I think price comparisons depend on what you're looking for. You cheapest model with 16GB of RAM is 1800$. That's pretty steep, especially considering other laptops will let you upgrade the RAM yourself. And along with that you get the touch bar and the garbage keyboard. I'm just one person, but that's why I would never buy one of these.

$1200 for the Macbook Air with 16GB RAM in USA. No touchbar, no garbage keyboard.

Ah, you're right there. I didn't realize you could modify that.

The old butterfly keyboard that was prone to failure is history.
