Here's a simple little gadget, an expansion dock for the M4 Mac mini. It connects to the two front USB-C ports to provide SD and micro SD card slots, 2 x 10 Gbps USB-A ports and 2 x 10 Gbps USB-C ports. If the Mac Studio has the same port spacing, it would also fit that. Pointlee, really, though, because the Mac Studio already has most of those ports available except for the micro SD. The price has come down in the last few days, now available for A$64 (£31). See https://shorturl.at/pzg77 for ore info.

A year ago when I bought my 15-in M3 MacBook Air it was A$400 cheaper than the 14-in M3 MacBook Pro with the same specifications.
It's a different story now with the M4 versions of both. The difference between the 15-in Air and 14-in Pro with the same SoC specifications is a mere A$100. If I were looking to replace my (previous) base model M1 MacBook Air with an M4 laptop I'd definitely specify the Pro.
@variablepulserate I imagine it will be recycled for its glass/aluminium content.
Had a triple medical event today: colonoscopy/gastroscopy/iron infusion. Nothing nasty was found with the tests but it'll take 2 to 4 weeks for the effects of the iron infusion to be fully felt.
@variablepulserate It is compressed into place. That process is done during manufacture so they just replace the lot.
