Not really sure who this is for. With soldered RAM is less upgradeable than a regular PC.

AI nerds maybe? Sure got a lot of RAM in there potentially attached to a GPU.

But how capable is that really when compared to a 5090 or similar?

The 5090 is basically useless for AI dev/testing because it only has 32GB. Mind as well get an array of 3090s.

The AI Max is slower and finicky, but it will run things you'd normally need an A100 the price of a car to run.

But that aside, there are tons of workstations apps gated by nothing but VRAM capacity that this will blow open.
