You'll also struggle run models >32gb due to system overhead and contextshit. Get a Studio Ultra with 256gb, forget the Pro or the Max

Imagine the QWEN 4 flash next you could run on an airplane or the mountains with an M5 PROLED MAX 128gb and 16tb ram.

Yeah the 256gb studio is nice... until you have go off the grid

Memory bandwidth on the Pro is only 307 GB/s. The shittiest Nvidia GPU hoses it.

The M5 Ultra memory bandwidth is 1.2 TB/s, which is higher than a RTX 5080. You can also get 3-4x more cores. Shit that takes 8 hours on a Macbook Pro will only take about 15 minutes on the M5 Ultra
