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.

Fundamentally incorrect statement. On par with HP Lenovo and other manufacturers. In its price category.
XPS - 13 $1899
10th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-10710U Processor
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit English
16GB LPDDR3 2133MHz On-board
512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive
Similar spec Mac Pro 13” - $2499
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.
