Plot twist: by 2028 the RAM upgrade still costs more than the rest of the machine combined.

Won't at least China have production capacities ready by then that make the price drop?

Nope, it‘ll take several years to catch up.

Their DDR5 chips are 30% more expensive, but they are willing to sell 10% below market rates.

The article says that they won't catch up in 2027 but I expect China to pour in resources to catch that opportunity.
