    By the time you pay $1800 for 16gb of ram on the M3 why not add $200 (10% more) and get 18gb on the M3 Pro?

      This is exactly why Apple carefully designs their pricing strucutre. They want you to think that.

        Yes, they spend tens of millions of dollars designing and building machines they don’t want people to buy, just so they can make a couple hundred more dollars on a different machine. And if the M3 outsells the Pro because most people don’t want to spend $200 for benefits they don’t need, well, that’s, hey, look over there!

          I never said they don’t want you to buy it, I said they design their pricing structure so you spend more. The prices for upgrades don’t often reflect their true value, but a carefully chosen price point by Apple that leaves you in a position to justify spending a little more.

      Exactly, Apple is always enticing you to upgrade, that $1800 model is decent, but at $2000 you have even more ram (since the M3 Pro is now 18GB) and a slightly faster chip.
