> ~800 Euros sticker price, no special promotion or sale. That seemed like a good deal to me.

Sure but at that level you usually get poor build quality and/or thick plasticky chasis and a horrible screen




Mine doesn't have any of those issues. I think some people are stuck with the impression that all Windows laptops are stuck in 2006 and haven't kept up in terms of quality. Mine is slim, full metal build, 2.5k 16:10 IPS screen.

So what am I compromising on compared to spending over 3x more on a Macbook? Is the Mac display, trackpad and build quality a bit better? Most likely. Is it over 3x better? Definitely not.

I’m not sure you can get something like that for $800?

No, you can can certainly get very nice Windows laptops for 30% less than equivalent mac or so. I was only doubting the price
