First it was phones. Now it's laptops. One way tech companies seem to be keeping costs down of late is by dropping chargers from their products, forcing consumers to purchase them separately. It's a common tactic for the best phones, but now Apple is doing it with the latest M5 MacBook Pro in Europe.
One the surface, this seems like a shocking decision, as buyers are used to the best laptops coming with the needed charger right out of the box. Additionally, laptop chargers typically cost more than their phone counterparts, making the purchase significantly larger than that of the laptop itself.
