I would have loved to get the decrease in weight, but I bought my Macbook Pro 128 GB in March and the equivalent is now 50% more expensive, from 5000 to 7500. The memory price skyrocketing is so bad but I don't know if it will ever get better or if these prices are the best we will ever see again.

Those are completely disjointed things though, and one of them (price of RAM) is currently very-much outside Apple's control.

IF memory prices drop, apple product prices will likely drop. And it will stay lighter.

		Apple never drops prices, never. It will go straight into their margin. I have an M1 Max but I am not paying 50% more than a few months ago to upgrade. I have bought Apple laptops since 2004 but I can’t justify the current extortionate pricing, so I’ll sit it out (permanently if need be).

Hard to compare since the screen is significantly better and touch-capable.
