Boosts
@siracusa Baseline M5 ultra with 30-core CPU and 64-core GPU, 96GB of RAM, 8TB SSD = $8999. 16TB SSD would be 4000 bucks extra as would 256GB RAM.
@siracusa Finally a new Mac ₘᵢₙᵢ ₘ₅ Pro!
@siracusa you going to pre-order?
@siracusa "512GB memory option for M5 Ultra coming late October"
@siracusa dammit I mount have to reup my membership to hear this thought process.
@siracusa I could probably get a decent summer house here in Sweden for the same price as a maxed out Ultra. 😁
@siracusa If a new Mac drops in a forest, but nobody can afford it..?
To upgrade my M4 Mac Studio - which Apple insultingly values at just $1,660 - to the new model would cost $12k. Welcome to hell.
@siracusa Is it a Ferrari now? Is this where they're forcing you to pick the Accord?
@siracusa I have a M2 max with two TV storage. If I trade it into Apple, I can end up with the same as I have now but the M5 max chip and more ram for under $2500 plus tax.
Would you trade in your Mac Pro and if so, how much would Apple give you for it or would you keep the Mac Pro for gaming?
@paulc I would never trade in this Mac Pro.
@siracusa I suspected, but just wanted to confirm.
Would you share the monitor with the Mac Pro and the Mac studio. And if so, how? Does Apple provide a way of sharing the same monitor between two max? I can't do that with my studio display and I found only one KVM switch, which doesn't seem to work all of the time.
@paulc “Manual KVM” - Unplug cables from one Mac and plug them into another. If you find a KVM that works with a Pro Display XDR, let me know!
@siracusa I move my Thunderbolt cable between my MacStudio and my work MacBook. If I need to access my Mac studio during my workday, I will remote into it from the MacBook. If only Apple supplied an HDMI or display port port in addition to thunderbolt and added KVM to it..
I think the Sobran KVM is the only option for thunderbolt KVM at 5K and above. I've been reading about it for years and there were mixed reviews. It works well for some people, many have been very unhappy with it.
@siracusa I love my 2019 Mac Pro, but it’s not worth trading in. Or even selling, for what I’d get for it. It’s already obsolete :(
@scottearle Also, it’s a work of art!
@siracusa It is lovely, it’s true
@siracusa Which spec did you pre-order?
@siracusa Hmm. 512 GB Memory option "coming late October".
There was 512GB Memory in the beginning of 2026. Will the RAM situation improve for Apple until October? Weird.
@siracusa I am in Italy and have not heard last weeks show but I can already hear @caseyliss on your next show.
