Apple system config upgrades not looking so bad anymore

  Came here looking for this comment. I wonder how much price increase it takes for Apple to raise theirs.

  On this graph, the most expensive RAM is $12.5 / GB ($400 for DDR5-6000 2x16GB). Apple charges - $25 / GB ($200 for 8 GB for the M5 MacBook Pro and the M4 MacBook Air) - $16 / GB ($400 for 24 GB for the cheapest M4 Pro MacBook Pro) - $12.5 / GB ($200 for 16 GB and then $800 for 64 GB more for the most expensive M4 Pro and M4 Max MacBook Pros) and Apple's RAM is faster than PC RAM.

    > Apple's RAM is faster than PC RAM Are you sure about that? The M5 memory has a max bandwidth of ~150 GB/s, meanwhile there is PC memory that reaches 200 GB/s

  Guess that’s the flip side of selling sometimes three to four years old hardware with zero price cut (I know they’ve been doing better in the M-series era)—the price also stays there when it’s skyrocketing elsewhere.

  Exactly. Gotten from ‘price gouging’ to ‘not unreasonable’ in a couple months.
