Highlights
- In-stock buy picks (observational, not financial advice): (1) Stock flip: B&H's Mac Studio M5 Ultra (30-core CPU / 64-core GPU, 96GB / 2TB) went from Preorder to In Stock at $5,999 (~$6,599 illustrative landed, sales tax ~10%). It's the first in-stock read for any tracked M5 Ultra config in 25 reads; every other M5 Ultra at B&H and Apple is still a preorder (Apple's Ultra 256GB/512GB say "Ships 13–15 weeks"). (2) B&H's Mac Studio M5 Max 128GB/1TB is still In Stock at $5,399 (~$5,939 landed) for a second day, the same price as Apple, where it's still a wait. (3) B&H's base M5 Max 36GB/512GB is still $2,299 (~$2,529 landed) with "limited supply at this price"; the $200 offer was due to end today, 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).
- Movers: Amazon ASUS TUF 5090 rose about $500 to $7,999.95 (third-party seller, only 1 left). B&H GX10 + Microsoft 365 kit slipped $40 to $6,048.99 (still out of stock). B&H M5 Max 48GB/1TB ($3,399) went from In Stock to Coming Soon. Everything else re-read today is flat, including Apple's 512GB M5 Ultra at $22,299. GMKtec, Beelink, Framework DIY complete, the Micro Center 5090 card pages, Best Buy DGX and NVIDIA Marketplace are on a weekly check (next Monday).
- AI Box deal watch (observational): best same-day discrete 5090 street is $7,999.95 (Amazon, third-party), so the in-stock BuyDirectNY AORUS AI Box at $7,999 is now at parity with the card, well inside the +10% band, and it includes the enclosure, cooling and PSU. 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. A used RTX 5090 Founders Edition ask dropped from $7,500 to $6,500, and a new Founders Edition listing appeared at $6,700, both below today's cheapest new card with a price.
