So add the SSD + the updated Ram + updated graphics card + the new display... You guys are expecting it to cost the same as the one that has less than it? Hell, if you were to add these upgrades yourself through the site you'd still be paying a little more over $2200...
Apple alrdy got you bruh...
the old MBP doesnt cost anything close to 2k to produce, but thats the price they deemed acceptible in todays market...
ppl paid it.
New MBP rolls out... better parts= apple make slightly less profit or sell for more... you see which way they opted.
For some reason ppl thought the gouging wouldnt be as severe this go around but nah they jus make yall believe these new additions are worth paying even more than you used to.
A good 240 hz smart tv is 2k... does that mean next year when the hz jump a lil we should pay 2k+ ?
the older model genrally drops in price and the newer model stays consistent w/ electronics.... not so much with Apple.
If i still had apple stock id sell before the i5 drops. failure after failure with this company but they have their customers so brainwashed they continue to not only get away with it but be one of the most profitable companies in exstiance...
theyre due to fall off.
