I’m not sure that Apple is a good example to use here. They just announced their new MacBook - starting at $3,000. Their new cell phone starts at $2,000.

    Yes because they raised their prices after not raising them for years and at times even lowering them. I literally explained this. Just a few months ago when the prices weren’t as high they released an entry level MacBook that is more powerful than a baseline M1 at $500. They also released an M1 Mac Mini for $500 that was so good it was sold out constantly because it was by far the cheapest option for decent AI usage.

    That's not the base model but fine, it starts at $1999, not 3 grand

    Again people dont even check the website before spreading apple hate

    Sure they make a fancier model that is 3 grand, but lots of companies have premium options. Why is that a bad thing?

    You can easily blow 3+ grand on a dell or lenovo too
