The macbooks pros are still competitive products. If you try to buy an equivalent windows/Linux machine. Matching all the specs. You’ll struggle (their CPUs outclass every laptop Intel/and cpu) and you’ll find they aren’t much cheaper. Apple just doesn’t cover the lower end of the market. If battery life is important, you can’t get a system this powerful.
You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. Their CPUs are ARM based, so yes, they can power down more efficiently than x86 and therefore squeeze a bit more battery life. However, they charge $2500 for a $1500 machine and every minor upgrade to them costs wayyyyy more than market value.
Which is fine. Apple can sell whatever product they want and if consumers buy them, then good, people are getting what they want and Apple is profitable. But don’t sit here and tell the world that it’s a “competitive” product. It’s an overpriced, fashionable, niche computer.
Also, the company your looking for alongside intel is AMD
You don’t know what your talking about. The M series chips absolutely destroy Intel’s offerings in the laptop market when it comes to performance.
There battery life performance is far greater than just the ARM benefit. Battery life on macbooks outperformed on intel as well. There software has the benefit of not piling shit on top of shit like windows. As well as excellent firmware, due to the limited hardware they operating system has to support.
You can’t get a laptop with such a good screen, weight, build quality and performance for less. It doesn’t exist every other manufacturer makes too many compromises.
