And this is exactly the reason the price increased. Apple figures its customers are willing to pay more for cachet and wealth signaling. They're going to sell less of them because they've already largely saturated the market, so it's time to make Apple products even MORE exclusive.

So, what explains the sudden surge in CHROMEBOOK prices, eh???

Don't believe me? Believe THIS Slashdot poster, who said:

"I'm typing this on a refurbushed ThinkPad X220 in which I just upgraded the SDD to 1TB yesterday (runs Manjaro i3 Linux) and got meself a Chromebook a few months back to try out the cheap ARM-based secure "Lord-Google-watches-over-me" option. Not sure if that test will come out positive, still carefully evaluating. The suddenly increasing (!) price in Chromebooks lately isn't helping though IMHO."

https://apple.slashdot.org/com...

Certainly no "Brand Cachet" or "Wealth Signaling" with THOSE POS machines! So, perhaps it more like worries about Tariffs and general economic instability that is causing an ACROSS THE BOARD price increase in "tech" products (which are nearly universally Made in China)...

BTW, my newest piece of Apple Gear (other than the Apple TV I bought a couple of years ago) is a mid-2012 MacBook Pro. I also have an iPad 2. None of that stuff is particularly about "Cachet" or "Wealth Signaling".

I buy the stuff because it works, is quite reliable, and because the company respects and actually honors my Privacy.

And because I develop Windows software for a living, and am immersed in THAT "ecosystem" all day, every day at work; so I KNOW the difference!

So blow your effete crapola out your ass. But I see that that is actually unecessary; because that's OBVIOUSLY where it came from to begin with!
