Report 2026-11-04 PT Illustrative landed (sales tax \~10%) No invented prices 

## Highlights

- **In-stock buy picks** (observational, not financial advice): (1) **Stock flip:** B&H's Mac Studio M5 Max 128GB/1TB went from Preorder / Coming Soon to **In Stock** at **$5,399** (\~$5,939 illustrative landed, sales tax \~10%). It's the first in-stock read for that config in 40 days of tracking, and Apple's own page still lists it as a build-to-order wait. That's 128GB of unified memory for about $1,550 less than the cheapest buyable new GB10\. (2) B&H Mac Studio M5 Max 36GB/512GB is still **$2,299** (\~$2,529 landed), at its tracked low with "limited supply at this price"; the $200 Holiday Savings offer ends Nov 5\. Every B&H GB10 is still out of stock, so the cheapest buyable new GB10 remains Micro Center's DGX Spark at $6,949.99 (25+, pickup only), which is a status note, not a deal.
- **Movers:** Amazon ASUS TUF 5090 dropped $200 to $7,499.99 (third-party seller, only 2 left). B&H M5 Max 36GB/2TB ($3,299) went from In Stock to Coming Soon. Everything else re-read today is flat. GMKtec, Beelink, Framework DIY complete, the Micro Center 5090 card pages, Best Buy DGX and NVIDIA Marketplace are now on a weekly check (next Monday).
- **AI Box deal watch** (observational): best same-day discrete 5090 street is $7,499.99 (Amazon, third-party), so the +10% band is about $8,250\. The in-stock BuyDirectNY AORUS AI Box at $7,999 is about 6.7% above the card, inside the band. B&H's AI Box at $5,099.99 is still out of stock. TB5 is much slower than PCIe x16.
- **Local resale:** the cheapest credible local GB10 is still a Gigabyte AI TOP ATOM at $6,000, and a used M5 Max Mac Studio ask is still $2,199\. Two new "RTX 5090" listings turned out to be complete Alienware desktops, not cards, and are excluded from card trends.
