I buy second hand now instead of playing Apple's ridiculous games.
I recently bought a MacBook 12" 2017 and I deliberately looked for one with 16GB of RAM. Item is in great condition. Battery needs changing though.
2 years ago I bought an M1 Pro 14" (16GB and 512GB), brand new with 2 battery charges for $300 less than retail price.
Only the top end provides value and I'm not prepared to purchase a 16" M3,4,5 Max quite yet.
Until upgrades are $50-70 I won't pay full price for Apple gear. I recommend everyone else do the same. Ton of cheaper M2 products at the moment I hear.
Agreed. Overall, my point is I'm not paying those insane upgrade prices.
If Apple are going to nickel and dime me, I will nickel and dime them by never paying for a new machine again. I have an M1 Pro now (second hand $300 off with 2 battery charges at the time [unwanted corporate purchase]), it's totally fine for my needs and my last laptop lasted 8 years (rMBP 2012). I can easily wait 6 more years and by then pick up somebody else's used M3 or M4 with an upgraded SSD and RAM. Fuck Apple pricing.
No, but my gf did and her phone didn't start making the sound.
