I was configuring my M5 MBP preorder and 48=>64 was 250 EUR so not sure if they cut prices or your numbers are outdated ?

Prices in the US are usually much lower than in Europe. I just checked and 48->64 ram bump is still $200

I just did a 14" MBP with M5 Max, 128GB RAM, 4TB SSD, nano-texture display. Price difference is $5849 vs 7004 EUR ($8136).

I'd say half of that difference is that we have VAT included in price.

But my point is that's a 16GB jump for 200$ not 8GB

US prices are often low enough that it's almost worth the flight just to grab one.

14' MBP M5 Pro 64GB - $2999 or 3449 €

That's not US prices, it's just price without VAT vs with VAT included. US also has sales tax it's just not included in list prices.

Well but some states don't have a sales tax.
