It’s in the current Dutch edition. Not sure in which German edition it is/was.
Well, it cost $1500 and is as big as a portable Mac, so it should probably perform pretty well…

Good article. English-language media have reported similar findings; e.g., here are M1 Max vs. Ryzen 9 benchmarks from Anandtech, which is also highly respected. (Ultra performs meaningfully, but marginally, over the Max in real world usage.)
Intel finally getting going on Alder Lake is also welcome (and I don’t really see a problem with them spending watts to improve performance right now, as much as I don’t prefer it.)
Here’s a fun Ryzen 9/3090 build that costs about $2500.

I can’t conclude the Ultra is overpriced or underpowered, but it has healthy competition and is superseded in gaming and some specialized tasks.
