QuoteThe N1X only gains a slight price advantage if you need 128 GB of RAM, as Apple only offers this memory capacity with the M5 Max.
The top specced ASUS with the 128GB of RAM actually has the same price ($7000) as the MBP M5 Max and as far as I can tell has similar if not exactly the same other specs. But at that point the M5 Max is able to outmuscle the N1X in most use cases.
I do wonder if the smaller N1X will provide a better value proposition.
