  A physically smaller Minisforum UM480XT with 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD is $249.

    The Mac Mini is a significantly better value.

      No it isn’t.

        Not at all. The Minisforum is overpriced garbage compared to the Mac Mini. They’re not even remotely comparable.

  And yet, people buy iPhones instead of 3 Mac minis.

    People buy expensive Android phones too. What’s your point?

      My point is that Apple is price gouging that you countered with a seemingly good deal of a less relevant product.

      Neither one counter example nor whataboutism change the fact that Apple products are overpriced in general (and always have been).

        What a ridiculous argument. They make as much money as the market will bear. Anything else would be a disservice to their shareholders.
