$1500 starting price for a computer which should be $300-700 is insane. I’ll be switching from MacBook Air to a PC.

Right. Sure. Please show us any $300 PC that has a High Speed PCIe 256 GB SSD, a 13.3-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit display with IPS technology; 2560-by-1600 native resolution at 227 pixels per inch with 500 nits brightness and support for millions of colors, and can also support two 4K external monitors simultaneously, and has 10 hours of battery life. Be sure and include the built in software suite. I don't think you'd find a $1,500 PC that could do it. Certainly not one with anything like the Touch Bar technology or the much larger touch pad.

The Dell version of that PCIe SSD drive is ~$262. Try pricing out the screen.

LOL! I just configured a MacBook Pro 15 and a Dell Precission 15 5000 (5510) to be as closely comparable as possible. Hilarious.

Same Intel i7 2.7Ghz processor, same SSD capacity, same RAM, software suites somewhat comparable, Screens as close as possible to comparable.

I bet you don't have a MacBook Air.

Anyone can buy a brand new MacBook Air for $999.00

A refurbished one with a factory new warranty can be had for as low as $759.00

So show us this $300 PC that is as good as the new MacBook Pro.
