Same, and I think we're close. "The original 1984 128k Mac model was $2,495, and the 1985 512k Mac was $2,795" [1]. That's $8 to 9 thousand today. About the price of a 32-core, 80-GPU M3 Ultra Mac Studio with 256 GB RAM.

The maxed out 512GB RAM Mac Studio is no longer available from Apple and is now pushing $20 thousand in the secondary market. And we might not even see a new Mac Studio release from Apple before October.
