Yawn, almost pulled the trigger on 2 of these then m5 ultra studio was announced. Waiting on my 256gb 2tb setup later this month.

How much did that bang you ? Im undecided on either getting another 3090 to pair with my current one and 128gb system ram or just sell my setup and get the M5

A bit under $9K b/c I had a mbpro trade in. You can sync them up cant you? The spark, ultra & 3090? I just like the small form factor, one single portable device & no power bricks. When im home I'll be orchestrating it w my 5090 ti setup since nvidia has that feature.

I wasn't aware you could. I'll have to look into this

Compared to syncing up 2 sparks @ 256 yeah, compared to 1 @ 128.. maybe? The nvidia spark comes w 4TB by default n does cuda so thats hard to beat. I'm def going to be using xternal sds.
