Hmm, I'm unable to order more than 96GB RAM for a Mac studio, even with the M3 ultra or M4 Max. Is this au specific? However with the MacBook Pro I can specify 128GB with the M5 Mac.

It’s not just AU: https://9to5mac.com/2026/05/05/apples-most-powerful-mac-stud...

They’ve dropped all the mac studio configs higher than 96 gb, as well as the base mac mini. They’re also rumored to be considering taking the Neo base config off the market.

This seems to be how they’re dealing with supply constraints for fab capacity and RAM.

Difficult to believe this memory is made of unobtanium.

Maybe Apple would rather not price it at all than experience blowback for either gouging or lack of inventory.

The studio is really old now. The new one will drop at some point no doubt with more memory options. the 128GB M5 max MBP is great though

And yet, aside from offering 512GB, that really old Studio Ultra M3 LLMs faster (especially sustained) than the new M5 Max.
