The niche killer feature is the 800GB/s SSD ...so long as you only need 8TB.

You can't match that speed with nvme. Samsung 990 Pro only gets 7.3 GB/s sequential read.

edit: I stand corrected.

LLM inference is GPU bound and VRAM bound. Given quantization however, 2x3090 or 4090 (48GB) is enough VRAM to load 65B quantized llama derivatives (30-40GB). With exllama you can get maybe 20-30 tok/s with dual 4090s on ~1200W. With an M2 Ultra maybe 10 tok/s on ~178W.

(I don't have these devices but have been researching LLM inference performance in the interest of buying a machine for them.)

Advantage goes to M2 Ultra if you ever might need more than 48GB VRAM. I think it's unlikely nvidia is going to release a significantly higher VRAM consumer card anytime soon, since that's what their A100s are for.

One thing that makes Anker stand out to me is that they pay attention to the unboxing experience, which I haven't seen from any other company in a non-premium market like cables and car docks.

I have an issue with the whole thing. I think they've already lost the trademark to the language.
