A die-hard Apple hater is literally watching transition tutorials because the DRAM shortage turned the Windows laptop market into a dumpster fire. This dude used to trash MacBooks for premium pricing and zero customization, but he completely bottomed out with a £1,500 budget and cannot find a decent notebook. Lenovo even admitted RAM costs won't normalize until 2030.

Meanwhile, the MacBook Neo sits at $689.99 on Amazon, and base M2 or M3 Air models look like the sane value pick. The guy mentioned everyone he knows with Apple Silicon gets 15-plus hours of juice. HP OmniBook 3 with a Snapdragon X chip runs $599.99, while the ASUS Zenbook S16 packing Snapdragon X2 Elite goes for $1,599.99.

And look, the Windows side isn't completely dead. Those two options prove decent hardware still exists under $2,000. But the price-to-performance crown? MacBooks are wearing it comfortably, and this whole saga is basically a live speed run of every Apple skeptic eating their words in real time.
