alt Hacker NewsMan you positively demolished that straw man.
How much as a base model MacBook Air changed in price over the last 15 years? With inflation, it's gotten cheaper.

It's also gotten cheaper nominally. I just got a new baseline model for $750.
Some numbers to drive your point home:
The original base MacBook Air sold for $1799 in 2008. The inflation adjusted price is $2715.
The current base model is $999, and literally better in every way except thickness on one edge.
If we constrain ourselves to just 15 years. The $999 MBA was released that year ($1488 in real dollars). The list price has remained the same for the base model, with the exception of when they sold the discontinued 11” MBAs for $899.
It’s actually kind of wild how much better and cheaper computers have gotten.
