Macbooks are at least $500-1k more expensive than any equivalent PC laptop. For $1k you're only looking at a M1 Macbook Air with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.

Screen resolution is great on Macbooks, but also great on certain PC models as well, you just need to do your research and buy a good one.

I agree that Macbooks generally have superior battery life.

I have a LG Gram 17 with 17" screen, 32GB RAM, 1TB storage, and 12th gen i7 processor and paid $1,500 for it. A Macbook Pro with 16" screen, 32GB RAM, and 1TB storage starts at $3,500, 2.3x the price. So yea hard disagree on anyone claiming that Macbooks don't carry a significant price premium.
