Mac Studio M5 Ultra Hits 512GB RAM at $22,299

The gap between the two chips is the story here. According to MacRumors, the M5 Max model of the Mac Studio tops out at 128GB of RAM, so 512GB is reserved for the M5 Ultra and the four-figure memory upgrade that comes with it.

That means anyone who needs the very top memory tier also has to buy the top chip, the top memory price and the storage they add on top. The $22,299 figure is therefore a floor, not a typical spend.

For most people in Tunisia, this is a benchmark rather than a purchase. A $22,299 configuration works out to roughly 64,700 TND at 1 USD ≈ 2.9 TND before Tunisian import duties and taxes, which would push the real local price considerably higher.

Apple has not announced Tunisian availability or local pricing for the 512GB Mac Studio, and Apple does not operate an official store in Tunisia, so buyers here typically rely on resellers and importers. If you work in video, 3D, AI model training or scientific computing and genuinely need hundreds of gigabytes of unified memory, this is the machine to watch; for everyone else, the M5 Max at 128GB will be the more realistic ceiling.

As always with Apple silicon pricing, treat the headline number as the entry ticket, not the final bill. Storage, memory and reseller margins all add up before a Mac Studio reaches a desk in Tunis.
