And yet a $17k apple power Mac g5 today barely functions for YouTube
Comment on Apple will no longer fix the $17,000 gold Apple Watch
vacuumflower@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year agoI mean, a 17k$ (back then) workstation from the 90s would still be fine. People love their SGI and Sun machines.
Not sure how much they did cost back then, I was born in 1996, but you get the idea.

Macs are not iconic.

A $17k workstation from the 90’s would not even be able to browse the internet.
To put it in perspective, we didn’t even have multi-core CPUs until the mid 2000’s, a mid 90’s machine would have around 400 MHz on a single core and that’s being generous.

I’m well aware of what these are capable of, these things are not bought for your Twitter and Reddit activities.

You’d be able to upgrade the insides while still looking opulently golden.
