> The base level Porsche is absolutely slow compared to the top-end.

It's still very fast compared to a 100 hp budget car (HP is selling 8GB laptops for $300 and you can get a 16 GB one for $500 with 512 GB of storage, the Air starts at $1000, is Porsche offering models with 100 engines?)

> The base level Tesla has vastly less range than the top-end.

Vastly is an exaggeration but let's say so. It still has a much larger battery than budget EV with ~30 kWh batteries)

> You missed the point entirely.

I don't think so.

> geared towards pros is laughable

I didn't say anything about pros. A 16GB + 512GB laptop is certainly not "geared towards pros" and Apple only gives you half that.

> Companies make a range of products to suit a range on consumers and needs.

Maximizing profits comes first in this case. Apple uses segmentation to up charge their customers for upgrades (at obscene margins) because their clients have no other options if they want macOS. Again an extra 8GB would cost peanuts...

You're complaining that Apple sell a laptop with specs you don't want, while they sell a laptop that does have the specs you want.

Utter nonsense.

I think you just want something to complain about.

I wasn't complaining just replying to your somewhat silly analogies...

The whole thread was basically about Apple purposefully crippling base/cheapest configs (which most uninformed people tend to buy) to maximize their profit margins and make their laptop less future proof

> Apple sell a laptop with specs you don't want, while they sell a laptop that does have the specs you want

Of course they actually don't. There is no 32 GB or 64GB MacBook Air.

> I think you just want something to complain about.

Perhaps, other people prefer complaining about other people complaining so to each his own, I guess...
