The black option will function exactly the same but cost $100 more, right?

  

So… you rushed to make that joke about Apple pricing because… all their other black versions of anything have a higher pricepoint… or…?

Black MacBooks cost an extra $100 if I remember correctly, but that was maybe 13 or 14 years ago

I would buy a battery powered version for an extra $100

What is more concerning is the lack of availability from Apple for replacement batteries,  I have an otherwise perfectly usable MacBook Pro from 2010,  but for the past 2 years it has had a bulged battery.  The bulged battery makes it so the trackpad no longer works, and some safety concerns.  Brought it into an Apple store 2 years ago to get a replacement but was told they no longer carried replacements for that model.  That is planned obsolescence to me. especially considering 8 years later I still can’t buy a MacBook with the equivalent 2TB hard drive.  Funny thing is that model still upgrades to the current high sierra OS.  

Unfortunately, I just rebought logic 3 days ago. But this deal makes sense. Often the programs taught in schools are the ones people become most comfortable using. Carrying on to their professional careers and selling more macs
