Yeah, you can't even get the high RAM ones.

And you know why, by the way.

Yeah.

But I can bet you they are not pre-purchasing and locking in purchases for the whatever 128 gig RAM modules for the Mac Studio.

That's more of a like, if anyone orders this, we'll get it built.

Well, guess what?

Now they can't get that stuff because like they don't keep, they don't, you know, when they're selling like the laptops or whatever, they're like, yeah, we're going to pre-order X number of million of these because we know that's how many you're going to sell.

How many max RAM Mac Studios do they even sell?

So like, ah, when those, when those orders come in, we'll just, we'll just buy them at the market price at the time.

Oops.

Now the market price is insane.

Maybe you can't even get those things, so... Yeah.

Yeah, because they probably pre-ordered and have a deal for those, but not for the Mac Studio.

On the PC side, they're starting to look a lot more like Apple Silicon these days.

And that's years after the 2019 Mac Pro.

I don't think... So you're saying like, oh, the Apple Silicon architecture can't scale up or whatever.

Everything you cited for the problems with scaling linearly and stuff, that's all to do with the Fusion architecture where they take two Macs and stick them together end-to-end, right?

And that is their problem with scaling.

The first time they did that, they screwed something up with the GPU and that didn't even scale linearly.

And then they fixed that.
