Yes, and their resale values are shit too. That’s another point in favour of Macs.

but people are still hell-bent on Apple giving 16GB for entry level MBs since very other Windows manufacturer does it

Honestly, if there was a Windows laptop which had decent build quality with internals and software that didn’t break, and the OS was more like Windows 7, I’d just buy that. The specs in Windows laptops are very good at this point. It’s just everything else that’s the problem. I don’t want to pay the apple tax, but because of these shitty Windows laptops I’m forced to.

I hope the Macs come with more than 8GB of RAM.
