Have computer prices gotten considerably cheaper since the days when companies had human support employees? Some components have gotten considerably more expensive, so it seems like they haven't, at least on average.
- 4fterd4rk 1y agoThe humans have gotten more expensive.
- queenkjuul 1y agoYou have data showing wage increases for it support staff?
- vondur 1y agoRelatively speaking yes. My Macintosh Quadra 605 was around $1000 in 1994 and was a low end model at the time. Today that $1000 would be around $2100 or so. I can get an entry level MacMini for $499.
- Joshkop 1y agoI don't think you can just compare one of the first personal computers with today's hardware. Price for innovation and corresponding hardware is just way higher then for established tech items Its like comparing apples vision pro to whatever cheap VR stuff we may get in the future which everyone uses then
- hedora 1y agoYeah; a better comparison would be with a current generation AI workstation. I’ll randomly go with Razer, since they look pretty and are shipping 5090’s with high-end AMD processors. $3-5K.
