Mac sales are down.
I’m really not surprised. They are just a bit too expensive once you start upgrading the storage and ram.
I have been holding out on buying a Mac since the M2 was rumored to come out.
I keep hoping that the base model will have a larger amount of storage and ram, but it does not.
They keep selling faster processors, but I do not need that, I need more storage and I’d like more ram.
At this point, I’m just going to buy a used M1 air. If Apple had 512 and 26 standard on the base air, I’d pickup a new one today.
Do you disagree? What can Apple do to increase Mac sales?
Read about a modular, upgradable PC laptop yesterday, the Framework.
Buffed it from the base and came up with a price of $3920. https://frame.work/ca/en/products/laptop16-diy-amd-7040/configuration/new?variant_id=454
A 16” MBP, with similar specs (96Gb RAM, since 64Gb unavailable)?
A paltry $4699. For.a.laptop. https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro/16-inch-space-black-apple-m3-max-with-14-core-cpu-and-30-core-gpu-36gb-memory-1tb#
