Ain't no one gonna buy a Mac if they jack up the prices any more, it's already a luxury product so people will just pivot.

The entry level models have been the best value computers for a while

I had a thread ripper pro at work and it get beaten by a 5 year old m1 Mac mini for most use cases

If anything Apple is probably the one that can get away with price increases the most since they have the best laptops on the market. Yeah, yeah, you're stuck with MacOS but other laptops just can't compete with M series chips.

"Comparable" PCs cost the same, how is this any different from them raising prices like they already have?
