Maybe you're European and apple products cost a lot more where you live?
In the states, base model MacBook Airs are frequently ~$800 on sale.
You can get an official refurb MacBook Air or Pro with 16GB/1TB for ~$1300 from Apple's website right now.
Those machines are priced competitively when compared to Dell XPS, new ThinkPads, etc.
They also have much better battery life, screens, and overall build quality compared to those machines.
Also MacOS is, for all its faults, normie-accessible unlike Linux and ad-free unlike Windows.
