Perhaps $150 is a bit steep in that market.

Lots of folks are curious in what step Apple will take next with Mac
hard and software. If you are interested in the current family of
systems it might be a good idea to take a step back and see where they
are heading. Will there be separate mac- and i- OSs or will they merge?
Will the hardware merge so that we will see ARM processors on Macs? That
will be sorted out then the new Mac Pro system arrives. Until then the
serious hobbyist with other obligations and limited resources could be
wise to wait and see if Apples new offerings due in a year or so just
see if is that is that they want. They do charge for the gear, you know!


Good advice, except the Appleseed will ignore it. I have an Appleseed
friend who pre-ordered two iPhone Xs. One for him. He sold the other on
Craig's List, for a profit. From what I hear, he is not the only one.
