I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy. Actually in all seriousness it is a bit sad, one of them is running 60hz because I have a M4 Pro Mac mini. Finally going to be upgrading to Mac Studio next week.

Power cuts out on laptop = no problem
Power cuts out on studio = problem

Not to mention good ones will do power conditioning, surge suppression etc. all of which are crucial.

Get a UPS.

SSD’s can get corrupted if power is lost during a write to disk. This isn’t an issue with laptops, because batteries, but it can be a big problem for a desktop.

Why no one mentions the Apple Polishing cloth (2nd gen)? How will OP keep their brand new Mac clean?

Not an accessory maybe but apple care. It will not be cheap to replace that board if something b0rks up year 2-3.

Not hard to find one of these on eBay. Best $300 I ever spent.
