Lmao.I absolutely loathe macbooks
All the parts are pc parts, saudered together overpriced for the quality, no hardware customization available,
Literally you can have a much more powerful pc laptop for the same price without the limitations...
Hardware Customization only caters to a very small market niche so your argument doesn't hold up.
You just can't beat apple when it comes to design, quality and after-sales services.
PC computers are trash unless you're running linux on them. Buy a macbook now and show it to me in 10 years. It'll look identical and almost surely run as smoothly. PC's don't even compare to that. After 6 months you run into hardware problems and it looks chewed up and destroyed.
Apple is a brand, no one's forcing you to buy one. They definitely have the right to ask for that much, it exactly like Starbucks charging you for 8$ for a coffee.
On a side note, you can run instances of windows and linux (ubuntu for example) on a mac computer using virtulization software. All in 1.
All in all, the price of an Apple product is justified imo, you get exactly what you pay for and for 90% of the market, you don't need extravagant upgrades to RAM or the graphics apple.
If Apple were a canadian company, i'd doubt I'd see this from you lol.
