I wouldn't expect it to match my MBP for that price, but the webpage specifically says it does.

> HacBook Elite has the same hardware specs as a 2013 MacBook Pro, for 1/3 the price.

Maybe they are comparing it to the non-retina MacBook Pro, as described here: http://www.geek.com/apple/psa-non-retina-macbook-pro-13-inch... (which does have an i5, regular HDD, and 4GB of memory)

The last non-retina Macbook Pro is from 2012 though. http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#MacBook_Pro

It probably matches one of the lower tiers—note the indefinite article.
