Agreed ! We should also differentiate between "expensive" and "good-value for money". a Ferrari sports car is very 'expensive' and not many ppl can afford it,

Agreed ! We should also differentiate between "expensive" and "good-value for money". a Ferrari sports car is very 'expensive' and not many ppl can afford it, a Ferrari at 35% discount is a great deal but still 'expensive' for most ppl. Bringing this back to the M1 Macs, I think what you get for your money in terms of computing, power consumption and build quality is simply amazing ! I think few can argue that. But in terms of 'absolute money', I def won't be able to afford a new M1 not when a "decent-workhorse" laptop cost about $900-$1400. Not saying I don't want one ! I absolutely do,but my broke ass can't afford one :/
