A decent 4090 GPU alone is over $3000 in Australia - that’s half the price of a Mac Studio with Ultra - just for the GPU.

Then you’d be looking for a 24 core CPU, 64GB RAM, 1TB PCIe 5 SSD, mainboard with 6x thunderbolt ports, a silent cooling setup, high quality case that is both small and all the gear while running cool. and if you’re stuck with MS Windows - an Operating System.

Yeah, you gotta pay a premium if you want the highest performance on the market. If you're just looking to match the GPU performance of the M2 Ultra though, there are several gaming laptops that will run circles around it in Blender. Many are cheaper than the base model Mac Studio.
