Micro Center has the 64gb version for $300 more. If you're spending this kind of money, might as well spend the extra $300 for double your RAM especially RAM is soldered and that's dirty cheap, extra 32gb RAM for $300 on an Apple product.

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.

Dang, this is the one I'd have to get to replace my recording studio machine...but it isn't worth the price for me. I just need my nearly 10 year old motherboard to keep going! (currently paired with a 5950x and 64GB of ram from when it was cheap). Current machines does great, but if these laptops would have stayed affordable, I would have liked to get a machine that could be mobile so I could record in other locations.
