Mac Sales are Down (www.theverge.com)

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?

If you're talking about the VESA mount, there was a lot of tech that went into that that explains the price, including sensors that auto-rotate the display when the display is rotated. It wasn't just price gouging.

You mean the accelerometer tech that's been included with every smart device for years, that costs significantly less than $1000?

They sell $700 wheels, $1000 for an accelerometer isn't really a surprise.

Hate to break it to you, but I could build that with $5 and a coffee.
