​@Falcon these days they sell a fucking monitor stand for the price of an Air without even shrugging. Back then they were comparing their products with competitors like Sony and Dell. The Mac Pros back then were starting at $2500 for a quad core, same or below Dell PCs as shown in 2006 keynote.

[@dominicpascal5512]

EXACTLY, it is not even a device. It just holds your display and they market it as if they've cured cancer. No word of "this is a little pricey but worth it", they just pretend selling that thing at that price is a normal thing to do.

[@hacorn96]

it still performs really good for what it is built for, that is media consumption and lightweight creation. your logic is faulty because apple has been making people buy expensive products since the 80s also macbook uses technology which when introduced was one of its kind. just like the MacBook air in the previous decade

Nope, Sony had already thinner laptops like the X505 before the air was even introduced. Apple doesn't invent things. They claim they do but in all fairness, they lie a LOT. The ipod wasn't the first mp3 player with an hdd (not even the best when it came out). They did introduce far better tablets (pda) than available at the time. The smartphone market exploded due to the iphone (but again they weren't first. The app store made the most impact). W/o Steve they were going bankrupt. If he hadn't come back, apple would've been ancient history like xerox for instance. Heck, Bill Gates helped Apple when Steve came back with both money and software! Gates did this to protect MS but if he hadn't ....

@@Kerveros1904 dude, apple was really awesome in this time period for the average user. Mac OS was way ahead of windows, the macbooks were good, easy to use, had great hardware, were not super overpriced like they are now, very easy to upgrade etc. Also Steve Jobs was amazing at selling things. Before you call me a fanboy: I was (and still am) always the "nerdy" guy, going with linux based systems, android phones with custom roms etc and only had owned one apple product in my life. But i can see how apple (at that time in the video) won the heart of many people who did not care how the system works as long as it works because they did a good job making things easy to use for the average joe.

But they were never fast machines and they were never upgradable. plus they were overpriced.As i see it now, one was the machine that could be considered the ferrari of computers back then : the amiga. fast m68000 processor with a series of custom chips for support? check. a proper fast multitasking system? check. advanced graphic and video applications which were used even by personnel of TV channels? check. The closest experience to arcade regarding games? check. was it expensive? for sure, but it gave you fast hardware and an OS based on Unix that had multitasking capabilities. They did not sell you the slow 6502 processor! oh and do not call me an amiga fanboy please. i had never had an amiga. I had the good old average joe of the 80s, the cpc 6128 in 1987. A machine that did not excel in anything but you could learn basic programming and so did i.
