That thing (in all its incarnations) is a loss leader, borderline scam. It is priced way cheaper than it ought to be, so you don’t notice that the most basic of ram or storage upgrades cost roughly 6 to 8 times more than market rate. It is so bare bones that you can’t do anything actually productive without shelling the other $3-500 for the upgrades. And since everything is soldered to the board it is not user serviceable. The single most expensive piece of shit in the entire market.
What Mac has ever had that RGB nonsense?
I think they mean to show something “fancy and expensive.”
Which rather ignores the M2 $399 Mac Mini I can go pick up at Best Buy right now, which is kind of insane cost/capability.
But their upgrades are stupid expensive and there are things to complain about with Apple.

You might’ve lost us at calling anything apple sells a “loss leader”
