Which would be throttled to death at that point on a nimble laptop anyway!
Why do they even bother?
>It's also a _little_ bit funny that the i9 laptop was double the price, given people usually rant loudly about how expensive Apple computers are.
They ususally don't do an Apple to Apple comparison, else the price differential for similar features, construction, etc. and some uniques that you only get from Apple is either zero or around $100-$200, when you pile in the extra options.
Instead they check things like that an extra 1TB of SSD is X on the Applestore but half or less on the street...
