minus-squarefirecall@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoFor me, I just feel like I’m being ripped off with those RAM and SSD prices. I get to spec’ing up a new MacBook Pro and feel like I’m being ripped off and manipulated. Which leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I close the browser. I’d like to upgrade my M1 Pro to an M3 Max but decide the feeling of having been taken for a fool just isn’t worth it for me. In Australian dollars the prices are more than obnoxious for upgrades.
