retina display offers a resolution of 5120x2880 pixels at 218 pixels per inch (ppi), and a maximum of around 600 nits of brightness.Įven in a well-lit room I was able to enjoy the brilliant picture and the deep colours without having to adjust anything. The Studio Display is a brilliant companion to the Mac Studio. It is, without doubt, the fastest and most capable computer I've ever used and it made me dread having to send it back.

Not only was there no spinning colourful circle indicating hangs, there was no real heat output either. With the M1 Max onboard and 64GB RAM there was nothing I could do to cause the Studio to have to think hard at all about what it was doing. If I was a good-guy hacker in a spy movie, this would be my set-up, with scrolling green code everywhere, hacked surveillance cameras showing me the mean streets of Auckland, a real-time plot of the antagonist's movements and still enough space on the monitors for social media, Netflix, a game or two and my internet browser.

That's enough ports to power up to FIVE displays at once - four Pro Display XDRs at 6K resolution over USB-C and one 4K display over HDMI - as well as change your phone and your keyboard at the same time. If that's not enough, then throw in the SDXC card reader and, on my version, two USB-C ports on the front (the M1 Ultra version has two extra Thunderbolt 4 ports there instead). It measures just 7.7-inches square at the bottom and 3.7-inches high but has more than enough room on the back for four Thunderbolt 4 ports, a 10GB ethernet port, two USB-A ports, an HDMI port and audio jack. For example on my M1 system I would require two homebrew installs one for Intel and another for arm64.\įor Intel installs it takes over /usr/local, that’s not always a good thing.The cooling fan alone on my gaming desktop isn't that much smaller than the Studio.

If any upstream package is broken homebrew won’t attempt to fix it themselves and will instead ship it as is, unless an upstream patch is available.

Homebrew, only supports the current versions of macOS that Apple still supports, constantly updated to the latest packages, the “cask” system making installing some software way simpler. Macports by default installs to /opt/local and always requires sudo for installs. But it’s possible to build package with more than one architecture.\

Macports is usually much more stable and supports as many versions of macOS as possible, if something upstream is broken Macports will attempt to fix the issue, ports won’t always be the latest version. I use both Homebrew and macport actively for different systems. I think Apple wouldn't like to add a package manager themselves because terminal programs are not the thing most of the people would like to use (having UI is always better), but they care about the existing package managers, as they were saying they would help with porting brew and macports on m1 along with other projects (WWDC2020) Macports uses /opt/local, homebrew on m1 uses /opt/homebrew, so by cleaning these folders you can get rid of them easily if you are not satisfied. If everything was already recompiled, I would say both managers are great, so you can pretty much try both and decide for yourself.

Also I prefer the way Python is distributed, compared to macports, where you have to delete the previous version and install the next version each time it has major update (because all formulas are named differently). Homebrew is adapting really quickly, it already has gcc10 for m1 (which is not officially supported, but people created custom build just to use until gcc11 is out) and many other native compiled tools which are not easy to build from source and are not on macports.
