I built a M3 MBP just to see how much money a mxed out unit would be.
M3 14" MBP Max chip with all the cores 128GB RAM 8TB storage
$4700
That's about the cost of my last MBP and iPhone pair, two times over. At that point, why even go for a laptop, vs. what would clearly be a high end desktop station?
Just for fun, let me buy every upsell, regardless of whether I want or need it.
And then let me compare that to the normal configuration of things I bought...
Why don't you compare apples to apples. Configure an M3 MBP like you would with fairly normal specs?
Well, technically all those computers are Apples, so they're within their rights
Yeah I was trying to make a lame pun
