Just sent over pricing to buy a new machine for a new hire.
In 6 months since my last business purchase for this company, machine prices have gone up 40% for less machine.
It’s a Mac purchase so they are budget strapped to a Neo or used M4/M5 Air to keep it under $1000 USD.
Budget last year was about $700 per machine. Small business getting killed out there.
