I managed to get into an M4 Max Mac Studio Pro with 128Gb back in December because I could see where the wind was blowing and needed a new Mac for the next 6-8 years (for reference, my last one was a fully plumped out 2018 Mac Mini).
Now you can’t get my config for any amount of money. Literally - the option for the M4 now tops out at 64Gb, and even moving to 96Gb forces you to the M3 Ultra. That is a drop of 50% in terms of the M4 Max provisioning ceiling, which is notable because you can’t add more later.
Plus, even with just 64Gb, the current M4 Max is now more expensive than what I paid for mine.
The M3 Ultra is even more severely nerfed… its original provisioning ceiling was 512Gb, now it’s only 96Gb, which is a drop of over 80%.
Same. I picked up an M4 Max Mac Mini with 96 GB or ram and three maxed out System 76 Meerkats in December for work. I paid less for two Meerkats than I would pay for one with the same configuration today. The Mac Mini was not even available at the configuration when I checked a month or two ago.
Holy shit.
