Too expensive
I've got a 2015 Macbook Air. I've never upgraded anything in it and paid about £750 for it.
If I buy a machine that costs 2 grand - which for me is unlikely as I can't afford to - it had better be upgradable and not considered a disposable item.
For me this is a no brainer. My existing Macbook is good enough for my needs. If I were to upgrade to anything it would probably have to be a PC laptop now as the prices of all Apple's hardware have gone up to stupid money. I like my Mac though, so keeping the one I've got is what I'll be doing.
Also posted on another story a few weeks back saying I was miffed after buying an iPhone XR outright for £749 in an Apple store...only for Apple to offer me £250 - literally a few months later - when the 11 came out . If that's how they treat their own products and customers, they can do one.
