Love how "20% off" works on Apple. Take a price that's mostly SSD and RAM markup, knock a little off the top, and suddenly everyone feels like a genius. You didn't save $900. You just overpaid by slightly less.

Plus, new MacBook Pro is on the verge of release next week: https://www.macrumors.com/2026/10...ct-launch/

This is a decent deal considering the new one is within the return window. That said I don't think 36GB of Ram really makes sense for anyone. It's overkill for most people, unless you want to run AI models in which case its not enough. I have 36GB on my M3 Max and while it can run most models, the system is unusable while doing it, and there's a bit of swapping going on.
