This is an incredibly lazy comment. I think you and most people would agree on the immense utility of Apple products. There’s also no evidence that demand increases with price in MacBooks.
- motorest 2y ago> This is an incredibly lazy comment. It isn't, and it's amusing how people get riled with a simple request to justify why dismissed someone else's opinion without presenting a single argument. > I think you and most people would agree on the immense utility of Apple products. They are consumer electronics, and laptop manufacturers are a dime a dozen. Why do you believe they are special in that regard? I mean, until recently they even shipped with a below-standard amount of RAM. > There’s also no evidence that demand increases with price in MacBooks. That's the definition of a Veblen good, something that is not known for being useful beyond serving as a status symbol.
