Let me just tell you, I purchase upwards of 100 laptops a year for my business. There is zero comparisons in terms of value. Your comparing a dozen or so options to hundreds! Perfect example, I recently purchased a dozen Asus Snapdragon machines with 1tb+16gb ram and OLED screens for under 600. That just is not happening in the Apple world where they tightly control price and distribution. So my point still stands.
