Get the Which-Mac Card

The companion to "Don't Buy a Mac for AI Until You Answer These 3 Questions". Page 1: the three questions exactly as the picker asks them (the job, the speed, the budget and the Mac you own), the decision rule (if your Mac runs the model at the speed you asked for, keep it and install first; buy for speed, not for can-or-cannot), Apple's list prices read on apple.com on September 13 2026 for the Mac mini M6, Mac mini M5 Pro, Mac Studio M5 Max and M5 Ultra, and the memory-bandwidth ladder from the M6 to the M5 Ultra. Page 2: three people run through the picker (a 16GB Air, a 24GB M4 Pro, a buyer with no Mac yet) with the verdict, the model, the exact Ollama command and the speed, plus the honest box on what is measured and what is formula, and the picker link.
