512GB Mac Studio

apple always charged ridiculous numbers for ram and disk space.

All roughly the same price, for a consumer who has won the lottery: - 1x 512 GB Mac Studio with the 4 TB disk storage option. - 4x Nvidia GB10s (total 512 GB RAM) each connected with a 100 GiB/s link to a Mikrotik CRS504-4XQ-IN. - 3x Ryzen AI Max+ 495 192GB systems (total 576 GB RAM), connected via a 40 GiB/s link directly to each other.

Ship date is 3/5/27 for the 512GB model.

Oddly enough, Apple Upgrade isn't an option.

When the page first loads, it shows a different price for ~1sec. It quickly overwrites that and displays the much larger, eye watering figure.

You can get it up to 29k with max storage.

Has any individual/SMB purchased this yet? Aware the ROI isn't there for most individuals that don't heavily use LLM for coding or multi agentic workflows -- but for those that it does make sense this is ~$68k cheaper than the next alternative making this the most realistic option for consumer grade access to frontier models.

Specifically interested if anyone has ran GLM-5.3 (753B MoE) in 4-bit on a 512GB Mac Studio. Looking for real world usage numbers and/or any benchmarks you might have performed.

Thanks!
