Bought it without looking too closely to make sure I got in before the rush (comes Nov 25-Dec 3 before my M5 Ultra 256GB which is supposedly shipping end of January).
After taking a look the $11.5k premium over the 256GB might not be worth it. Gonna have to mull over the decision and possibly buy two 256GB machines instead (which might be the smarter option).

Wish I had your economy for sure.

As someone also considering getting one, what would make it worth it in your opinion?

(M5 Ultra with just 1TB of storage)

Holy price increase, in 2025 the equivalent M3 Ultra (32-core CPU / 80-core GPU with 512GB of RAM) cost $9,499.
Now the equivalent M5 Ultra (36-core CPU / 80-core GPU with 512GB of RAM) is priced at $22,299.

Makes me feel like we're back in the era of SGI workstations in the late 20th century! I got to play with a few of those in college.

I guess I'll drive my 15 year old Honda CRV for a few more years.

I've had my eye on the normal Mac Studio M5 Ultra (normal plebeian 96GB RAM) and the release date there keeps slipping, now into January. I'm surprised Apple is pushing the backlog even more.
