I don't think price is the main issue for most people in tech

  This comment only applies to tech people working in the US, and mostly California.

  For many people in tech price of the new MacBook is greater than monthly net salary.

    + 1. to get a usable MBP spec (i.e. at least 1TB disk and 24GB RAM) you’re looking at a 2,689€ price tag here in Germany. Not an issue if it’s company provided, but outside, this is more than two months worth of rent and a substantial part of a post tax income of a software engineer in Germany.

      The equivalent Dell Precision laptop is about the same price. A laptop lasts for several years so thats only a few hundred euros per year.
