Great deal! For those of us who prefer to "bring their own storage," the 16GB/256GB would have been better (assuming the price would have been proportionately lower), but at this price it's fine and allows you to use it right away w/o needing to worry about an external storage solution right away.
This thing will stream 4k (2x speed) YouTube without a single stutter. It is silent, despite the active cooling.
I'm almost surely going to pick up a second unit during Costco's sale. I'll probably have one unit permanently tied to my TV (for YouTube, Steam, CloneHero, Chrome, etc). And another in my office. For my office computer, I'm tempted to upgrade to the "Pro" model, but I'm likely deluding myself that I need the extra power relative to the $500 base.

Around 204.8 GB/s (100%) higher theoretical memory bandwidth, which I imagine would help with graphics /video software such as Adobe Creative Suite?
That said, the Studio is about the same (multicore) CPU speed as the LOW END ($1099-$1299) M2 Pro. It is slower (CPU, MC) than the M2 Pro HIGH END, which is what most of the review sites reviewed, and what most benchmarks state. It's important that people understand that difference - it involves 2 M2 CPU cores, so it's pretty significant. But it also means the M2 Pro in the comparison is at $1699-ish, not $1099.
The GPU on the M1 Max walks all over the M2 Pro, in both low and high spec versions, and having more RAM thruput helps too.
That said, the M2 Pro Single-core speed is perhaps 20% faster, so for day to day, user interface, Safari, Chrome things, it's that much faster.
