Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open
ryper@lemmy.ca 2 weeks agoThe £800 to upgrade the iPad Pro isn’t just paying for storage. The 1TB and 2TB iPad Pro have an extra CPU core and 4GB more RAM vs the lower storage tiers.

Ok, fair enough. That accounts for the difference in upgrade pricing between an iPad and a Mac.
But what accounts for the other £110 between the same upgrade on a Steam Machine and a Mac?

Apple could use higher quality drives, or have to pay a premium for being weird and buying controller-less drives, but yes, a big part of the difference is probably just higher profit margins.
Apple raised prices on a bunch of stuff today, and the iPad Pro upgrade is now £900.
