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.
