macbook pro 14 expected price

[Jorbanead]

This. Apple is hell bent on recouping the 5+ years of R&D they've put into mini-LED, which turned out to be incredibly meh in the end. And the chip shortage may indeed push them to raise prices. I expect $200 increases over predecessors.

Where did you hear they were spending 5 years on this? Samsung is the one who provides the displays for Apple, so they were the ones who spent R&D money, and the iPad price didn’t change when they went to mini-LED

isn't the Mini popular with developers? that could be another reason. Get a cheaper machine out there for people who actually write software.

I'm a developer and I would never buy a Mini over an Air/Pro. Neither would I ever buy the Mini for my team of developers.

Laptops are just infinitely more convenient.

I'm not much of a developer, so I'm less interested in paying for a screen that I won't really use. I have a buddy who IS a developer who feels the same way. Or, more specifically, our old (in my case, REALLY old) laptops are adequate for when we need to carry a computer around.

That said, the rumors have me drooling for ANY of them...
