Successfully price matched this yesterday at Best Buy. Not sure why other threads get the upvotes over this one. This config is 20% off.

Too bad it's 32GB RAM, wishing it's the 48 or 64 m5 max getting 20% off…

36 GB but still the same lower tier, less than 48 or 64.

Did you price match online or in-store? I got approved initially, but I got a price match denied email later that day.

I price matched online and they sent me an invoice to complete. Then picked up in store today.

For Best Buy price match, make sure to have them send an invoice or go to a store location and price match if it is in stock. Sometimes they will tell you to place order online for them to later deny you. Even if they can't send an invoice, ask to speak to another person who can or do a new chat.

I know there is a global memory manufacturing crunch but did Apple really have to drop the GPU count from 40 to 32 as well on a Max ?
Damn you Tim Apple.

That's Apple being Apple. Until recently they still included only 8GB RAM in $1000+ laptops Lol

Yeah, it's a weird config. 36 fine for Pro or below.

depends what you are using it for. The max chip has a way better GPU. Not sure what you are trying to do.

Who chooses storage over ram when it's unified memory that makes these laptops worth anything and the thunderbolt tech makes ext just as fast
