    I think the problems include the fact that an actual apple computer starts at 1000 and going higher than 8GB of RAM and 256G of storage costs you another 1000 because hardware isn’t really modular and storage and ram are a huge tool of market segmentation.

    Meanwhile a traditional desktop starts at $7000.

    It’s like they have lifted everything but the absolutely cheapest market segments out of reach of virtually any normal folks.

      These are the things i look at when reviewers talk about apple “taking gaming serious now” and im just like what.
