Go look at the upgrade prices - the 128 GB RAM jump on the MBP is now $2k!
- psyklic 4mo agoand 2tb -> 8tb storage is +$3k!
- andy_ppp 4mo agoI looked recently and a new Macbook 128gb ram was £5500 which was expensive for me but I could consider it! Now it’s £7000 which is absolutely ridiculous. AI is useful but it’s sucking everything out of the economy and destroying it at the same time…
- byzantinegene 4mo agoit's destroying consumption before destroying jobs, which is somehow even worse than initially imagined
- ericd 4mo agoHa, that’s about how much our first computer was, with 128k of RAM. Nice symmetry to it.
- cma 4mo ago> AI is useful but it’s sucking everything out of the economy and destroying it at the same time… But did you want the 128GB for AI use?
- andy_ppp 4mo agoI’m part of the problem!
- ulfw 4mo agoIt's really not that useful for the vast majority of people if we are being honest
- oxzidized 4mo agoYes, based on my personal experience, it is much more harmful than helpful to the majority. Most seem to be determined to completely replace their need to think, as opposed to just supplementing or augmenting their thinking with AI.
- al_borland 4mo agoFor the average person, I think they would choose lower prices over AI.
- labcomputer 4mo agoAnd you can't even upgrade the Studio past 96GB now.
