Highest was 64gb but ran out first. Largest storage was 4tb or maybe it was 2tb. There were no 8tb
I've ordered one for in-store pickup in a tax free state. I think that the price of 1TB for $849 is excellent. Right now, that costs $999 when available or $899 for EDU discount. What will Tim do? For M5 Mini, I expect base to become 512GB but the price to increase by 100 bucks like the MBA. So base price is then $699 for M5 16/512 and probably $899 for the 16/1TB. But only $799 for M5 16/1TB for EDU. But M5 can't run Sequoia so I'm OK paying the extra 50 bucks tax for the refurb unit. I think now was the time to buy the M4 Mini to upgrade an M1 Mini.

One other person got the 256gb mac studio m3 ultra like me. I kept seeing the 96 gb one coming back in stock yesterday.
The wild thing is that they had models on the refurb site that have 10-12 weeks / indefinite shipping delays on the main site. One could have probably resold those on Ebay for an immediate profit. If these shortages persist, it's really going to drive speculation / flipping...

I remember the Mini 2012 quad-core server craze back in 2014 where I flipped a refurb quad for about 500 bucks and used that to buy myself a dual core Mini 2012 refurb for free. I had forgotten I did that until you mentioned it.
