An HP Elitebook 645 G10 with an AMD Ryzen 5, 1080p display, and 32gb of memory costs exactly $1,919 US Dollars. They're running a sale on the 830, so you could get that for only $100 more than an entry-level Macbook Air, but you'd get a much less powerful CPU, worse battery life, larger frame, and worse screen [1]

Again, I think a lot of people on here have this bubble-sense that laptops are cheaper than they actually are, because its been so long since we've bought laptops. Or something. Laptops are crazy expensive, all of them. And the degree to which Windows OEMs have fallen behind Apple in both pricing and performance is deeply concerning.
