I will say the cost of MacBooks has fallen through the floor with the new Apple Silicon. My M1 MacBook Air was $1,100 for 16/1TB. I'm not sure how much good Windows laptops go for these days.

Are you serious?

It's precisely 1908,85 euros right now for an M1 Macbook Air with 16G ram 1TB storage, and I'm in northern Europe. That's over 2k usd.

A baseline M2 Macbook Air is 1515 euros for 8GB ram 256GB storage. Bumping that to 16g ram and 1TB storage is 2210 euros.

NOT cheap.

Last time I bought laptops was for my kids at beginning of pandemic. They used them for school and stuff for the past 3 years. Both costed $500 each and they still use them to this day. Though I went for a Ryzen 7 instead of Intel, so maybe that's why I got that good of a deal.
