8GB of LPDDR memory is around $100 in volume.
That leaves $100 for everything else on the Pi, including the hardware, building it, transporting it, and retailer margin.
That leaves $500 for everything else on the MacBook Neo.
That's why you can get so much more from the MacBook Neo. There's 5X as much budget for everything other than RAM.
- yftsui 5mo agoAssume the numbers are correct, Pi spent $100 for a PCB with some components; Neo's hardware includes keyboard, 13 inch display, aluminum chassis, battery, charger. You remove the costs of the above from that $500.
- rerdavies 5mo agoI'm wondering how "everything just costs twice for exactly the same thing because it's Apple" factors into the equation.
