nixCraft 🐧Why is the MacBook Pro so expensive? 🤔

It is not.
It is a computar that will last you like a top notch machine for at least 5 years and it could last 12 to 13 years total (like my MacBook 13 from 2012)

No you. You need the last version of the biggest machine because you do only very CPU intensive tasks.
For everybody else an Apple is very productive.
@pthenq1 @nixCraft You have no idea what I do or who I am, how I use or what I expect from my computers. If you're cool paying the insane prices Apple charges for their proprietary storage and soldered non-upgradable memory, I really don't care. It's your money.
Just don't go crying to the internet when your 8GB of shared memory isn't enough to do any actual work. Of course, you're always free to pay FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS for an extra 8 gigs of memory or an SSD big enough to actually use. Again, it's your money.
I repeat though, you have no idea who I am or what I expect out of my machines. I've been a Mac fan since the late 90's and currently have a small collection of PowerPC Macs. Until very recently I regularly used a 2011 i7 MBP, that I only stopped using because I gave it to a family member who could get more use out of it than me.
It's completely OK to like a thing and criticize it at the same time. Apple is a shitty anti-consumer company that makes good computers and phones. They overcharge for their products, they are hostile to their customers, they fight against your rights, and they think their customers are stupid.
Although, now that I think about it, nearly 30 years of reading garbage like this from Apple simps, maybe they're on to something.
Macs are great, iPhones are great, Apple sucks.
