Re:Apple Silicon M1 chip in MacBook Air outperforms high-end... by mumblemumble on Thursday November 12, 2020 @08:43AM (#25069735)
I got a new computer from work last year. I spent quite a while carefully studying my options, and what I saw came down to this:

If you're only looking for computers that are comparable according to the usual hardware specs (cpu, ram, etc.), a Mac costs 25-50% more than the cheapest comparable PC.

If you also throw ergonomic factors like weight and battery life into the comparison, there's no price difference.

(This was USA prices.)

Macs are significantly cheaper in the US than in Europe.
