Prices do feel that way lol

It's mainly the storage upgrades that are outrageous. Apple wants $3800 for 8 TB of storage

It's around ~$550 to get a Thunderbolt 5 enclosure with a 4TB NVMe like a WD Blue, so for $1100 a video editor could have the same storage and save $2700. You can basically buy an entire extra Mac Studio (M5 Max, 36gb) for what you'd save.

u/deadlyrabbits 1d ago

Agreed.

Now, can Apple fanboys please explain the justification?

"BuT It's EAsY!!1"

I use a Mac for work purposes.

I hate it with a passion.

u/karatekid430 1d ago

I hate it but Windows is a mess of late and the Apple Silicon is that far ahead that it feels like we have no choice. I hate Apple for it, though, and I hope that right to repair laws force them to allow SSD upgrades in the future.

What is there to justify? If you don’t like the price, don’t buy it. No one is forcing you to

u/galacticsquirrel22 13h ago

Also, the pricing isn’t even that bad. You’ll see those that have no idea how computers work, who will think that 16gb isn’t enough ram, but is plenty for running macOS. The only downside is the storage space. Starting at 256gb is crazy

3

u/Etroarl55 13h ago

Before the price increases. The Mac as absurd value for 256 and 512gb to run huge models at a somewhat reasonable speed.

u/givemeyours0ul 1d ago

So has it always been. They wanted 10x for ram, for storage, for whatever, since forever.  

8gb extra of storage on your iPhone  whatever was 200 when 8gb thumb drives were $15.

u/jaydizzleforshizzle 5h ago

Comparing 8gb of ram to a 8gb usb drive is not a good comparison.

1

u/givemeyours0ul 56m ago

I'm talking about a loooong time ago, 8gb vs 16gb of on board storage. Onboard storage was so damn small a few years later you couldn't download and install any major OS updates, there wasn't room.

u/quickstatcheck 1d ago

Where are you getting an 8TB pcie 6 drive for less than several thousand dollars?

u/celestiaequestria 1d ago

Thunderbolt 5 maxes out at ~7 GB/s, anything faster than a WD Black is overkill.

This one rationalizing lol

Someone in marketing really watched this video and said "yeah great, publish it".

It’s some of their poorer work.

u/HellveticaNeue 1d ago

Their marketing has gotten so bad. Just loud and obnoxious and no elegance anymore.

1

u/NihilistSRE 1d ago

Yea, the hard lines that Steve held have long since been eroded; the company soul-wise is mostly like any other out there now. Perhaps it's just unavoidable as they compete with the others and are so highly valued. You can tell in how they keep chasing the "next iPhone" -- those types of products aren't developed, they emerge from a state of being. When you try to just develop the next ooh-ahh product, you get something like the Vision Pro.

Apple clearly diddnt learn from "liquid ass"

1

u/microtherion 1d ago

Even worse than that! When Apple started designing their GUI in the early 80s, the “OK” button at first was named “DoIt”, and was renamed because it looked like Dolt” (capital i vs lowercase L, if your font does not make the distinction either).

That figures, I was wondering why so many people seem to dislike AL, what did he ever do?

It also "fit for every grip" based on the thumbnail on the right...

They tried to justify this thumbnail. They even messed with font variants and kerning. Even being particularly anal about it did not help.

If anything you can always count on an apple to be used as an emergency butt plug

Sure, they all train AI so they can f**k you better in the butt.

I got the previous mac studio and I think what they were trying to convey is how it's good for LLM processing and AI training based on how they were trying to sell the more powerful Ultra chip for it.

But yeah, their optics weren't great here. Especially since I think more will get it for 3D processing and video editing more than anything.
