Mac minis are $600.
A physically smaller Minisforum UM480XT with 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD is $249.
I’m sure it is. So?
I’m sure it is. So?
Maybe go waste someone else’s time? Child.
And yet, people buy iPhones instead of 3 Mac minis.
People buy expensive Android phones too. What’s your point?
My point is that Apple is price gouging.
Neither one counter example nor whataboutism change the fact that Apple products are overpriced in general (and always have been). Or how do you explain their unparalleled profit margins?
What a ridiculous argument. They make as much money as the market will bear. Anything else would be a disservice to their shareholders.
Yeah. Well, the whole point since the top level comment has been that people are willing to pay too much for their hardware...
I give up. Stay happy with your overpriced devices.
I’m glad you give up. I’ll continue to pay for devices that provide me with an appropriate level of quality for their cost. Feel free to use whatever Android device you can afford.
