Yeah, I can't argue with the rest of the article, but that line sounded strange to me. I understand paying a premium price for a modern MBP (I paid a similar price for a Windows ultrabook that has lasted me a long time,) but $1400 for a laptop that even the author admits is mediocre is not "very inexpensive." It seems a lot like people who buy the 2012 MBP are doing it for brand recognition alone and they would be better off with some other laptop that has a DVD drive.
