Apple doesn’t care, and they have never cared about this. There’s no profit in making ultra affordable state of the art electronics.
- pjmlp 5y agoExactly, Apple fanboys should stop selling M1 as the solution of all computing problems.
- aenis 5y agoNot sure if anyone made that claim in this thread. It is however true that "an average person in portugal" can get around 1.5 mac mini m1 and not 0.5 as you claimed. Given that a computer may easily last someone 10 years of usage, and that its a tool people use to earn money, it does not seem relatively expensive.
- sgjohnson 5y ago10 years isn’t even a stretch. My Mid-2015 15” MBP is still going strong. It’s had 2 battery replacements (which is fairly reasonable considering it’s been 7 years), but I still use it from time to time.
- sgjohnson 5y agoNo. The M1 MacBooks are excellent price/performance, and more importantly, they are pretty cheap for what they are. You cannot ask for a good ARM laptop, and then when people suggest a M1 MacBook which costs under $1000, and can often be found on sale for even less suddenly say “It’s expensive and poor people cannot afford it”. It doesn’t matter.
