Profit margin, plain and simple. I'm willing to pay a premium for the best laptop, been using macbooks exclusively for years and they are actually a great value for the quality of the components. But I will not pay 3x for comparable desktop that I can't upgrade just to run MacOS.
- lallysingh 9y agoYeah, and upgrade parts are far too much of an an (ahem) apples to apples comparison. Seeing a 20-30% markup on a graphics card might make people reconsider the value they're getting on their macbook or iPhone. There's some brand reputation to protect here.
