Apple has a memory problem and we're all paying for it::Apple still sells expensive "Pro" computers with just 8GB of RAM and charges a fortune for more.

You can't get a machine this powerful. Intel/amds laptop chips are blown out of the water by apple silicon. If you try to match all the specs you'll struggle to get many offerings below the price apple charge.

You can match the performance just fine, it's the performance per watt that's the issue... and AMD's CPU division is not making it easy on Apple (ref AMD promises its new laptop chips will crush the Apple M2 - and it’s got receipts)

If you get the CPU performance you can't get the battery life performance. Apples the only manufacturer that manages this. Their price reflects the reduced amount of compromises they make. If you really need good performance across the board in a laptop, the value is their. If you need a browser and office suite on a budget, the value isnt their.

Unfortunately, they still can't figure out thermals. So your CPU by default bottlenecks itself to protect the silicon.
