no it doesn't. you're living the typical delusional apple fanboy life. I bet you still believe all of Apple's fake performance graphs with no labeled axis lol. M4 = DOA. Mac studio = DOA with 512gb storage for $4k.

Nah.

Quote from: neverbuyApple on March 09, 2025, 20:27:40the Framework desktop is HALF the cost of a mac studio at 95% of the performance with MUCH better ram and storage options at that price.

The M4 Mac mini is half the cost of the Framework while being almost equal in performance.

Quote from: neverbuyApple on March 09, 2025, 20:27:40why are you comparing the price of a high end desktop with an apple mini PC?

High-end desktop with a MOBILE SoC with soldered RAM, lol? Ok. "Desktop".

HALF THE COST and with only 512gb NON-UPGRADEABLE storage lmao. next time try reading the articles you are commenting under before being reactionary and whiny.

Yeah, sure; Framework desktop starts at almost exactly DOUBLE the price of the M4 Mac mini 24/512; "excellent" value and perf/$, lol.

While others are questionable, the Air and the mini are simply way too good for how much they cost. And no, I'm far from being an Apple fanboy, quite the opposite actually.
