Have you used a recent M1/M2 Macbook yet? Even on the low end, their ability to deliver grunt over what the specs might imply is very impressive compared to a similarly specced PC. I had the same skepticism as you until I got my first M1 Macbook and saw it move very slickly with anything I threw at it despite the modest specs.
- superkuh 3y agoI do tech support for a couple extended family members that have M1 macbooks and they're quite terrible computers. I couldn't believe Apple sold a computer for $1600 with only 8GB of ram and 256GB storage and a 13" screen. I spend most of my time re: M1 Apple computers fixing the people's problems with their computer not being able to back up to their external drives because the internal tiny drives are full and time machine can't run.
- stevezsa8 3y agoWhy do apple charge a premium but give the lowest storage and ram they can get away with (at least for the base models)... I would genuinely like to know. Especially now that it's all onboard. If I was charging through the nose I'd at least solder a few extra nand chips out of an ethical desire to give a full-fat product for the premium price. I know Dell do the same thing though. If you want extra ram... it'll be 3x what Amazon will sell at. But apple charge a bigger premium for the base product I feel.
