That puts the minimum possible price for a Mac Studio with 512GB of RAM at an eye-watering $22,299. It’s a full $11,500 more than the exact same configuration with 256GB of RAM. To put the price in perspective, it’s the about same price as the entry-level trim for a Hyundai Elantra, Nissan Sentra, or Kia K4.

Yes, you read that right. You can buy two M5 Ultra Mac Studios, each with 256GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD, for a total of $21,598 ($10,799 each). You’re still getting 512GB of RAM in total, but double the SSD and two full-size M5 Ultra processors, and it will cost you about $700 less.
And that’s with a paltry 1TB SSD, which you’d be crazy to configure if you were spending this much on a computer. It’s $500 more for 2TB, and $1,500 for 4TB. But hey, if you’re made of money anyway, why not spring for the 16TB SSD, a mere $7,500 upgrade? That means the most you can spend on a single Mac Studio is $29,799.
Do you want a fully loaded Mac Studio, or a Toyota Corolla hybrid at the full XLE trim level?
