Seeing that we can use top notch computer power for cents per hour these days, the more trouble I have with Apple selling an overpriced generic computer for a few $K.

In a few years from now, we will laugh at ever having owned a power horse of a computer - slurping electricity and wasting space. "And you had that in your living room? AHAHAHA" Instead, we will have thin clients hard-wired to a Cloud-vendor for a fraction of the price and effort.

The computing power that Apple sells for $1500 would cost a lot more to rent each month on AWS. there's just no comparison.
