That MacBook Pro 14", M2 Max 64GB/2TB, lists for... $4100.

Unless you NEED that level of hardware, to earn your living, you're going to look across the aisle at PC laptops. Yeah there is some real junk, but there are solid machines to be found as well if you do your homework.

That's just the Apple Tax. Quite a lot of people are willing to pay it* - just look at iPhone marketshare!
