Probably not by any objective measure. Dunno really; it works, it’s retina, colours look nice and I don’t really notice it which is the point I think? It’s considerably bigger than the MacBook Air screen which is the obvious plus. Speakers are good but I don’t use them. Braided cable is tasty if you haven’t bought anything since the rubber cable era. Panel area sits about 15mm lower than my iMac which irritates me an irrational amount. It could do with a few more ports on the back, a bit lacking compared to the iMac but I suppose the expectation is you’ll be largely running it off the mac studio which makes up for the deficit. With the air there is some inevitable dongle life in my future. I’m sure other screens at a fraction of the price do the job better but I didn’t really look into it.
Whatever the fancier one was (10 vital GPU cores?), 16 / 512. Enough, didn’t go mad. Needed a machine asap for holidaying, still contemplating a Studio longer-term. Desk optimisation obvs to follow, will flip the iMac around and have them offset back-to-back when I get somebody joining me in the studio in November. For now though, plenty of real estate.
