But anyway, I immediately went to the storage section to see like, what are the storage options?
podcast-host
Um,
podcast-host
And the storage options on both of the models of Mac Studio are unchanged in price.
podcast-host
Like if you want a 4 terabyte, it's at $1,800.
podcast-host
If you want an 8 terabyte, it's at $3,800 if you get the Macs.
podcast-host
And the Ultra is at $1,500 and at $3,500 because of the vagaries.
podcast-host
But anyway, these are exactly the same as they were for the M3 Ultra and the M4 Macs.
podcast-host
So storage prices for the Mac Studio are the same as they have ever been.
podcast-host
They're awful, but when Apple increased
podcast-host
storage prices...
podcast-host
on the M4 Mac, M4 slash M3 Ultra Mac Studio before, they were able to hold the line on those.
podcast-host
And so they're not worse than they were, but they're not good, obviously.
podcast-host
For the CPU and stuff,
podcast-host
mostly unchanged like there are things tied together so if you get like an unbinned 64 gig with four terabytes um it's like 5300 bucks or eight terabytes is 7300 bucks if you bin the chip you get minus 300 for the bin cpu which is not that big of a savings but then you have to go down to 36 gigs of ram like you can't you know the ram is tied to the it's just it's super annoying um
podcast-host
um for the m5 ultra uh if you go with the binned m5 ultra it's seven grand which is more than the m3 ultra was if you go bin 96 gig it's seven grand these are configs that i was trying um it's two hundred dollars more than the m3 ultra config was and if you go eight terabytes it's nine grand which is again two hundred dollars more than the m5 ultra so these combos of like binned 96 gig if you want an ultra but you're not going to get the fancy one but you want 96 gigs of ram like
podcast-host
That's $200 more.
podcast-host
And then un-bin 96 gig, the prices are the same as they were on the M3 Ultra, which is nice because like M3 Ultra to M5 Ultra is a big upgrade in the CPU.
podcast-host
You know, four terabytes is 8,300 and eight terabytes is 10,300.
podcast-host
So these are like the configs I first looked at.
podcast-host
M5 Max, un-bin 64 and bin 36, because I have to, like I'm never gonna get a bin 36, but just FYI, they make you do that.
