I do find it really funny that, bang for buck, you really can’t beat a Mac mini right now. $1000 gets you an M4 with 24gb ram/512gb SSD. Plus a bunch of TB4 ports. Those M chips smoke too.
Right. My point is that mac people pay absurd prices for their equipment. For what you listed that’s not amazing value. 512 ssd is a joke, that’s like 35$ wholesale for an nvme. I get that the ram inside the cpu is more expensive but my god they make bank on their hardware markup.
The new 2025 laptops with 50xx gpus are exceedingly expensive. We’re talking MacBook pro with 32GB ram prices!
