Getting ready for Apple AI with a refurbished Apple Studio Display and my M1 MacBook Pro

[@mikeg5372]

I’m an aging IT professional and like you opted for a refurbished Studio Display (w/VESA mount option). My eyes thank me for the purchase. The reason I chose VESA is for flexibility between my standing and sitting positions. The height adjustable stand just doesn’t offer the versatility I need. The 60Hz refresh rate is because Apple set out to make a “Thunderbolt” display and at the time Thunderbolt 3/4 can only do 60Hz at 5K. The webcam is pretty good, I know it’s been blasted on the internet countless times, but based on the number of MS Teams meetings I’ve attended, it’s performed admirably compared to other members of my company. My only complaint is that Apple didn’t design the display to easily change mount options once purchased. I had to wait several months for the VESA option to show up in the Refurbished section and now that I want a second display, have to check the store constantly. Oh well, good things come to those who wait.
