<div id="link_wrapped_content"> <body><section class="wp-block-bigbite-multi-title"><div class="container"></div></section><p>If you look closely at the underside of the Mac Studio, you’ll see more than an embossed name and a few hundred tiny holes. In the upper left corner, there is a small USB-C-sized hole. It’s not for Magic Mouse-style charging—it’s for a new locking mechanism that is reportedly coming soon.</p> <p>If the hole on the underside of Mac Studio looks a lot like the Kensington security slots that Apple once provided on its Macs, it’s because it is. While reviewers and early adopters weren’t sure that the mystery hole was for a lock due to the odd placement of it, <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=111346X1569486&url=https://www.macrumors.com/2022/03/18/lock-adapter-mac-studio-soon/&xcust=1-1-624758-1-0-0&sref=https://www.macworld.com/feed" rel="nofollow">Macrumors has confirmed[/url] that it is. According to a leaked memo, Apple will soon begin selling a “lock adapter” that will keep a Mac Studio “physically secure without modifying or damaging” the machine.</p> <div class="wp-block-product-widget-block product-widget"> <div class="product-widget__block-title-wrapper"> <h4 class="product-widget__block-title" id=""> </h4> </div> <div class="product-widget__content-wrapper"> <div class="product-widget__title-wrapper"> <h3 class="product-widget__title" id="mac-studio-m1-max-2022">Mac Studio M1 Max (2022)</h3> </div> <div class="product-widget__image-outer-wrapper"> <div class="product-widget__image-wrapper"> <img width="1500" height="1000" class="product-widget__image" src="https://b2c-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/mac-studio-front-1.jpg?quality=50&strip=all" loading="lazy" alt="Mac Studio M1 Max (2022)" srcset="https://b2c-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/mac-studio-front-1.jpg?quality=50&strip=all 1500w, https://b2c-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/mac-studio-front-1.jpg?resize=300%2C200&quality=50&strip=all 300w, https://b2c-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/mac-studio-front-1.jpg?resize=768%2C512&quality=50&strip=all 768w, https://b2c-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/mac-studio-front-1.jpg?resize=1200%2C800&quality=50&strip=all 1200w, https://b2c-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/mac-studio-front-1.jpg?resize=1240%2C826&quality=50&strip=all 1240w, https://b2c-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/mac-studio-front-1.jpg?resize=150%2C100&quality=50&strip=all 150w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></div> </div> <div class="review product-widget__review-details"> <img class="product-widget__review-details--editors-choice-logo" src="https://www.macworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/MW-Ed-Choice-90x90-1.png" alt="Editors' Choice" loading="lazy" /><div class="product-widget__rating-and-review-link"> <div class="product-widget__review-details--rating"> <div class="starRating" style="--rating: 4.5;" aria-label="Rating of this product is 4.5 out of 5"></div> </div> <a class="product-widget__review-link" href="https://www.macworld.com/article/622515/mac-studio-m1-max-review.html" target="_blank">Read our review[/url] </div> </div> <div class="product-widget__information"> <div class="product-widget__pricing-details "> <span class="product-widget__pricing-details--label"> Best Prices Today: </span> <span class="product-widget__pricing-details--links-wrapper"> <a class="product-widget__pricing-details--link" href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=111346X1569486&url=https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/mac-studio/10-core-cpu-24-core-gpu-16-core-neural-engine-32gb-memory-512gb#&xcust=1-1-624758-5-620921-9934&sref=https://www.macworld.com/feed" target="_blank" data-vars-product-name="Mac Studio M1 Max (2022)" data-vars-product-id="620921" data-vars-category="Mac" data-vars-manufacturer-id="9934" data-vars-manufacturer="Apple" data-vars-vendor="Apple" data-vars-po="" data-product="620921" data-vars-link-position-id="005" data-vars-link-position="Product Sidebar" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/mac-studio/10-core-cpu-24-core-gpu-16-core-neural-engine-32gb-memory-512gb#" rel="nofollow">$1999 at Apple[/url] </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p>The Mac Studio is the only current device to feature a security slot, though Apple last included one on the Intel iMacs as well as older laptops.
