Accounting for inflation, the top of the line MacBook now is about the same as a top of the line Wallstreet PowerBook G3 in 1998.

Laptops in 1998 were rare luxury items.

I bought one a couple months ago. It feels strange to have a computer appreciate in value.

I’ve got an 8 year old, second hand server under my desk that cost me about $500 in total in 2023. I could sell the memory alone now for $2500.
