I’m not at all shocked, but that’s a pretty reasonable comparison.
Now if only I had USD$14k to spare….

Yup. Despite the internal hardware being cheaper and more efficient than anything we had even a decade ago, the package still costs a fortune.

I remember my parents saving up for a Mac Plus in 1986. Calculating the price, it would have cost $7487 in today’s currency, which blows me away… especially since only geeks owned a computer in 1986; it wasn’t considered anything but a luxury item in the home for most people.
So buying one of these today is like buying two Mac Pluses in 1986.

Can we not do clickbait titles?
My RSS reader gave me one title and the article gave another. I didn’t know which one wasn’t clickbait.
Copy the link in ChatGPT and tell it to summarize the article in a title:
