When it comes to laptops, I don't see how apple is overpriced. I'm currently in search of a well-built CPU-performant laptop with a decent bettery, and the likes of XPS and Thinkpads cost about the same or more than a similarly decked Macbook m2 pro. Only the GPU and upgradeability could be considered limiting factors.

The main thing that makes Macs overpriced is the lack of 15" MacBook Air, so to get a large screen you need to buy a CPU/GPU you don't need.

And the hardware is too good for the software longevity. A 10 year old Windows machine works fine if you have decent hardware (so, desktop, not laptop) but Apple EOLs and rots the software compatibility of your perfectly functional hardware after 7 years
