Apple is charging $200 for that same stick of RAM.
It likely costs them $10 or less since they buy in bulk.
Their UI isn't work paying them a 10x margin. That's fucking ridiculous.
- chrisseaton 6y agoIt doesn't matter what the margin is, to me. All I care about is is it worth it to pay $200 more for a MacBook with 16 GB rather than 8 GB. Yes it is to me, because I can get that money back and more from the value it gives me. I don't care how much you can buy the RAM for elsewhere, because what can I do with that? It's not of any use to me when it's not inside a MacBook, is it? It's irrelevant.
- huffmsa 6y agoFair enough.
- Bud 6y agoApple doesn't use "sticks" of RAM. There are other problems with your comment as well, but let's just start there.
