Apple being Apple again. Just why does anyone actually like that company?

I have no idea what you're on about. MacBook airs start at £999, and I've still been able to configure one at £1199 with 16 GB of RAM.

Also I haven't said anything about that magic ram nonsense, please don't try to paint me as an idiot. Even my personal laptop has 32 GB. But different needs, different price points. I still maintain that at the price points apple operates, it's hard to find something better with windows - not because I'm an apple fanboy by any means, but because of the laziness of Intel and the lack of decent ARM alternatives (and Microsoft's half assed approach to ARM).

    I was talking about the current generation, not a 3 year old model. Similarly if I was talking about iPhone pricing, I'd bring up the iPhone 15, not 12.

    You need to add ram to at least 16GB, and storage to at least 512GB, otherwise not only do you have a pathetic amount of storage, but your storage speeds are crippled (which apple unfortunately tries of obfuscate).

    That takes the price up to £1,650. £500 more than the base price.

    And I didn't say you said anything about magic RAM. I said please don't regurgitate it in response. I see it a lot. 8GB of RAM is straight up e-waste.

    I can't believe Apple wasn't sued over their "our RAM is... like... magic, bruh" statements

    I really poked the bear on this one, this is more a reply to both of you:

    Even if they were on par with other manufacturers, apples staunch position on never admitting security vulnerabilities or attempting to rectify them will steer me away every single time.
