Comment on Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse

Sub $400 windows laptops have disgusting trackpads, plastic outer cases, washed out uncalibrated screens, and poor battery life compared to an M1 MBA. Not even remotely an option.

No they don’t, that’s a very generalist view. But hey, if that’s what you saw for that price, that’s what you saw.
Like I said, everyone pays for what they think is of value to them.
I can live with a plastic case (which I’ve never seen btw), if I know I’m getting it for a much cheaper price
