Ethan W. Anderson, on Twitter/X:
I’ve plotted the most expensive McDonald’s burger and the least
expensive MacBook over time. This analysis projects that the most
expensive burger will be more expensive than the cheapest laptop
as soon as 2081.
Looking to the past, if you plug $599 in today’s money into an inflation calculator, that’s just ~$190 in 1984, the year the original Macintosh with a price of $2,495 (which works out to ~$7,800 today.)
