    hmm, maybe there is a case for that 512gb Mac Studio after all...

    Not saying it'd price-match this, but if it becomes a regular thing... And with the Micron CEO saying RAM is going to get worse, not better [1], its unlikely the price of the large studio will come down, quite the contrary...

      Previously, you got a magical free money bonus on the $200 sub.

      Plus costs 20.

      Pro 5x costs 100, and gives 5x Plus usage.

      Pro 20x was 200, and previously gave 20x Plus usage, for a 10x difference. Magical free money, wee.

      Of course it had to end.
