M1 Macbook air comes with 8gb soldered memory. In the UK that's 899gbp.

If you want 16gb memory you're paying at least 1700gbp.

If you want 32gb, it's 2999gbp.

Most Windows laptops have upgradable memory and you can buy yourself 32gb ram for ~100gbp.

You might be right. The only shop I looked at was John Lewis.
