I mean it would be harder to knock them if Apple hadn't breached the discussion by charging $350 for their ergo-lift iPad case (or whatever the hell it's called).

I'm not fond of the Surface tablets (or even the keyboards really) but I have no idea what kind of person would balk at this price tag at this point. Nobody knows what anything is worth anymore, of course Microsoft can get away selling a Alcantara accessory for $500. Who among you is willing to bitch about a Microsoft product from your ivory tower of paying a monthly subscription for a git GUI?




Or $700 for wheels for the Mac Pro. I just bought wheels for my car for less than that.


Holy Moley I thought this was a joke. What the actual hell apple, are we going to mars on those wheels?


I don't understand people paying this much for what will 80% of the time be an internet browsing/document editing machine.

I have been driving $700 clevos, running Linux and they are blazing fast with nvme storage. And I can use it to code in Go, Elixir, zero problems.


Tax write off, showing off purchasing power.

The only people I’ve ever seen buy that kind of crap for personal stuff are showing off their purchasing power.

I used to be like that when I first got my taste of money. Then I realized I’m a moron.

Just my 2 cents.


I think there's also a bunch of people where it's not exactly showing off, it's just they have so much disposable income they don't care if it's worth it or not, it's the official thing and they don't want to do any research so they just buy it


Or with the $999 monitor stand
