The cheapest M1 is $1300 in Canada. MacBook Pros are well over $2000. These prices are far beyond the budget of the majority of computer users. They are also beyond the requirements.

No, it's like comparing a BMW to a Honda. You spend a lot less money and then are surprised it doesn't perform as well?
- MBCook 4y agoI’m only trying to talk about just the chips. Yes, the MBA is more expensive than most people would want to pay. But it’s also not comparable to those laptops. It has a very high quality Retina display, the all-metal unibody construction, and Apple’s infamous profit margins. There is no reason to think putting a similarly efficient processor in an otherwise standard PC laptop would raise the price much. Heck, Intel loves there margins too. I don’t think the chip is too expensive. It’s all the other choices Apple makes that push the price up so much.
