You raise an interesting question. I wonder about the mini as well. I think
the low power desk top is probably dead. They have the much higher end Mac Pro
but that’s a very high dollar item.
Apple hasn’t come out with a new Monitor in a while either that I’m
aware of and they used to sell one that was vastly over priced especially if it
hasn’t been updated. The pound 2000 or so for a decent MacBook pro doesn’t
seem to unreasonable but it still is a pile of cash. The price of the MacBook
pro line did seem to jump up quite a bit in this run. If you get a fully
loaded 15 inch model with 2TB of storage you’re looking at over $4000 US which
is a full 1200 more than I spent for a fully loaded 15 inch from the previous
run.
