> double in the next 24 hours

there is a time-honored way to do exactly that.

Constrain the comparison.

"Double the performance" (of $899 to $901 laptops with 2560x1440 resolution)

"Twice as fast" (as all laptops with thunderbolt 3 and no sd card reader)

That's a fair comparison though, if you're a Mac user and this machine is twice as fast and gets 5 more hours on a charge, you'll probably be persuaded to upgrade. If you aren't a Mac user I don't think they need to convince you now, they need to convince the developers and artists to stay on the platform.
