Cleaning of Mac Studio

I saw the teardown of a Mac Studio. How do you keep dust from the inside and or clean it?

The Mac Studio is a brand new machine and likely will not need the vents cleaned for years. However, when the time comes simply unplug all cables including the power cable and vacuum the intake and exhaust vents to remove any dust accumulation. This is the same process users should use for ANY computer.


Note: NEVER blow air into a computer.

Your welcome,


I converted to Macs about 20 years ago after using PCs for about 20+ years . Since then I have had great experiences and have owned and used a variety of Macs. You new Mac Studio should far out-perform your last PCs and be a much more stable experience. Please do not treat your Mac like a PC, meaning never install any third party antivirus, cleaning or other types of maintenance utilities, Mac OS has all of that installed already. Simply restart the computer about 1x per week, keep Mac OS up-to-date and otherwise enjoy it.

Thank you. I have been a PC user for 40 years. My PC's have always been plagued by accumulating Dust over time. I have an Apple Studio ordered and it is due to arrive in late May. After seeing the teardown of the new Apple Studio on YouTube and seeing the array of heat sink fins way inside It started me thing. Goodness, if I have to clean this thing, How will I get dust from so far inside. I am not sure, just a vacuum will do the trick but we will see. Especially when you can not see what is happening. Once again thank you for your response.

Bill
