Well right now I have a refurbished Mac Mini M2 Pro. I got it for only $1,099 instead of $1,299. So $200 off it was. Yeah it's worth it, but it's still way overpriced. Right now I'm posting up this poll because I don't neccessarly like the Mac dock, it doesn't cover side to side like the windows taskbar does. I also hate the menu bar always at the top, I really think it should come within each app like on windows and most linux platforms. I also hate that X doesn't close apps, you have to go to menu bar to fully close an app. It's all kinda of a headache more than easy use. So it's like I could get a PC with a graphics card for less price than this. Which rises the question of is Apple overpriced? Yes. It works great yes indeed. But it's still overpriced and it does a lot less as there is more programs and games written for Windows and not Mac.
Overpriced means the same thing as expensive to me. I don't altar the definitions. I know they have different definitions, but to me really, expensive and overpriced is the same thing in the price market anyway.
The way I see it is I deem something overpriced if I don't find value in it. I can certainly acknowledge that Apple products are expensive, but I don't think they're overpriced because I extract meaningful value from them that I can't get anywhere else.

Dang, this argument like a movie yo!
Games are still made 100% for Intel and AMD x86 x64. Maybe about 5 to 10% of the game market has gone to ARM. That's it. Which means Intel and AMD will stay market leaders for years and years to come.
Well those high end machines will probably be x86, but vast majority laptops will be better of to be on ARM, given just the fact, how long laptop can stay on battery. Yes there is just one vendor so far, but I think it will go fast. Will see
I'm about to join that. But yeah I have bought a ton of Apple products ever since they transitioned to Intel use back then. I just think Apple is extremely ovepriced for what they give. Yeah there products work great. However you can get similar speced out things at a lower price and that proces that Apple products are overpriced. I've checked many websites that have compared ARM to Intel and AMD processors and ARM is still very very much behind Intel core i7 11th gen and higher as well as Intel core i9s, as well as AMD Ryzen 7 and 9 as well. ARM is about at the rank of Intel core i5 though.
Way back I bought a basic laptop. My budget was $1,000 CDN. I got a Dell 15" laptop which did the job. This was way back before Apple got their ecom sales skyhigh and when Future Shop in Canada was still around. Im not sure if Apple even had their Apple retail shops at the time. Similar spec Apple gear was $2,400.
