Ugh, this isn’t a great format for a submission and I think the discussion here suffers because of it. Probably would have been better as a text submission with two links and a description but then they are maybe hard to click.
I don’t really think this is very interesting. The comparison here is:
Minimum spec 13" MBP < iPad Pro + larger size + next rung up in memory. But the difference is pretty small (<1%).
I guess a few things are going on:
- pricing may be adjusted based on demand / whether new stock must be imported.
- Apple tends to price the basic model cheap with the extras (often just more memory) at a large premium. So the MBP is cheap pricing whereas the big iPad with extra memory is not.
- the 13" MBP is a weird model and not one that most people would choose. In particular, it’s still using old case designs and keyboards and Touch Bars and suchlike. I suspect this is part of why it’s cheaper than the other MBP models. Most people would choose the new Air or the M1 MBPs with the bigger processors, newer (pre-2016-style) keyboards, and better screens.
