While Apple's overpriced, what you're describing is consumer-grade hardware. Once you move on to Xeon/Epic, ECC RAM, Quadro/Radeon pro territory (and don't get me started on networking) the price quadruples. In this world, stability is more important than performance as downtime = loss. Not to mention the enterprise-level support. I worked in a few manufacturing companies, where the cost of downtime was around $50,000 per hour. If Apple's sales pitch is "this configuration is stable AF", they will find customers for their products. |
And for the average consumer without any specialized needs, there’s Apple’s M1 Macs, which demolish any Intel and AMD machines in their price range, and quite a bit beyond.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
