Mac Sales are Down (www.theverge.com)

Mac sales are down.

I’m really not surprised. They are just a bit too expensive once you start upgrading the storage and ram.

I have been holding out on buying a Mac since the M2 was rumored to come out.

I keep hoping that the base model will have a larger amount of storage and ram, but it does not.

They keep selling faster processors, but I do not need that, I need more storage and I’d like more ram.

At this point, I’m just going to buy a used M1 air. If Apple had 512 and 26 standard on the base air, I’d pickup a new one today.

Do you disagree? What can Apple do to increase Mac sales?

Nice, I paid less than 300€ for a new PC with 16GB shared memory about a month or two ago. This was with a 512 GB SSD, Ryzen 5700U system so not exactly garbage

Apple could win over a lot more people by simply making user expandable systems.

also cutting their price in at least half.

i can get better hardware than their "amaazing" chips for half the price where i live.
