What happened
Apple’s Malaysia online store now lists a 512GB unified-memory option for the Mac Studio M5 Ultra (36-core CPU, 80-core GPU). The jump from 256GB to 512GB costs RM51,750 by itself, so the cheapest 512GB/1TB configuration is RM100,599 versus RM48,849 for 256GB/1TB; a fully loaded 512GB/16TB model is RM134,349. Estimated delivery/pickup is 28 January 2027, and keyboard, mouse and display are not included.
Why it matters
For anyone sizing a local LLM machine, the decision is concrete: 256GB M5 Ultra at RM48,849 versus 512GB at RM100,599, so the 512GB option roughly doubles total price to double memory. Check whether your target models and quantization actually exceed 256GB before paying RM51,750, and note the January 2027 delivery date if you need near-term capacity.
Discussion angle
At what model size and quantization does 256GB unified memory become the real bottleneck, and what cloud GPU capacity would RM51,750 buy instead?
