It is time to once again scratch our heads at Apple for at least one weirdly expensive thing after a product announcement. One minute we can be wowed by powerful new chips that may promise a heightened future for gaming to come, and the next Apple could charge $400 USD for a monitor stand. And it has.
The new Studio Display looks like a pretty impressive bit of kit, especially for creatives looking for an Apple screen. It has a 5k retina panel, up to 600 nits, and your choice between a stand with tilt adjustments, or a VESA wall mount adapter.
Hope’s been writing about games for about a decade, starting out way back when on the Australian Nintendo fan site Vooks.net. Since then, she’s talked far too much about games and tech for publications such as Techlife, Byteside, IGN, and GameSpot. Of course there’s also here at PC Gamer, where she gets to indulge her inner hardware nerd with news and reviews. You can usually find Hope fawning over some art, tech, or likely a wonderful combination of them both and where relevant she’ll share them with you here. When she’s not writing about the amazing creations of others, she’s working on what she hopes will one day be her own. You can find her fictional chill out ambient far future sci-fi radio show/album/listening experience podcast at BlockbusterStation.buzzsprout.com. No, sadly she’s not kidding.
