If that is the case, for $600 you can get a decent non-Apple laptop. Apple is consumable jewelry, not computing.

Even Google is so impressed that they are trying to do something similar for the Chromebook, following Apple's model. https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/09/01/google-making-its-own-chromebook-cpus-inspired-by-apples-m1 https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/09/01/google-making-its...

- faeriechangling 5y agoYou have to account for this as a Hidden cost of buying a mac. Many business laptops use bog standard $100ish panels, Apple will slap you with a $600 bill. I maybe add ~10% to the sticker price of any mac in my head to account for extra repair spend. All the same if you're more productive on MacOS the cost of a Mac is likely dwarfed by the benefits. These days Macs also have hardware that's in a bit of a class of it's own, show me a completely silent Windows laptop that competes with the m1 air.
