I'm sooo happy I pulled the trigger on upgrading and getting a new laptop (with 64 GB RAM) last summer. Feels like it was just in time before the exponential price jumps.

Pulled the trigger?

  Common phrase.

    Parent used "pulled the plug", are you saying it's applicable here and not "pulled the trigger" like suggested?

    That commenter you're replying to knows that. The original commenter before them wrote "pulled the plug" which is different and doesn't quite apply here (actually implies the opposite of what they meant to say).

      Ah, the edit was fast enough not to leave a mark, leaving a conversation fragment that made me think OP was being weird about a gun related phrase or something

Bought an M1 64 GB for 2000 euro’s second hand a year ago. That was sweet

  paid 2.7k € for this same build new in Dec 2023, that was also sweet (still is)

I kick myself a couple times a week for not getting the 512GB Mac Studio in February. I was holding out for an M4 or M5 chip...

  I was about a week away from buying a very tricked out MacBook Pro with 128 GB RAM, but was on vacation and worried about it arriving while I was away, and then the price hikes went into effect. Grumble. Oh, well. Serves me right.

    Lol, I still think about buying that now, even after the price hike. FOMO.

      I’m waiting for the bubble to pop. I suspect we’re 12-18 months away. We’re at the point where manufacturers are going out of business because the tech market is contracting so much. That’s not sustainable.
