Lead time at Apple is 10-12 weeks for the Mac Studio M1 Ultra with 128GB, and it will be August before B&H Photo gets units.
Accordingly, I am canceling the review order for the 128GB model discussed below, because all the 128GB models have gone to "end of July" for delivery, presumably due to China problems. But it looks like I can get a 64GB model immediately, so I am requesting that instead.
UPDATE: in the space of writing this and having the 64GB model in stock and placing the request (5 minutes), all M1 Ultra models went out of stock and are now "end of July". So no review anytime soon unless there is a reader getting a new one who can loan it out for 2-3 days.
All tests but one or two can run comfortably in 64GB memory, and so will be just as useful and revealing of the M1 Ultra potential.

A big call-out and thank-you to B&H Photo which will be sending the $5199 Apple Mac Studio M1 Ultra 20-core CPU / 48-core GPU/ 128GB / 2TB SSD for review. This is exactly the configuration I would buy excepting a preference for a 4TB SSD.
If the budget allows, by all means get the 64-core GPU and/or the 8TB SSD since nothing internally is upgradeable.
Save the sales tax with B&H Payboo. Please and thank you for ordering through B&H with these links. It helps make my reviews possible, such as the recent review of the 2021 Apple MacBook Pro.
