Think of the PC as an example. Everything (or almost) is standardize. You can replace you CPU from Intel by another from AMD.
The mac being the opposite strategy of tight integration.
It seems to be that tight integration lead to a better overall product but the prices are higher and the environmental impact worst indeed.

- Sohcahtoa82 4y agoYeah, but I won't have to replace my case, RAM, storage devices, GPU, keyboard, mouse, monitor, power supply, any of the internal cables, etc. There was a time when I could have had an AMD GPU with a motherboard using an NVIDIA chipset with an Intel CPU.
