Mind you, that regardless of your sentiment towards OpenClaw, not everyone is able to afford a sparse Mac Mini (especially given ram prices) and a ton of Claude tokens/super beefy GPU for local models to run this stuff. That's to the supposed "democratisation of knowledge and technology".

FWIW Mac Minis have not increased in price because of "RAM Prices". Same models cost exactly the same as a year ago. Maybe it will change in the future, maybe not. Who knows. But right now Apple seems to have secure a good stash of RAM to use and avoid price changes.
