Marquez Brownlee discusses the Apple wheels for the Mac Pro, which cost $700. He initially thought the price was ridiculous but after receiving the wheels, he was impressed with their quality and design. Despite their high quality, he believes the price is still too high and that the wheels are not worth the cost. Brownlee suggests that Apple's motivation for pricing the wheels at $700 is to maintain their luxury brand image, and that the high price is a marketing strategy to create a perception of exclusivity and quality. He also notes that the media attention generated by the pricey wheels has helped to promote Apple and their products, making it a successful marketing move.
