Gotta say, I don't think that 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage is worth an extra $800. I think that the 48GB/1TB model at $2500 is a better deal unless you absolutely need the 64GB and are going to use it a lot.

Agreed. Maybe if this was an M5 Max I would consider it... but $800 for such a small jump is not worth it...

Not so much about speed, for some people 16 GB is not enough to run their programs.

I'd guess the discounts are more about the new models coming at next week's event.

Agreed. Another use case is if you run your local Ollama models (like Gemma4 or Qwen) with your Hermes agent.
