I was checking out the new MacBooks released a few weeks ago on Apple’s website and Apple is definitely scamming their consumers hard with RAM and Storage.

From the below images it’s clear that the amount of RAM and Storage you get is NOT JUSTIFIED for BOTH prices. Also WHAT SPEED IS THEIR RAM AND SSDs? They’re so VAGUE with this info, only telling you capacity and don’t even show what speeds they are. Not even the “TECH SPECS” part of the MacBook Pro’s website tell you what speed they even are. This is just purely hiding stuff from the consumers, I’m paying over a thousand dollars, I should atleast KNOW WHAT I’M PAYING FOR! This is absurd!

EDIT - Not to forget the fact that these are so called “Pro” machines.

Image 1 - Top of the line M3 Max MacBook Pro costing $4000 AND IT STILL COMES WITH ONLY 1TB of STORAGE? That’s absurd.

Image 2 - Base Model M3 MacBook Pro COSTING $1600 STILL COMES WITH ONLY 8GB RAM and 512GB STORAGE!

    People buy them, and those people usually don’t care about these details… they just consume - this is the entire Mac ecosystem

    Unfortunately, if you care about these details, you’ll need to head over to a Windows PC subreddit
