Only if your customers are willing to pay that much.
While Apple chips are highly sought after in the West, that's still a minor part of the worldwide market altogether (and while I'd be happy to go back to M1 Max, I couldn't care less for their glossy displays, shallow keyboards and sharp edges — not to mention incomplete Linux support).
- GekkePrutser 4y agoSame here. My Thinkpad doesn't look as cool but it's so much better to work on. Amazing keyboard, matte screen that even has touch, no sharp edges. And it has PORTS! Apple solved these issues somewhat with the new MBP but the keyboard and screen still sucks for me. Their new SoCs are great though.
- solarkraft 4y ago... so? The customers they do have pay ridiculously high prices. Even a 6% rise of the full unit price would barely register, especially considering the increase in performance, which would probably easily justify 20%.

- mcphage 4y ago> Only if your customers are willing to pay that much. Yeah, I think they probably are. > While Apple chips are highly sought after in the West, that's still a minor part of the worldwide market altogether It is, but it's also the part of the worldwide market that actually makes high profits.
