Uhh... What?

Not sure why you’re being downvoted, that’s a ridiculous statement. 2000€ for a laptop is definitely premium pricing, not mid range.

I wouldn’t call anything with less than 64gb of memory premium, and if we look at macbooks were already looking above 3000

I think they are saying you sound like:

"It's One Banana, Michael. What Could It Cost, $10?" - Lucille Bluth

MacBooks are premium, no matter how much memory they have

Absolutely not, they are nothing more than their specs

99% of laptop users will notice no difference between 64G of RAM and 16GB of RAM. For example, I am a software engineer with an M1 MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM for work and a personal M4 MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM. There is no noticeable performance difference for my workloads.

'Premium' means things like build quality, speaker and microphone quality, camera quality, display quality, etc. etc. These are all things that are much more important to most people than raw specs.
