Comment on Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599
deltaspawn0040@lemmy.zip 12 hours agoI got a laptop from 2017 off eBay for $50 with those same specs. Installed Linux on it and it was good to go. 600 is absolutely outrageous in a world where used hardware exists.

You got a 2017 laptop with an A18 Pro chip? Wow that’s incredible!

No, 8gb of RAM (obviously older DDR but still) and 256gb or storage.
Of course the CPU and older components will be less powerful, but like… What do we use computers for now that we didn’t in 2017? AI? Oh nooooo, what will I ever do without local AI…
I got a bargain, but say you can only get it for double what I paid. That’s 1/6 the price. Why pay 600% more for a computer that’s not even that much better?
