> The DGX Spark has basically the same memory bandwidth as a M5 Pro, and far more than a M5.
I see ~274 GB/sec for the DGX Spark[1], versus 307 GB/sec for M5 Pro and 460 or 614 GB/sec for M5 Max[2]. One might call 90% "basically the same", but there are nominally two tiers above "Pro".
Yes, a MacBook Pro with 128 GB and M5 Max costs $5100 (14") or $5400 (16") versus currently $4700 for the DGX Spark, but the MBP includes keyboard, mouse, battery and portability. I believe its prefill is slower and you get 2 TB vs 4 TB SSD, but overall one gives up a lot to save 10% of the cost.
