    They aren’t. They’re premium, for sure, but you’ll struggle to find a similarly specced Windows machine beating it by much, if at all (and when I say similarly specced, I don’t just mean a shitbox with a big, slow SSD and a ton of budget ram, I mean something with a decent display, good build quality, fast storage and ram, a powerful and efficient CPU, and silent/fanless if comparing to the Air).

    I will grant you that Apple has lost their fuckin’ minds with ram and storage upgrade pricing, but the machines as a whole are not that expensive relative to the competition.

      When they were still on Intel you could literally build one with the same hardware, and the cost was substantially cheaper. Is the OS really worth >1K? Nah.

        You could build a laptop? That’s news to me.
