64GB ram for my lenovo legion was 250EUR, i could not configure a m1 with 64gb for less then 2900EUR i hate it that they bundled the ram with the m1 max i wanted to order the 64gb ram option but the difference between 32gb pro and 64gb max is 650EUR or more, and i just dont want to pay that to have more RAM.

Your laptop has DDR4 memory. I’ve checked prices for DDR5 memory 64Gb - around ~€500. So the difference with Apple is not so dramatic.

it cost 250EUR to go from 0GB to 64GB on lenovo, but it cost 650EUR to go from 32GB pro to 64GB max macbook pro 16, so it is dramatic for me. Im buying a macbook for 4-5 years.

You want to ignore the difference between DDR4 and DDR5, but the market doesn't ignore it and DDR5 is more expensive (I'm talking about non-Apple memory sticks).

Also, you want to ignore 400 Gb/s provided by Apple's 64Gb memory, but... you know.
