So this is something like a $10,000 machine before RAM prices rose?

I see Apple is currently selling a 256GB M5 for about $10K, so buying October's 512GB one could be, what, $13-14K?

A $0 per-token bill is great but this is clearly not something for normal people, just some businesses.

Props to your parent commenter for including context size. Because 131k context window is prohibitively small for my coding workloads so I know a 512GB Mac won't cut it.
