And even more incredible it's that someone spends this money on something like that

Well. It's like Apple, do some very good marketing and you sell something for double xxx times the price it's worth. Value is how much someone wants to give for it

Not quite, apple make all their own stuff and I dont see anyone else making OSX computers. He is buying up generic Ali stock rebranding and selling it for a 50-80x mark up.

Apple makes all their own stuff? Hmmm Intel inside? Samsung ram, screens etc etc.. Only thing apple makes is the design and he OS. And someone could not make an Mac OSx computer or they would get sued. Thing what already happened.
But you can always make a Hackintosh yourself

The only thing Apple can claim to do is assembly of parts. And even then that's limited to the Mac Pro which is still made from other pre-manufactured parts.

Everything else is done is a Chinese by a standard factory run by whoever presented the most attractive bid to Apple!

If you cant see a distinction and the point between what apple do and what this guy is doing with the beads then there is something wrong. The equivalent would be apple taking a budget dell, not changing branding or badges, upping the price and selling it at 80x the price ffs. But hey lets not derail a great thread with typical pedantic internet forum BS one upmanship.
