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?
They really need to up the base model and re-become the premium brand. But they probably have stats that 90% of people get 16GB of ram and it would eat those sweet sweet profits.
For the price of memory vs the price of the laptop combined with the fact that it’s non-upgradable and unified memory it is some complete bullshit that an $80 Raspberry Pi has as much memory as an $1800 laptop
