"Only rich spoiled brats spend 5k on a laptop that would otherwise cost 1k"
Not this again. A fully tricked out MBP 16" costs $6699. RRP for a Lenovo equivalent is $8,894. Dell doesn't sell anything that matches, but equivalent spec is $3,894.99 (MBP 16" $4199). System 76 - $3,174 with a shit display (1080p in a 'high end' laptop is absolutely shocking). Librem 14 (vs MBP 13" for $2299), $2,716 - again, with a really poor screen, but now the Mac has a better processor and significantly better battery life. So, yet again, we illustrate that when you look for equivalent new spec of an Apple device, they cost about the same. There is always manufacturer refurbished or secondhand, much like every other laptop.
