Maybe if they weren’t so expensive…
Honestly the base price of Macbooks has stayed right around $1000 for the past TWENTY YEARS. So the price has kind of gone down if you take inflation into account.....
The cost of the higher end models, however, has gone up.
The base models are practically useless though. 8gb ram and a low storage (both of which unupgradable) means they become irrelevant quickly. To upgrade to something more usable like 16gb ram and 1tb storage you'd have to pay 600 dollars extra.
Simply depends on your use case. They’re definitely not useless and more than enough for probably a vast amount of the population.
