Pro Pricing Seems Odd

[Internaut]

Just messing about on the UK Apple store. Unless I'm missing something:

14" base = £1899.00
Upgrade to 32GB = £400
Upgrade to M1 Max (automatically 32GB) = £500.

I'm not sure I see the point of the M1 Pro if you need 32GB and if you're happy to blow that kind of cash anyway...

In the US it's $2,400 for base Pro w/ 32 GB, $2,900 for base Max (which includes 32 GB).

I skipped the Max because I don't need the GPU power, and I'm also assuming going with the Pro means a cooler system with better battery life (still waiting for reviews to confirm).

In France they say +500 for the Max, but they also add up the price of the upgrade to 32GB. Is it not the same for you ?

Base 14 inch : 2249 euros
14inch with only Max as upgrade : 3209 euros (500 euros for the max and they automaticall add 460 euros which is the upgrade to 32gb)

Edit : Just tried in the us apple store and it is the same. They add 900$ not 500$.

If you use the wizard on the apple website it will also add the cost for the RAM upgrade, taking it to £2799

Yes, I was being really rather stupid there. Didn't pay attention the bottom line, earlier. When you select to Pro max, it adds £500 for the Pro Max plus a further £400 for the mandatory 32GB upgrade.

Yep - was about to post what a bloody idiot I'd been earlier and then the forum fell over... Thanks all.

tbh i was disappointed since i had a 16" config'd and would def have done the max if it was just another $100 haha
