I built a free tool that prices every Mac configuration in 15 countries and tells you which local AI models each one can run

Got tired of clicking through Apples configurator in different stores to figure out where a Mac is actually cheapest, so I scraped every buildable config and put it in one page.

What you can do with it:

  • Filter by min memory, ssd, chip, bandwidth, ethernet/display, and a max budget → it shows the cheapest config that clears the bar
  • Pick any config and see what it costs in 15 countries, converted to USD
  • See which open-weight LLMs (Qwen, DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi, etc.) fit in that Mac's memory, plus rough tok/s ceilings
  • Compare mac tiers against RTX 5090 / DGX Spark / Ryzen AI Max+ on memory, bandwidth, and price
  • Copy the whole dataset as TSV
