Some people don't mind throwing a few grand every couple of years on a new machine. You see the same with the phones, they cost a fair bit but people just buy them anyway.

A little annoying that certain things aren't simple a socket that can be replaced though.

That's an interesting point.

I'm one of those people who pays ~$60/month on Apple's 0% iPhone loan plan. When my phone is paid off in a couple of months I would gladly pay $100/month for a 0% Apple loan on a low- to mid-range MacBook. I wonder if this will ever become an option.

Why not buy new and resell every year? Should probably work out to be half the monthly price at least. Sheesh.
