MacStories published an M5 Ultra Mac Studio review framed around local AI agents rather than general desktop use, which is a notable shift in how mainstream Apple coverage positions the machine. It landed simultaneously at 313 upvotes with 125 comments on r/LocalLLaMA and 253 points with 250 comments on Hacker News. The comment threads, not the review, carry the useful content: practitioners arguing memory bandwidth against the price of equivalent multi-GPU NVIDIA builds.
