It seems as if for the last couple years every time Apple releases a new device it gets less expensive than the predecessor. I wonder if this is just an economy of scale effect, if as Apple grows they can afford to make less expensive computers, or if the lower prices are driven by falling hardware costs, or if they are deliberately driving the price down to grab a larger market share. Either way the Apple product line up is just getting better and better in my eyes.

  Right, but now you are getting more hardware for your dollars.

    Uhm, like everywhere else? Have you been alive those last thirty years? Hardware gets better, prices come down. This years MacBook is obviously and unsurprisingly going to better than last years.
