I paid $7049 for a 14" Macbook Pro with M5 Max, 128gb RAM and 8TB of storage.
4 months later, same spec is $9,849.
$2,800 increase.
I’m very thankful I bought 5 Mac mini’s, 2 MacBook Pros and a Neo already this year. Price increase would have made this all over $3,000 more expensive 💀
Many users denounced the $2,800 price hike on the 14-inch MacBook Pro M5 Max as absurd, brutal, and insane, while some expressed relief at having bought before the increase.

Looking closer to $5k difference now that I'm sitting here doing the math.

@theo So you're telling me you want to sell yours to me at a $2,800 discount to fully reverse it right?!
@walls_jason1 @theo lol
@Layton_Gott @theo I’m on this shameless self promotion kick. If I don’t ask I won’t know.
@Layton_Gott @theo Damn just saw this lol.
@theo Imagine if they just announced it like "starting July 1, these new prices" they'd have sold a ton of inventory lol
@Da7_Tech @theo do beats also swap between apple devices?
@theo I just ordered a M5 Pro MacBook Pro, 24gb RAM, 1TB for my sister at Micro Center, and a couple hours later it went up more than $600.
Haven't picked it up yet, but I'm hoping the Micro Center lords will give me the original price at pickup 🙏
@theo $4100 difference Canadian from my last purchase vs today. Wtf
@KansaiGaijinEng I hope you maxed out the ram and storage on it
@theo 2 months later same spec is $$$$$$$$$$$$
@theo I've constantly been like "man do I really need this device, am I spending too much" and then not even 3 months later I'm glad I made the initial purchase. I bought a mac mini to try out the openclaw hype and now it's like 300 bucks more than I bought and I've got a nice device
@bowtiedbaiji You got nothing on me
- 8tb SSD for $545 (over $1800 today) - 64gb DDR5 kit for $165 (over $780 today) - 2tb CF express for $549 (over $1200 today)
I've never had my tech hoarder mindset benefit me so greatly in my life
@theo openclaw effect
