My work PC costs twice that. There’s Apples influence has nothing to do with my Thinkpad.

Please show me your $7k Thinkpad.

When you’re working with triple digit gigabytes of ram machines it ain’t cheap.

It's a lot cheaper if it's not made by Apple. Even the 8GB models are insanely expensive.

Apple makes by far the best laptop out there.

That may be but they're still not worth remotely what they're charging, and the vast majority of people buying them don't need them. They just buy into the ecosystem.

Also cloud computing is a thing. If there's ever anything I need a bunch of power for I run it remotely from my desktop at home or on a cloud VM. And my mediocre desktop will blow the M9 Super Max Ultra Megacruncher out of the water for most tasks.
