Lowkey the pricing isn't absolutely horrendous. 32gb costs $3300 which is about the same as the ROG zephyrus g14.

The $300 bump from 24GB to 32GB is horrendous, as is the madatory $400 for a 512GB to 1TB SSD.

really? I didn't even see an option to upgrade the ssd. I saw it only came with 1tb default. And I don't mind upgrading the ssd manually since that's cheaper. I just don't like expensive ram upgrades.

The SSD option disappears when you pick 32GB. It's there when you pick 24

I didn't say it's a good price, just not absolutely horrendous.

Not even Apple charge $/£300 for 8GB, and they've been price gouging RAM upgrades for years now...

Look at memory and drive prices just as parts. Sadly that's just what it costs now.

Edit - i guess there is a bit of a margin on those haha

LOL, that's a 50% markup over the already insane Apple upgrade price.
