Love the juxtaposition of the
MSI Laptop sale on the front page vs. the cost of these new Apple laptops.
MSI - $849 for a 15.6" screen with, i5-10500H, 8gb of Ram, nVidia 3060, and 512gb SSD.
Lowest price Macbook - $1,999 for a 14" screen with, M1 Pro 8 core, 16gb of Ram, 14 core integrated GPU, 512gb SSD.
So for $1,150 more you double the RAM and two more cores but fewer threads, smaller L1 cache, no turbo clockspeed, a smaller screen, worse video card, no ability to upgrade anything yourself, and having to pay out the ear for extra dongles if you want it to be compatible with pretty much any normal product or cables.
