Yes and no, you can spec them as high as you’d like and apple bills you through the nose for upgrades. But if you get a base model air (~$1000), iMac (~$1300) or a Mac mini (~$600) they’re some of the best deals in technology. You can’t buy a pc with equivalent cpu and graphics power for the same money. Really powerful machines, sip battery, great screens, great keyboards. It’s impossible to get a new Windows machine as good and that’s before you factor in the Apple build quality and hardware longevity. I have 2 Mac laptops going strong from 2011 and 2013 respectively.
People who moan about Apple pricing are right - you can spend silly money on Apple stuff, but you don’t have to, and some of their value offerings are really very good.
south america, mostly.
but shit, us macbooks seem to cost as much as an used car too, don’t they?
