Upgrading the highest-end M5 Max configuration from its standard 2TB SSD to 16TB costs $7,000, making it $4,000 more expensive than the $3,000 upgrade to 8TB.

As an older fanboy, these numbers (both the price & the capabilities) are just insane. I can't imagine telling young me in the 90s that we'd have a $7,000 memory option but that also that 7K would get you 16 terabytes of storage in a laptop.

The first ProFile for Apple III was 3500 bucks; there is nothing new here. It just hurts more.
