My Xiaomi laptop is entry level and costed 300 euros including shipping from China and taxes It still does 8 hours on battery after 3 years Being entry level performances don't matter much, but it's still a good backup Bonus point: Linux works great on it For 13 hundred dollars (30% more in Euros) I can buy a pro machine, one that at least will give me the option of using more than 16GB of RAM The new Apple Silicon looks good and I love that they are finally shipping some decent GPU, but price wise they're still not that cheap ------ The downvotes are because I said Xiaomi or for something else? LG sells a 17 inches, 2.9 lb (same weight of the Air) 16GB of RAM (up to 40) and a discrete GPU (Nvidia GTX 1650) for 1,699
