You may compare apples to oranges because the CPU and other components may be slightly different(usually they are older and cheaper on the mac). It's a known fact that Apple has the highest(by far) margins on laptops.
Apple used to be priced and marketed as a high-end business quality laptop but now I feel it's marked more as a lifestyle product.
- dijit 10y agothe CPU is on display for the precision 5510 in the screenshot. That's the same CPU used in the high end 15" macbook pro. I'm failing to see how what you said holds true when the original price of the Dell is $1,000 higher than the Macbook. (with a smaller m.2 SSD, even.)
- CamelCaseName 10y agoNo doubt a substantial amount of that margin comes from the economies of scale where you only have a handful of SKUs with comparable sales to some of the PC manufacturers with many more SKUs combined.
