I think the problem is deeper than that. Apple Employees are "lifestyle employees". They can't imagine why someone wouldn't just buy the $5,000 spec of a laptop if they want a modest quantity of storage or memory, and then get another one in a few months time when that one gets old. They are too rich, too comfortable and too out of touch with the common person - and in many cases what people actually use their products for. At the same time they try and squeeze every drop of money out of developers the can, Apple is owed for making their market available to others. | ||

Holy hyperbole. I am willing to bet the laptop capabilities that 80% of the population’s needs are available in a $1,000 to $1,500 Macbook Air, and 95% of the population’s needs are available in a $2,000 to $2,500 Macbook Pro. And they will not need a new laptop for at least 5 years. | ||
