【inherent eroticism】

You've saved for this moment. You knew Apple's top-performing MacBooks would be inherent eroticismpricy, but you decided, deep inside, that you will get the absolute best one, no matter the cost.

Well, we've get the number for you, and it's not pretty.

Announced at the company's October event yesterday, Apple's top of the line, 16-inch MacBook Pro starts at $3,999. But if you tick all the boxes while ordering, the final tally for the laptop will be $7,199.

For that money, you do get an absolute monster of a machine. It's a 16-inch MacBook Pro in Space Black (the color doesn't add to the price, but come on, we know you're getting the new one), with an Apple M3 Max processor that has a 16-core CPU, a 40-core GPU, 128GB of RAM memory, and a whopping 8TB of SSD storage.

We haven't tested the new machine ourselves yet, and many questions remain unanswered; most importantly, will all that power reflect on the MacBook's thermal management, especially under heavy load. In other words, maybe don't go for the absolutely most powerful one just yet, even if you afford it.

Oh, and one more thing: If you do choose the 128GB option, it will increase the shipping time from seven to nine business days to two to three weeks. Good things are worth waiting for, we guess?
