I perfectly agree. It's just that when it comes to these points, I am quite annoyed that in the whole world, only Apple seems to realize that UX is a thing that's too subtle to design by committee. In principle, we could have a $500 version of the 2009 polycarbonate Crackbook, which minus the short-lived screen hinges was the point where Apple hit a usability threshold that made it a dream to use a laptop. Since only Apple realizes this, they could demand a ridiculous UX premium even if they offered a laptop today with 2009-level hardware. But hey, I suppose modern JavaScript on the web kills the hope of being able to use it with old hardware anyway, eh :P And those of us who care don't think twice about spending >$1000 on a laptop, it's the most important extension of your mind and that's worth the premium.
