Ditch the Aluminium and go with a copper MacBook Pro. Or silver. If you get it with a terabyte of RAM, the silver shell will be a small part of the total costs.

Argentium 960 would most likely be the best alloy for the job, as it’s a good heat conductor and doesn’t tarnish like pure silver.

This tells me the Max CPU chiplet has two interfaces to GPU dies. If you can connect two CPU chiplets via the same interface, making an M5 Ultra is doable by joining two CPU chiplets, each with a GPU chiplet attached.

Given that generation gains are not sufficient to make a Max twice as fast as the previous-gen Ultra, a longer cycle is rational. The M3 Ultra is still the fastest M-series system.

“Rendered obsolete” is a doing a lot here. It might have been discontinued, but it is still faster than the rest of the line and the only self-contained computer that can handle models that large.

The most I would say is that it was discontinued, but, depending on how it goes, it might be just sold out for now pending on memory procurement.

I was betting on the 1TB Mac Studio, but half a terabyte was already an insane amount of memory.

Some mixing is unavoidable. For instance, here in Ireland, an increasing number of Irish natives are aware of a Brazilian delicacy called "pão de queijo", thanks to the massive number of Brazilian residents. The way student visas work here is that they allow part-time work, and lots of Brazilians go for food services, bringing some of our recipes with them.

Between Hungary and Turkey, something similar happened with the pogacza. I brough some cheese pogacza to the office and a Turkish colleague immediately recognized what it was. We couldn't really figure out which culture it comes from, but we agree it's delicious and dangerously addictive.

Google first and then Microsoft demonstrated that being online first, and the collaborative work that it allows, is extremely important.

The biggest drawback is that, with Microsoft, nobody is really able to predict where the file they just edited in Word will show up - on their computers, on OneDrive, somewhere on SharePoint... Nobody knows.
