96GB of DDR5 laptop memory is $350

Maybe it's better to compare LPCAMM2 form factor prices. For that, 64GB is $329. Still not quite the same as adding 16GB for $400, but it's a better comparison.

Thanks for a more apt comparison. I'd imagine Apples price is far less than the retail prices. Even then I'd be happy paying $400 for 64 gb in a m4 mac book. I'd be even happier with a ram slot again.

I don't think they'd go back to off-package RAM anymore. The benefits of putting it on one package is too great, and gives them just enough cover to be able to charge like crazy for it.

You’re right, but I still don’t like it.
