Maybe. Alternatively it could just be the marketing department milking the narrative over an extended amount of time. Going instantly 100% “carbon neutral” through carbon credits is certainly a worse move in this regard.
> Only after these efforts do we cover residual emissions through high-quality carbon credits that are real, additional, measurable, quantified, and have systems in place to avoid double-counting and ensure permanence.
Better than nothing...
Also interesting:
Maxed out: Mac mini with M4 Pro (64GB memory, 8TB SSD): Product footprint before carbon credits 121 kg CO2e
Min spec: Mac mini with M4 (16GB memory, 256GB SSD): Product footprint before carbon credits 32 kg CO2e
I wouldn't have thought that there is this much of a difference in electronics!
