A viewer's plan: lease a Mac, buy it out, trade it in, lease again. It sounds smart, and if you love a new machine every couple years, it works. But leasing keeps you upgrading on Apple's schedule, not yours, when a MacBook lasts five to seven years. Why pay to swap sooner than you need to?

Why leasing your MacBook usually helps Apple more than you

$This Mac mini upgrade costs more than the whole computer Theres an upgrade on the new Mac mini that costs more than the machine itself. The base M6 mini is $900 with 256GB. Take it to 2TB and thats a $1,000 upgrade, so youre paying more for the drive than for the computer the drive lives in. Apple has always charged a premium on storage, but this is the first time the upgrade quietly became the more expensive half of the purchase. My advice: put the money in RAM instead, because RAM is soldered to the chip and you can never add it later. Storage you can add over Thunderbolt for a fraction of the Apple tax. And honestly, 256GB base in 2026 is criminal. RAM or storage, where does your upgrade money go? #MacMini #M6 #MacTips$

Buy now or wait? Theres always a better chip coming
