Apple Mac Studio M5 Max 128GB (2026)
128GB unified memory at 614GB/s: runs 70B dense at Q4–Q6 and ~100B-class MoE comfortably. Needs the 18-core CPU / 40-core GPU chip. Prompt processing much slower than a big NVIDIA GPU; token generation is good.
Software: macOS. Best stack: MLX, llama.cpp (Metal), Ollama/LM Studio. No CUDA: most PyTorch training recipes and CUDA-only tools won't run or run slowly (MPS backend).

Server GPUs are scam-prone. Check seller history and photos; anything under about €2500 is likely broken, parts-only or fake.
