Every mac work the same.
Q: Which keyboard and mouse would you recommend with this unit?
A: It all comes down to personal preference, but you can't go wrong with Logitech MX Keys or Apple Keyboard. If you're a fan of mechanical keyboards, Das Keyboard for Mac and Keychron make good ones.
Q: Can you use an HDMI splitter on the single hdmi port to then connect dual monitors?
A: Multiple simultaneous displays are supported over Thunderbolt. HDMI splitters would only allow you to have the same image projected to multiple screens; the computer would function as if there is only 1 screen.
Q: Is Mac Studio Empower Station a full computer system
A: Yes, but you WILL need to add the peripherals which is anything else that's plugged into it.
A: The mac studio requires a monitor (or even a tv screen) and is an all around better computer with better specs. The iMac essentially is an all in one computer, meaning the computer itself and monitor are all one single unit. The mac studio has a better and newer M1 processor, as well as 16gb of memory compared to the iMac.
Q: Can I use the SDXC card slot for additional storage since this is only a 512 Gig hard drive?
A: You could but that would be a really bad idea considering how slow they are. A better idea would be the get a external SSD, if you want something small, and plug it into one of the ports. Much faster speeds and still compact and not requiring external power.
Q: If I'm traveling, would my MacBook work with this?
A: all you need is get external monitor portable, external monitor portable sell on amazon have very good price external monitors portable have 14'' In, 15'' In, 17'' In sizes pick any size monitor external portable you like. and get bluetooth or wireless keyboard and mouse small size, I'm use Logitech mouse and keyboard battery last forever. This Mac Studio is small and compact and very good for travel. Portable external monitor on amazon sell very cheap price with different prices for small or bigger sizes. I hope this help.
A: My understanding is the HDMI port is only 2.0 on the Studio. The Thunderbolt ports will do DisplayPort output over USB‑C.
