The ports have won. After years of Apple\u2019s USB-C experiments, the past few months have seen a decisive victory for the concept of \u201cbeing able to plug things into your computer without a complicated array of dongles and adapters\u201d \u2014 marked in particularly by the latest announcement of Apple\u2019s new Mac Studio desktop<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Not only does the new Mac Studio pack six <\/em>USB-C ports \u2014 four of them full-fledged Thunderbolt 4 on the entry-level model and all six featuring Thunderbolt 4 support on the $3,999 M1 Ultra model \u2014 there\u2019s a UHS-II SD card slot, an HDMI port, an Ethernet port, a headphone jack, and two<\/em> USB-A ports. It\u2019s a glut of ports that manages to outclass even the best proper, standalone Thunderbolt docks (the current reigning champ, the CalDigit TS4<\/a>, for example, only has three Thunderbolt ports, although it does win out with more USB-A ports). <\/p>\n
