I run a small self-funded SaaS and work+develop (Clojure) on an Apple machine. Functionality-wise I find it difficult to even consider an alternative (yes, I have used Linux as my main machine, I know the disadvantages very well). Now, as for pricing, lets look at some real data: * my previous MBP 16" lasted me 29 months, salvage value was around 50%, and the amortized cost was around 42€/month * for my current 16" MBP (M1) I'm assuming 24 months with similar salvage value, which puts me at around 60€/month The M1 MBP is a spectacular machine. It's faster than nearly anything else I can get. It's also portable, which means I only need one machine for home, office or travel work. At 60€/month I find it to be a fantastic value proposition and I don't think it's overpriced at all. I'm not saying you're wrong, just showing that a totally different point of view is possible, especially if you use the machine for work.
