2024 and Apple still offers 8GB of RAM on base modal wow. You cant barely browse facebook with that :D
There's one in every thread 🙄
Most people don't use more than 8GB. Unless you're using the RAM-hog that is Chrome that is.
That's an uneducated exaggerated unhelpful comment right there. I too am no fan of Apple selling 8GB Macs, but in reality, 8GB is sufficient for most non-power users out there.
Yes, but not 256GB storage. 256GB laptops have been the base configuration for over a decade. A few hours of 4K video will take up all available storage.
if you aren't browsing facebook within a docker container you're doing it wrong
Daily reminder to buy Apple stock.+256gb and +8gb costs them $50 max to produce. Cash cow
For a good investment you generally need two conditions:
I think most can agree that Apple is a good company. The main question is about the second part. They are paying 0.43% dividend, so if Apple stops growing and continue paying the same rate, it will take you 230 years to get even on your investment and start making money. Exaggerated example, but my point is that everyone should think critically. There are no obvious bargains in the market. Everything is priced in.
I’m not sure what the value of your hypothetical is… companies won’t magically stop growing, and they won’t magically only ever have a dividend either. Apple’s buyback program has a better return alone than some companies have altogether.
"There are no obvious bargains in the market. Everything is priced in."
Value investors would respectfully disagree.
OK. Which stocks have the best dividend yields on a consistent basis?
Right now I like MO and BTI, but there's always the risk new govt tobacco regulations could crush the stock price. Also, business develop corps like ARCC, MAIN, PSEC etc consistently offer high yields.

People will tell you don't chase the highest %s, so if you want true consistency look up dividend aristocrats and dividend kings.
My advisor years ago wanted me to sell my Apple stock in my retirement account. Mighty glad I never listened to him.
