Honestly these prices are better than I thought they would be. Topping out at ~$50k is extremely competitive with the likes of Dell for example. These are not the kind of machines normal people buy of course but instead studios or a very specific kind of person who knows what they need and why. Anyone complaining about the markup on memory and storage most likely don't work in industries that buy these kinds of machines so it will be jarring to them but I can quite confidently state that Apple's markups here are not obscene in the slightest, at least compared to alternatives. Honestly I am kind of shocked to see the high end spec under $60k.
