Apple will no longer fix the $17,000 gold Apple Watch::The original Apple Watch models, including the $10,000-plus 18-karat gold Edition that Beyoncé wore, are now officially obsolete and won’t get parts, repair, or replacement services.
I mean, a 17k$ (back then) workstation from the 90s would still be fine. People love their SGI and Sun machines.
Not sure how much they did cost back then, I was born in 1996, but you get the idea.
A $17k workstation from the 90’s would not even be able to browse the internet.
To put it in perspective, we didn’t even have multi-core CPUs until the mid 2000’s, a mid 90’s machine would have around 400 MHz on a single core and that’s being generous.
You’d be able to upgrade the insides while still looking opulently golden.
I’m well aware of what these are capable of, these things are not bought for your Twitter and Reddit activities.
And yet a $17k apple power Mac g5 today barely functions for YouTube

Macs are not iconic.
