Cheapest Country to Buy a Mac Book (alien.top)

I'm based in the U.S. but was wondering whether buying a MBP in Australia, as an example, would be cheaper since the USD is stronger than the AUS.

a macbook is like never worth it, apple is way overpriced for what they offer

What’s a comparable laptop worth its weight against a M2 or M3 mbp?

[–] nevergrownup97@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Or M1 MacBook Air for that matter. Just name one non-Apple laptop that can go to sleep properly, wake up instantly, stay cool, have a good screen, and perform somewhat close to Apple Silicon with at least 10h of battery life.

The HP Elite Dragonfly series is the only option that even tries to compete here and they’re very expensive, have bad screens, and struggle with Modern Standby like every Windows laptop.

None. Sure, Apple skimps on RAM. However, MacOS is far superior to Windows.
