For a $1,000 laptop? I disagree. It’s fine for a $500 one but Apple doesn’t sell those.

There are tons of $1000 PC laptops with worse build and 8GB

That $500 difference goes towards a higher quality product with good support, not necessarily just system specs.

I think what they're saying is that they'd expect a $500 price increase to update specs as well.
