Yeah, current gen Macs don't really live up to their price points right now. Up until the last one, I'd say build quality and overall longevity made up for the price difference (hell, I'm still running my 2015 Mac work machine that I've run 8+ hours a day since 2016), but the lack of updated specs in the new ones makes power longevity questionable.
Modern specs with the build quality and longevity older Apple machines are known for? Sure. Old specs with build quality barely on par with other consumer laptops? Nope.

Minus the fact the processor will be 8th gen instead of 10th.
Surface laptop 3, build quality just as good as MacBook. Again 10th gen processor $1999. Still beats it by $500.
Apple hardware is beautiful, but subpar and overpriced.
