    Oh wait, minus the MacBook Pro, I already have all of that, just the previous year model of the iPad and iPhone. I grabbed the M1 iPad Pro just after the M2 came out, got $400 off of that.
    Totaling it all up, $2800, $1700, $1300, $800, $550, $300, $250, $150, $100. $7950 before any sales tax, but also not counting any sales. Got my iPad for $1300, Apple Watch Ultra for $740, AirPods Max for $430, AirPods Pro for $200, Homepods I'd buy openbox/refurbished for around $200 ish (got the first gen for that much), then HomePod Mini for around $90.
    $740 saved from sales. MacBook could likely be found with a $300 or $400 discount to save even more. Just have to keep an eye out for the prices at different retailers instead of buying from Apple directly.

    First of all, fantastic video! I loved the whole setup and the range of people you got to play the game. I'd love to see a followup where they use their dream setup for a while to see if they like it.
    Anothony was great as always, very practical and got a setup that while not inexpensive was very good value (as far as Apple goes).
    I'm now convinced that Dan needs to be in every video. His humor and insight is exactly the kind of thing I love to watch. What I'd really love is to see him talking about what he would use for a professional audio setup, what his process is like, and other educational stuff in the audio space.
    Nicole strikes me as a pretty well informed Apple enjoyer, she also got a pretty sensible setup, and her presence on screen was very nice.
    Dennis' purchasing decision, much like the rest of his on screen personality, is silly.
    Finally, Jonathan still seems to have the critical fanboy perspective nailed down, and I think that both his setup and reaction to the price showed that pretty well.

    I have a 13 mini & I absolutely love it, mostly bb/c I have tiny hands. I find it really interesting how many people LOVE the form factor of the iPhone minis nowadays, but not many people liked them when they were still new. The fact Apple didn't make a 14 mini but went for the 14 plus b/c of low mini sales (at the time) shows this.

    About a year ago I made my ultimate Mac setup. I have my Mac mini hooked to a television on a tv stand oriented vertically. And I love it! It's a 52" inches high. So I can have an 8.5x11 page at 200% at the bottom to work on. And have a video running at the top without my work overlapping on that window. So convenient to sit in my chair with my feet up. (And my feet aren't in front of tthe screen either.) I then use Menuwhere so I don't have to go all the way to the top to hit a menu option.

    I think this is my favorite Mac Address video. Love the format, seeing other people's perspective and choices based on use case rather than price, and guessing the price. Whenever I talk to anyone about Apple products that seems to be the go to argument for dismissing the products as an option. Seeing everyone overestimating the price and Dan's comparison to his Threadripper system shows how comparable the prices are to similar options. Great Video. Always love seeing Mac Address in my feed.

    Great video once again! Very interesting to see how people would pick their own Apple ecosystem.
    If I were to create an ecosystem out of Apple’s current lineup, I’d get:
    M1 MacBook Air (16 GB ram and 1 TB storage)
    iPad mini 6 (256 GB) w/ Apple Pencil 2
    iPhone 13 mini (256 GB)
    AirPods Pro
    Apple Watch series 8
    Total cost (excluding tax): $3,784
    Ngl, that’s more expensive than I expected, but the extra cost is largely due to the higher storage configurations. It really goes to show just how expensive Apple’s storage upgrades are.

I might feel differently if I had gone with the 14" MacBook pro because it would be much closer in size to the iPad. It is really nice to have both Mac OS and iPad OS. I also have the iPhone 13 Pro Max, pair of homepod Minis and Apple TV in my living room to link my TV to the rest of the setup.

    I remember first using an iMac in my 5th grade classroom, the school got a grant and our class got 5 of them. The trackpad was so interesting and fun to me, coming from my family's Windows XP desktop. They must have been the slim unibody iMacs, the generation before the Retina displays. I have never owned or used a desktop Mac since then, but I have always wondered about one for basically everything a computer can do except for gaming. If I didn't play games on my PC, I would probably have one right now. I guess if I had to choose, I might get a Mac Mini M2 Pro for desktop and an iPad Air M1 for travel. If the iMac had M2 I'd get that instead of Mac Mini. I love the form factor of the iPad Mini, but I don't want to drop MBP money for desktop performance and portable. Apple TV 4K for sure, Apple Pencil for sure, Homepod Mini or regular gen 2 maybe? I love the look but hate the price of the Airpods Max. If I'm allowed to bring in my own keyboard, display, and iPhone 12 that I already own, my total is $2,787.44 USD. I kinda love it tbh...

    iMac 27" 5K has always been the sweet spot for me in terms of capability, form factor and price. The screen needs to be 5k or nothing, in my view. 4K doesn't do it. But, in its absence, the fact that a base Studio and Studio Display combo weigh in at £3,500, no longer in my price bracket. Mini Pro probably closer in terms of keeping the cost down, but £1500 for that Studio Display is insane! Got my eye on the Samsung Viewfinity S9 when (IF!) it ever comes out - not confident it's going to cost any less!

    I’d go with pretty much what I’ve already got.
    - Top end iPad Pro 12.9” with v2 Pencil and Magic Keyboard
    - Latest iPhone Pro non-Max 256 GB for now (the smaller one is perfect size for me)
    - Watch Ultra
    - AirPods Max
    - Apple TV top end model - expensive for a set-top streaming device, maybe, but also by far the best set-top streaming device on the market by a very wide margin. Only thing close is Roku and they cost almost as much for a less pleasant experience
    + Mac Mini or Studio with an M2, whenever that’s available and when I’m ready to spend more on more Apple hardware
    + MacBook Pro M2, probably 14”, maybe 16”, 32 GB RAM and probably 2 TB SSD depending on when I’m ready to spend more on more Apple hardware
    ? Maybe some kind of HomePod at some point just to compare it against the competition because sometimes Alexa ticks me off and I’m not sure it’s actually the best option
    I’d skip the high end Apple monitor due to the price difference between it and non-Apple versions of it or competitors to it. I don’t do anything that would warrant spending the extra money on the Apple one, but if I did, then I’d consider buying it because anything actually better costs many times more money. It is one of the best displays you can buy for under $10,000, but while I’m willing to spend money on good products, I’m not made of _that much_ money.
