Just curious, what do you feel is squeezing you to a more expensive product lately?
I still use a 2012 Mac mini from time to time. It recently stopped getting the latest OS upgrades, but getting 8ish years out of a product before being gently pushed to upgrade doesn't strike me as all that unreasonable or money-grabbing.
- spockz 6y agoAlso imho the latest M1 air is excellent value for money. Cheap, great screen. And macOS.
- mekkkkkk 6y agoCheap is definitely arguable.
- whynotminot 6y agoI might agree that "cheap" is the wrong word, but "value" is definitely the right one. There's nothing at its price point that provides a similar value prop.
- spockz 6y agoOkay it isn’t cheap to buy, however TCO for a machine th at will probably you serve well for 8 years for around €1000 sounds good to me. It is also their cheapest laptop which is why I used the word cheap.
