Yeah, the MBP 16” is pretty comparable to the Dell XPS in price - at least when comparing base models.
However, the costs go up a lot if you spec out a custom config (+$400 just for 32GB RAM). Then the MBP starts looking quite a bit more expensive. Overall I don’t think they’re a bad buy though if you want macOS.
- tracker1 7y agoThat said, the Mac pro, even starting at the base price is pretty outrageous... I mean, I get $500 for the case and $1500 for the MB, but the rest just seems to be too much in aggregate, and even more ridiculous for mfg upgrades out of the box.

In the old days Apple would have priced it closer to $2199 or slightly lower. Somewhere along the line they started making Mac same margins as iPhone.
