M5 Ultra Mac Studio starts at $5,499 ahead of September 22 release

Apple’s new Mac Studio with the M5 Ultra starts at $5,499 in the United States and is scheduled to reach customers on September 22. Apple opened preorders on August 25, while the top configuration with 512GB of unified memory is due later in October.

The price applies to the M5 Ultra version of the compact desktop. Apple also lists a Mac Studio with M5 Max from $2,499 in the U.S. The company offers configure-to-order options, so memory, storage and other selections can push the final price well above the entry figure.

Apple says the new system is available to preorder through its online store and the Apple Store app in 30 countries and regions, including the United States. The first delivery date is September 22. The schedule gives buyers a clear separation between ordering the machine and receiving it.

The 512GB memory option has a different timetable. Apple says that configuration is coming in late October. That matters for buyers who need a very large local memory pool for professional projects or model work. It also means the highest-memory version is not part of the first September delivery group.

Apple’s M5 Ultra is positioned for demanding desktop work. The company lists up to a 36-core CPU, an 80-core GPU and support for as much as 512GB of unified memory. Those are maximum configuration figures, not the specifications of every $5,499 system. Buyers should check the exact build before comparing prices.

The unified-memory design lets the processor and graphics hardware use a shared pool. That can help workloads that keep large data sets in memory, but the result still depends on the software, memory selection and task. Apple’s launch claims are based on its own comparisons and should not be read as a guarantee for every application.

Tom’s Guide reported that Apple is pitching the M5 Ultra Mac Studio at local AI work as well as professional graphics and video tasks. That local-processing angle may appeal to teams that want to keep some work on a desktop. It does not eliminate the need to review software privacy settings or decide when a cloud service is appropriate.

The system also adds newer connectivity. Apple lists Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, while independent launch coverage reports Thunderbolt 5 ports and a faster SSD architecture. The connections may matter more to a studio or engineering team than to someone buying a desktop for basic web and office work.

Macworld noted that the M5 Ultra starting price is higher than the earlier Ultra generation’s price before a recent increase, and that a fully configured model can cost far more. That makes the base price a starting point rather than a typical final bill for a high-memory, high-storage build.

The immediate buying decision is therefore about timing and configuration. A customer who needs the M5 Ultra before late October can order a lower-memory version for the September 22 window. Anyone who needs 512GB should account for the later delivery, and every buyer should confirm storage and memory before placing an order.
