> You can say that Apple always charges a premium, but not too much today on their main lines. Apple simply doesn't sell low-end stuff. Yes, a MacBook Pro 2GHz costs $1,800 which is a lot. However, you can't compare it to laptops with crappy 250-nit, 1080p screens or laptops made of plastic, or laptops with 15W processors.

Last time I checked, Apple was selling laptops with an Intel i3 processor packing 8GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD for 1300$.

Apple's cheapest laptop carrying more than 8GB of RAM is selling for around 2300$.

You can argue that you like Apple's gear,but the myth that they are not way overpriced simply doesn't pass any scrutiny.




Apple will sell you a 16GB laptop with a 256GB SSD for $1199.
