Why are you trying to argue that the baseline specs from 10 years ago are somehow still acceptable today in supposedly high-end product lines?

I can buy a miniPC for 300€ and stick 32GB of RAM in it. Why are you arguing that this is absurd in MacBooks?

This takes corporate worship to another level.

Bullshit. They even solder components just to prevent people from actually avoiding price gouging.
