These MacBooks are definitely worth the money. They cost a lot but they are not overpriced. You don’t have to consider just the CPU and GPU but the whole SoC. CPU is impressive and GPU is good, but for standard workloads some PCs may give you slightly better performances (on the GPU side), at the cost of needing the power adapter to show that. However, for some specific workloads (especially the ones involving ProRaw video) the custom modules in it make it perform better not only than a Mac Pro, but than every other machine in the market. There is also the Neural Engine that could be more important in the future. You may not need those modules, but it seems like we are forgetting this are laptops with screens, inputs and more. These machines have one of the best screens, with high DPI, high refresh rate but most important the miniLED technology which brings true HDR. And that’s something very pricey. Far from defending Apple, they could sell this laptops for less and we would all be happier, but at the end of the day these machines are worthy in every aspect (specific cases aside).
